Raising FY 2026 Outlook Across All Guidance Metrics

 

PETAH-TIKVA, Israel, August 12, 2026 - Global-e Online Ltd. (Nasdaq: GLBE), the global e-commerce enablement platform, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

 

"The second quarter continued to show great top-line momentum, fueled by very strong volumes from existing merchants and the 2025 cohort of launched merchants, as well as strong initial performance from recently onboarded merchants. Given our operating leverage and the efficiency gains we are driving throughout the business using AI, our Adjusted EBITDA margin showed a significant step up of 300 basis points compared with last year, reaching over 20%," said Amir Schlachet, Founder and CEO of Global-e. "Given the strong results through the first half of 2026 and the trends that we are seeing in the market today, we expect 2026 revenue growth to show meaningful year-on-year acceleration, and we remain ahead of our long-term growth targets.”

To supplement Global-e’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, Global-e considers certain financial measures and key performance metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP including:

 

Global-e also uses Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) as a key operating metric. Gross Merchandise Value or GMV is defined as the combined amount we collect from the shopper and the merchant for all components of a given transaction, including products, duties and taxes and shipping.

The aforementioned key performance indicators and non-GAAP financial measures are used, in conjunction with GAAP measures, by management and our board of directors to assess our performance, including the preparation of Global-e’s annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate the effectiveness of Global-e’s business strategies, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. These measures are frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are appropriate measures of operating performance because they remove the impact of certain items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations, and permit investors to view performance using the same tools that we use to budget, forecast, make operating and strategic decisions, and evaluate historical performance.

Global-e’s definition of Non-GAAP measures may differ from the definition used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited. In addition, other companies may not publish these metrics or similar metrics. Furthermore, these metrics have certain limitations in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses that are reflected in our consolidated statement of operations that are necessary to run our business. Thus, Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitutes for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation tables provided below. The accompanying reconciliation tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
