(1) Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes $6.9 million and $29.3 million, respectively, in restructuring and other charges. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2024 includes a non-routine, non-cash benefit to income taxes of $267.4 million related to the conversion of our Desert Newco, LLC subsidiary from a partnership to a disregarded entity for U.S. income tax purposes.
(2) Reconciliations of our non-GAAP results to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are set forth in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Share Repurchases
Year-to-date through July 30, 2024, GoDaddy repurchased 4.1 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $520.8 million, with an average price per share of $126.35. Cumulatively, these repurchases represent an approximate 23% reduction in fully diluted shares from those outstanding at the January 2022 inception of the current $4.0 billion buyback authorization.
Balance Sheet
As of June 30, 2024, total cash and cash equivalents were $444.9 million, total debt was $3.9 billion and net debt was $3.4 billion.
Debt Refinancing
In May 2024, GoDaddy entered into an amendment to its credit agreement providing for a new $1.0 billion tranche of term loans, extending the maturity of certain term loans to 2031 and securing a 25 basis point reduction on the refinanced debt. In addition, the proceeds were used to repay a portion of its existing term loans maturing in 2029. Cumulatively, this transaction and other repricings to date since 2023 are expected to reduce annual cash interest expense by approximately $25.0 million.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter ending September 30, 2024, GoDaddy expects total revenue in the range of $1.13 billion to $1.15 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 7% at the midpoint, versus the same period in 2023. Within total revenue, GoDaddy expects third quarter A&C revenue growth in the mid-teens and Core revenue growth in the low single digits.
For the third quarter ending September 30, 2024, GoDaddy expects NEBITDA margin to be approximately 29%.
For the full year ending December 31, 2024, GoDaddy raised its revenue expectations to a range of $4.525 billion to $4.565 billion, representing year-over-year growth of 7% at the midpoint. GoDaddy expects full-year NEBITDA margin of approximately 29%, with a fourth quarter Normalized EBITDA margin of approximately 31%.
For the full year ending December 31, 2024, GoDaddy raised its unlevered free cash flow target to at least $1.45 billion, representing growth of 16%, year-over-year, versus $1.3 billion of unlevered free cash flow generated in 2023. Additionally, GoDaddy raised its free cash flow target to at least $1.3 billion, representing growth of 20%, year-over-year, versus the $1.1 billion of free cash flow generated in 2023.
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.

GoDaddy will host a webcast to discuss second quarter 2024 results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2024.

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: our business outlook; launches of new or expansion of existing products or services, including GoDaddy Airo™, 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, partnerships and partner integrations and marketing strategy; future financial results; our ability to integrate acquisitions and achieve desired synergies and vertical integration; the expected impacts of our restructuring efforts and our debt repricing; our forecasted levels of future taxable income and ability to realize our deferred tax assets; 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 or divestitures; our ability to continue to release, and gain customer acceptance of, our existing and future products and services; our ability to deploy new and evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and similar tools, in our offerings; 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; impacts of our restructuring efforts and debt repricing; macroeconomic conditions and developments in the economy, financial markets and credit markets; continued escalation of geopolitical tensions; the level of interest rates and inflationary pressures; execution of share repurchases; and our ability to remediate the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting.
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 March 31, 2024 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, 2023 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which are available on GoDaddy’s website at https://investors.godaddy.net and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in other filings that GoDaddy makes with the SEC from time to time. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to GoDaddy as of the date hereof. Except to the extent required by law, GoDaddy does not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.
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 and short-term investments. 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 annualized 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, each with a unique account and paid transactions in the trailing twelve months or with paid subscriptions as of the end of the period. Total customers is one way we measure the scale of our business and can be a contributing factor to our ability to increase our revenue base.

