The Israeli company said revenue grew 9 percent to $345.2 million.

Under a three-year plan, Wix said it would take cost-cutting measures, including in its labour force, aimed at raising free cash flow and accelerating margin expansion. About 20 percent of the annualised savings are expected to be realized already in 2022.

For the third quarter, Wix estimated revenue of $341 million to $345 million, representing annual growth of 7 percent to 8 percent.

It expects revenue growth of 8 percent to 10 percent in 2022, below a prior estimate in May of 10 percent to 13 percent.

Wix noted the estimates included the impact of closing operations in Russia and foreign exchange effects.
