Earnings Insights Q2 2020: ZI, VRM, HFG, ANGI, LYFT

Now that most US megacorps have reported their earnings for 2Q, we turn our attention and focus to two of this year’s hottest IPOs and one of the most interesting European companies that are reporting earnings this week.

While we often focus on American companies, given their market size, our data goes far beyond the borders of the North American continent, and earnings season is a great time to take a look at our friends across the pond.

This week, we’re focusing on ZoomInfo, Vroom, HelloFresh, ANGI Homeservices, and Lyft. All the data mentioned below is desktop data.

ZoomInfo, one of this year’s hottest IPOs, continues to show strong digital growth.

• Worldwide visits to ZoomInfo.com grew 26.5% YOY in 2Q. The month of June was the first month ever in which Zoominfo.com crossed 5 million visits.
• The number of MUVs to login.zoominfo.com is growing even faster than visits to the website. For the month of June, MUVs increased by 49.1% YOY.

Vroom Earnings Insights

VRM Earnings Date: August 12

Vroom’s growth in 2Q is evident throughout the funnel; from visits to its homepage to visits to its members’ area.

• US visits to Vroom.com grew 77.6% YOY in 2Q, as a weaker April (16.2% YOY growth) was made up for by an explosive month of June (169.6% YOY growth in visits).
• 74.5% of the visits to Vroom.com included a visit to Vroom.com/catalog, where users can search for cars to purchase, indicating that roughly three-quarters of the visitors of the website are potential car buyers.
• Throughout the quarter, about 6% of the visits to Vroom.com included a visit to a URL that includes the string /my-account/, another strong indication of intent. The proportion of visits that included a /my-account/ URL was larger in June, as 7.2% of visits included a /my-account/ URL string, despite the higher volume of visits. This indicates that Vroom is successfully moving prospects down the funnel.
