Freightos Announces Record Transactions for Third Quarter of 2023 and Date of Third Quarter Earnings Release

JERUSALEM , Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Freightos Limited (NASDAQ: CRGO), a leading, vendor-neutral booking and payment platform for the international freight industry, today reported Q3 2023 Key Performance Indicators.

The third quarter of 2023 was the 15^th consecutive quarter of record transactions booked on Freightos' platform, with 269 thousand transactions, up 40% from Q3 2022 and 12% from Q2 2023 and exceeding management expectations. Freightos' growth in #Transactions continues to significantly outperform the overall industry, reflecting the strong value proposition of its digital platform that allows real-time global freight-rate comparison, booking, and shipment management, and thus promoting efficiency and transparency.

Gross Booking Value (GBV) also exceeded management expectations, increasing 1% year-on-year as strong #Transactions growth exceeded the reduced freight rates in the market.

#Transactions growth was supported by approximately 16% year on year growth in Unique buyer users, reaching 17,312. The number of air and ocean carriers selling on the platform increased to 39, compared to 32 in Q3 2022.

Definitions

Carriers: Number of unique air and ocean carriers who have been sellers of transactions. For airlines, we count the booking carrier, which includes separate airlines within the same carrier group. We do not count dozens of other airlines that operate individual segments of air cargo transactions as we do not have a direct booking relationship with them. Carriers include ocean less-than-container load (LCL) consolidators. In addition, we only count carries when more than five bookings were placed with them over the course of a quarter.

GBV: Total value of transactions on the Freightos platform, which is the monetary value of freight and related services contracted between buyers and sellers on the Freightos platform, plus related fees charged to buyers and sellers, and pass-through payments such as duties. GBV is converted to U.S. dollars at the time of each transaction on the Freightos platform. This metric may be similar to what others call gross merchandise value (GMV) or gross services volume (GSV). We believe that this metric reflects the scale of the Freightos platform and our opportunities to generate platform revenue.

Unique buyer users: Unique buyer users represent the number of individual users placing bookings, typically counted based on unique email logins. The number of buyers, which counts unique customer businesses, does not reflect the fact that some buyers are large multinational organizations while others are small or midsize businesses. Therefore, we find it more useful to monitor the number of unique buyer users than the number of buyer businesses.

#Transactions: Number of bookings for freight services, and related services, placed by buyers across the Freightos platform with third-party sellers and with Clearit. Beginning in the third quarter of 2022, #Transactions include trucking bookings, which were added to the Freightos platform following the acquisition of 7LFreight. The number of transactions booked on the Freightos platform in any given time period is net of transactions canceled during the same time period.

Certain amounts, percentages and other figures included in this press release have been subject to rounding adjustments and therefore may not sum.
