Average revenue per subscription (ARPS) increased to $157 in Q2 from $154 in
Q1 2018. ARPS is calculated as total revenue over the last four quarters divided
by the average number of subscriptions over the same period. The increase was
driven by adoption of vertical applications and an improved mix of higher priced
subscription packages. We believe that ARPS is the best measurement of our
monetization per subscription going forward.
Non-GAAP gross margin was 80% of revenue in Q2. Under ASC 605, second
quarter 2018 non-GAAP gross margin as a percent of revenue would have also
been 79%. We continue to benefit from scale, efficient resource management
and the use of multiple providers to meet the growing bandwidth and storage
needs of our users.
Non-GAAP R&D expense was $37.8M in Q2 compared to $36.8M in Q1 2018
and $29.2M in Q2 2017. As a percent of collections, R&D expense was 24% in
Q2 2018, compared to 23% in Q1 2018 and 25% in Q2 2017.
The incremental margin on R&D expenses compared to the prior year is
a reflection of our ability to drive positive returns through investment in
product development and innovation. The success of several products
released in recent years, most notably Wix ADI, prove our ability to drive positive
returns on R&D investments. We anticipate further leverage in R&D driven by
recent products such as Wix Code.
