Vimeo, Inc. has reported a strong financial performance in its recent quarterly report, with significant revenue growth and a focus on expanding its market presence. The company has been investing in new products and services, as well as enhancing its platform to attract more users. Despite facing challenges in the market, Vimeo remains optimistic about its future prospects and is committed to delivering value to its shareholders.
Vimeo is the world’s leading all-in-one video software solution. Vimeo saw a 1% increase in revenue to $104.9 million in Q1 2024, compared to $103.6 million in Q1 2023. This was driven by a 60% increase in Vimeo Enterprise revenue to $18.5 million, partially offset by declines in Self-Serve & Add-Ons revenue and Other revenue.
Vimeo reported net income of $6.1 million in Q1 2024, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million in Q1 2023. This improvement was primarily due to higher gross profit and lower operating expenses.
Some key highlights:
Total revenue increased by 1% in Q1 2024.
Vimeo Enterprise revenue grew 60% to $18.5 million, driven by 48% subscriber growth and a 7% increase in Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). This demonstrates strong traction in Vimeo’s enterprise offerings.
Self-Serve & Add-Ons revenue decreased 2% to $69.9 million, as a 9% decline in subscribers was partially offset by 6% ARPU growth.
Other revenue fell 19% to $16.5 million, largely due to Vimeo actively deprecating products in this category.

Total operating expenses decreased by 5% or $3.8 million in Q1 2024. This was driven by reductions in advertising costs, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation, and other areas.
Research & development and general & administrative expenses increased due to higher stock-based compensation from recent executive turnover.
Sales & marketing expense fell 19%, mainly due to a $7 million decrease in advertising spend as Vimeo shifts toward more organic customer acquisition.
