Oddity Tech Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary: Revenue Decline Due to Algorithm Dislocation
Oddity Tech Ltd. reported a 25% revenue decline in the second quarter of 2026, primarily attributed to an 'algorithm dislocation' with its largest advertising partner. This issue caused increased customer acquisition costs for IL MAKIAGE and led management to prioritize technical remediation over immediate growth initiatives. Meanwhile, SpoiledChild demonstrated resilience by maintaining strong unit economics and high net revenue retention rates despite broader platform challenges. The company also launched METHODIQ as part of a strategic pivot toward the convergence of beauty and medicine, leveraging computer vision and patented molecules for higher-intent medical-grade customers. Looking ahead to 2027, management aims for IL MAKIAGE's return to growth through deferred product launches once acquisition costs stabilize. The company is also diversifying its portfolio with plans to launch 'BRAND 4' in 2027 and expects METHODIQ to outperform SpoiledChild’s first-year revenue.