BLUETTI Unveils Elite 200 Portable Power Station Promising Over 17 Years of Dependable Charging
Published
18 minutes agoon
November 13, 2024By
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BLUETTI, a leader in portable power stations and eco-friendly energy solutions, launches the Elite 200 V2, a 2KWh all-powerful portable power station designed for easy and convenient home backup power and outdoor activities.
Building on the remarkable success of the AC200P — praised by CNET as the “Best Overall Power Station”— the Elite 200 V2 is BLUETTI’s refined upgrade, created in response to valuable customer feedback after selling over 200,000 units of the AC200P. As the world’s first portable power station to use LiFePO4 battery technology, the AC200P set new standards in the industry. Its successor, the Elite 200 V2, redefines portable power station with enhanced battery longevity, a sleek and ultra-compact design, and a beautifully clean exterior, perfectly combining performance with elegance in energy solutions.
17 Years Use with Automotive-Grade Battery
BLUETTI was one of the first brands to adopt LiFePO4 batteries while others used NCM batteries with only 500 life cycles. Now, it raises the bar with ultra-long-lasting automotive-grade LFP batteries. The Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station boasts a 6,000+ cycle lifespan, so you can rely on it for 17 years of daily use — 12 times the typical industry standard. It’s also the first in the industry to pass over 33 rigorous battery tests by CNAS, ensuring high standards of performance and stability. This level of durability means you’ll have decades of reliable power and a more sustainable lifestyle.
Backup Power for Homes, RVs, and Beyond
With hurricanes and winter storms on the rise, along with increasingly lengthy power outages, reliable backup power is essential for peace of mind. The Elite 200 V2 portable power station delivers a powerful 2,600W output, capable of running household essentials like refrigerators, lights, routers, and microwaves with ease. Say goodbye to worries about spoiled groceries or a dark home — its high-capacity 2,073.6Wh battery keeps a 100W refrigerator running for up to 16.8 hours.
For road-trippers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station is an essential power source, charging everything from space heaters and coffee makers to phones and camera batteries. When powering high-powered devices, simply activate the Power Lifting mode to access up to 3,900W — sufficient for running hot plates, hair dryers, and other high-demand appliances. Whether you’re camping off the grid or embarking on a cross-country road trip, the Elite 200 V2 provides reliable portable power to keep your essentials running, making it the perfect outdoor power solution for any adventure.
Compact, Space-Saving Design for Versatile Use
Space is a premium in RVs, tiny home offices, and campers, and the Elite 200 V2 fits right in. It’s the size of a 1kWh unit, yet packs a 2kWh punch in a 13.7*9.8*12.6 inches body — 40% smaller than its predecessor. BLUETTI achieves this by integrating wireless internal structure design and advanced LFP prismatic cells, which enable zero-gap battery stacking for ultimate space efficiency. Unlike the commonly used cylindrical cells, the prismatic cells hold more energy and are less likely to have defects.
3 Fast Charging Options
Gone are the days of waiting all night to recharge your power station. With BLUETTI’s Turbo technology, you can top off the Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station to 80% in just 50 minutes with a dual AC and solar setup. And for you road warriors, the optional 560W high-speed car charger means you can recharge in just 4.2 hours while driving between stops. When you’re deep into the woods, it’s also convenient to charge from the sun at a maximum of 1,000W. Thanks to built-in solar tracking technology, it automatically activates to capture solar energy whenever there is light.
Tech-Powered Safety for Everyday Use
Using the Elite 200 V2 is as easy and safe as using your smartphone. The Elite 200 V2 is backed by multiple safety technologies for worry-free use. The proprietary BLUETOPUS AI-BMS smart battery management system regulates charging, prevents overheating, and keeps everything safe and stable. With multi-chip protection, you can confidently plug in high-starting power devices like car fridges through the car outlet or connect high-voltage solar panels without risking damage to the unit. Plus, it’s fire-resistant, shock-proof, and adaptive to your challenging adventures.
Super Quiet and Efficient Power
Say goodbye to noisy generators that can disturb your sleep or work. Supported by BLUETTI’s noise-canceling cooling technology, the Elite 200 V2 operates as low as 16dB — so quiet, it’s like the gentle rustle of leaves. This means you can run it in a tent, cabin, or even a home office. Plus, it draws minimal self-power of under 10W per hour when idle, giving you maximum efficiency with the least waste. Even if you accidentally leave it on overnight with AC/DC active, it retains 94% of its charge, significantly outperforming competitors that typically remain only 81%.
Price and Availability
From November 12 to December 2, the Elite 200 V2 is available at a debut price of just USD $1,099 on both the Bluetti Official Site and Amazon. Enjoy an additional 5% off with the code ELITE200V2PR at checkout.

