Company Overview

Created by IAC’s mergers of Angie’s List and HomeAdvisor, ANGI (NASDAQ: ANGI) operates the largest online marketplace for home services in the US.

Sales Growth

A company’s long-term performance is an indicator of its overall quality. Even a bad business can shine for one or two quarters, but a top-tier one grows for years. Angi struggled to consistently generate demand over the last three years as its sales dropped at a 10.8% annual rate. This wasn’t a great result and is a tough starting point for our analysis.

This quarter, Angi’s revenue fell by 19.5% year on year to $245.9 million but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 2.7%.

Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to decline by 7.5% over the next 12 months. While this projection is better than its three-year trend, it's hard to get excited about a company that is struggling with demand.

Today’s young investors likely haven’t read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next.

Service Requests

Request Growth

As a gig economy marketplace, Angi generates revenue growth by expanding the number of services on its platform (e.g. rides, deliveries, freelance jobs) and raising the commission fee from each service provided.

Angi struggled with new customer acquisition over the last two years as its service requests have declined by 24.1% annually to 3.36 million in the latest quarter. This performance isn't ideal because internet usage is secular, meaning there are typically unaddressed market opportunities. If Angi wants to accelerate growth, it likely needs to enhance the appeal of its current offerings or innovate with new products.

In Q1, Angi’s service requests once again decreased by 765,000, a 18.5% drop since last year. On the bright side, the quarterly print was higher than its two-year result and suggests its new initiatives are accelerating request growth.

Revenue Per Request

Average revenue per request (ARPR) is a critical metric to track because it measures how much the company earns in transaction fees from each request. This number also informs us about Angi’s take rate, which represents its pricing leverage over the ecosystem, or "cut" from each transaction.

Angi’s ARPR growth has been strong over the last two years, averaging 6.1%. Although its service requests shrank during this time, the company’s ability to successfully increase monetization demonstrates its platform’s value for existing requests.

This quarter, Angi’s ARPR clocked in at $73.17. It declined 1.1% year on year but outperformed the change in its service requests.

Key Takeaways from Angi’s Q1 Results

We were impressed by how Angi blew past analysts’ revenue, EPS, and EBITDA expectations this quarter. On the other hand, its number of requests declined and it pulled its full-year guidance. Still, we think this was a solid quarter with some key areas of upside. The stock traded up 13.3% to $12.75 immediately after reporting.

Angi may have had a good quarter, but does that mean you should invest right now? We think that the latest quarter is just one piece of the longer-term business quality puzzle. Quality, when combined with valuation, can help determine if the stock is a buy. We cover that in our actionable full research report which you can read here, it’s free.
