A statement approved by the board attributed the rise in turnover to increased costs associated with a new relationship with Adyen. According to the revised intercompany agreement, Etsy º£½ÇÊÓÆµ is now responsible for acting on behalf of Etsy Ireland to provide payment collection and merchant of record services for certain credit card transactions.
This change has led to a £4.5m increase in costs and a corresponding boost in revenue.
The board also assessed the impact of ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East on Etsy º£½ÇÊÓÆµ's performance and concluded that these events have not materially affected the company's business performance. The effects of inflation and interest are not considered significant for Etsy º£½ÇÊÓÆµ, as it operates as a cost-plus entity.
The wider Etsy group, founded in 2005, is listed on the Nasdaq.