Enhancing Guest Experience and Operational Efficiency with Cutting-Edge AI Solutions
TAIPEI, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aiello, a leading startup specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP), is proud to announce its partnership with Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR). This collaboration aims to redefine standards in the hospitality industry by deploying the AI-powered Aiello Voice Assistant (AVA) across six MHR’s properties in Singapore and Thailand, including Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore, Orchard Hotel Singapore, M Social Hotel Singapore, Studio M Hotel Singapore, M Hotel Singapore City Centre and M Social Hotel Phuket in Thailand.
Leveraging Aiello’s innovative AI technology, this strategic initiative aims not only to enhance the guest experience through personalized, voice-activated services but also to establish new benchmarks for operational efficiency and environmental sustainability.
“Millennium Hotels and Resorts distinguishes itself by leveraging cutting-edge technology and is committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences with a Blue Ocean Strategy mindset,” shared Saurabh Prakash, Interim Chief Operating Officer & Chief Commercial Officer at Millennium Hotels and Resorts. “By embracing Aiello’s AI technology, we’re adopting a data-driven approach that allows us to better understand guest preferences, enabling us to deliver personalized services while unlocking new revenue opportunities.”

By creating a bespoke AI database for MHR, alongside a property and corporate dashboard that visualizes AVA and TMS user behavior data, we empower hoteliers to monitor and understand guest interactions anytime and anywhere.

Pioneering AI Integration to Enhance Property Value and Drive Sustainable Growth
Ke-Vin Lim, Head of Group Innovation at City Developments Limited (CDL), emphasized that Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) is the first hotel group in Singapore to implement the AVA in guest rooms. “This initiative reflects our commitment to integrating advanced technology, significantly enhancing property value and positioning us as more competitive and attractive for the future,” he said.
Lim also noted that the adoption of AI aligns perfectly with MHR’s sustainability vision. “By replacing outdated in-room amenities and printed materials, we’re making a long-term, sustainable investment,” Lim commented. MHR’s six properties in Singapore have already achieved Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification. Shen also emphasized, “For instance, by replacing the cabling in over 2,300 rooms with AVA, we would reduce 6,240 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions, which is equivalent to what would require 284 trees to absorb,” further underscoring MHR’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Driving Operational Efficiency and Workforce Competitiveness with AI and Digital Transformation
According to an Oracle study, 67% of hotels are facing staffing shortages, with 12% indicating that this impacts their operational effectiveness. “Addressing these operational challenges has been a key motivation for integrating technology into MHR’s systems,” said Andy Tan, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Partnerships at MHR. “Integrating AVA with our task management system, housekeeping staff can receive real-time updates on room statuses and guest requests, reducing manual tasks and streamlining workflows.” he added. While system integration posed initial challenges, the expertise of Aiello’s team ensured a smooth transition with minimal disruption to existing IT infrastructure.
M Social Hotel Phuket Revolutionizes Guest Services with Aiello Voice Assistant
As the first hotel in MHR group to implement AVA, M Social Hotel Phuket has achieved significant success in transforming guest services. “Our goal was not only to enhance operational efficiency but also to deliver a seamless, enjoyable experience for our guests,” said Pjey Mayandi, General Manager of M Social Hotel Phuket. Serving as the hotel’s central hub, AVA integrates cloud-based phone systems, task management, in-room dining, and smart room controls, significantly streamlining operations. Since replacing traditional in-room phones, M Social Hotel Phuket has seen a significant reduction in call volumes, further showcasing the system’s effectiveness.
