*We define Klaviyo Attributed Value (KAV) as the amount of revenue our subscription-tier customers generated through orders placed by consumers within a specified period of time after a message is sent using our platform, which in the case of email is five days from when the message is sent (provided the email is opened or clicked), and in the case of SMS is twenty-four hours from when the message is sent. Our calculation of KAV excludes certain orders, such as those placed with customers that do not opt-in to sharing order data with us, and does not net chargebacks or sales refunds. KAV does not represent revenue earned by us and does not directly correlate to our revenue or results of operations. We use KAV as an internal estimate to track the value we drive to customers through our platform.
