Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY) reported Q2 revenue $528.9 million versus the consensus estimate of $524.84 million. Consolidated GMS was $3.0 billion, up 13.1% year-over-year; while Etsy marketplace GMS was $2.8 billion, up 14.2% year-over-year.

"Etsy's second quarter 2021 performance is quite remarkable when viewed in context of how dramatically the world changed during the year-ago period," said Josh Silverman, Etsy, Inc. CEO. "It is deeply gratifying to me and our entire team that we are able to report strong year-over-year growth, with GMS and revenue up approximately 13% and 23% respectively. In fact, excluding facemasks, which were an important driver of the prior year period, second quarter GMS for the Etsy marketplace increased 31%. We\'re demonstrating just how many purchase occasions Etsy sellers can meet in truly delightful ways, attracting millions of new buyers and engaging our customers more than ever before. We\'re seeing measurable results from deepened investments in our 'Right to Win' strategy, which provides a clear roadmap for product and marketing investments to make it easier to shop on Etsy, build top of mind awareness, and solidify buyer trust."

"In the second quarter we also announced two strategic acquisitions, both completed in July," continued Mr. Silverman. "Depop and Elo7 further extend our total available market opportunities in resale, a large and fast growing apparel segment, and in Brazil, Latin America\'s largest e-commerce market. In addition to driving growth in our core Etsy.com marketplace, we are now focusing on integrating these exciting businesses into our 'House of Brands.'"
