In addition, Cricut’s platform provides tremendous opportunity to interact with our nearly 7.2 million existing users throughout their entire crafting journey. Many of our investments are showing signs of success, building confidence that what we’re doing today will be the most impactful to Cricut in the medium to long-term growth.”
