SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•our future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;
•the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to meet our liquidity needs;
•our ability to effectively manage or sustain our growth and to effectively expand our operations;
•our strategies, plans, objectives and goals, including our expectations regarding future infrastructure investments as well as reorganization activities;
•our ability to effectively deploy new and evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, in our offerings;
•our ability to attract and retain buyers and sellers and the continued impact of network effects as we scale our platform;
•our ability to continue to generate revenue from new Resale-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) offerings as sources of revenue;
•trends in our key financial and operating metrics;
•our estimated market opportunity;
•economic and industry trends, projected growth or trend analysis, including the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, cybersecurity risks, changing consumer habits, climate change and extreme weather events and general global economic uncertainty;
•our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations; and
•our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic acquisitions or investments.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expect. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to attract new users and convert users into buyers and active buyers; the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to meet our liquidity needs; our ability to effectively manage or sustain our growth and to effectively expand our operations; our ability to continue to generate revenue from new RaaS offerings as sources of revenue; risks from an intensely competitive market; our ability to effectively deploy new and evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, in our offerings; risks arising from economic and industry trends, including the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, changing consumer habits, climate change and general global economic uncertainty; our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations; our ability to recognize realize expected savings or benefits from reorganization activities; and our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic acquisitions or investments. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

THREDUP INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
ThredUp Inc. (“ThredUp” or the “Company”) was formed as a corporation in the State of Delaware in January 2009. ThredUp operates a large resale platform that enables consumers to buy and sell primarily secondhand apparel, shoes, and accessories.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information may be condensed or omitted.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to: the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibles, allowance for sales returns, breakage on loyalty points and rewards and gift cards, valuation of inventory, stock-based compensation, lease liabilities, goodwill and acquired intangible assets, and income taxes.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 10-K”).
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative,” to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have an impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This new guidance is designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 for us. We expect the adoption will result in enhanced income tax disclosures.
Revenue from Loyalty Reward Redemption and Expiration
The Company has a customer loyalty program, which allows end-customers to earn and accumulate points with each qualifying purchase. Earned points can be redeemed for loyalty rewards, such as non-cashoutable shopping credit, free shipping, or waived restocking fee, which can be applied to future purchases or returns. Unredeemed points expire after one year from the date the points were earned. Reward coupons expire six months from the date the reward is claimed. Points earned on purchases are a material right, representing a separate performance obligation.
The allocated consideration for the points earned through qualifying purchase transactions is deferred based on the standalone selling price of the points, adjusted for expected breakage in proportion to the pattern of redemption, and recorded within deferred revenue under accrued and other current liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue is recognized for these performance obligations at a point in time when rewards are redeemed by the end customer or expired.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred revenue liability of $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, related to its customer loyalty program, which is included in accrued and other current liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized revenue from loyalty reward redemption of $3.7 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As our loyalty points expire in 12 months and coupon rewards expire in six months, the revenue for the remaining performance obligation is expected to be recognized within a 12-month period.
Gift Cards and Site Credits
The Company sells ThredUp gift cards on its e-commerce website and may also convert seller payables and site credits to ThredUp gift cards beginning after one year at the discretion of the Company. ThredUp gift cards do not expire or lose value over periods of inactivity. The Company accounts for gift cards by recognizing a gift card liability at the time a gift card is delivered to the customer. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $6.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of gift card liability was included in accrued and other current liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from gift cards is generally recognized when the gift cards are redeemed by the customer and amounted to $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company recognizes breakage revenue when it determines that the redemption of gift cards is remote. Breakage revenue was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Breakage revenue was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Company issues site credits for returns, which can be applied toward future charges but may not be converted into cash. Site credits may also be converted to ThredUp gift cards beginning after one year at the discretion of the Company. These credits are recognized as revenue when used. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, of such customer site credits were included in accrued and other current liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized from the redemption of site credits was $13.5 million and $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| | (in thousands) |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 50,112 | | | $ | 56,084 | |
Restricted cash included in Other current assets | | 335 | | | 462 | |
Restricted cash included in Other assets | | 5,035 | | | 4,923 | |
Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows | | $ | 55,482 | | | $ | 61,469 | |
Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value as discussed throughout the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, seller payable and accrued and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values due to their relatively short maturities. Management believes the terms of its long-term variable-rate debt reflect current market conditions for an instrument with similar terms and maturity, and as such, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such values as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Third-party pricing methodologies incorporate bond terms and conditions, current performance data, proprietary pricing models, real-time quotes from contributing dealers, trade prices and other market data. The Company determined that the declines in the fair value of its marketable securities were not driven by credit-related factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any losses on its marketable securities due to credit-related factors.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s money market funds were valued using Level 1 inputs because they were valued using quoted prices in active markets.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to litigation claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for limited and customary indemnification obligations. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made.
11. Income Taxes
The quarterly income tax provision reflects an estimate of the corresponding quarter’s state taxes in the U.S. The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s annual effective tax rate for the years ending December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Since the Company is in a full valuation allowance position due to losses incurred since inception, the provision for taxes consists solely of certain state income taxes.

Overview
ThredUp operates one of the world’s largest online resale platforms for apparel, shoes and accessories. Our mission is to inspire the world to think secondhand first. We believe in a sustainable fashion future and we are proud that our business model creates a positive impact to the benefit of our buyers, sellers, clients, employees, investors and the environment. Our custom-built operating platform consists of distributed processing infrastructure, proprietary software and systems and data science expertise. This platform is powering the rapidly emerging resale economy, one of the fastest growing sectors in retail, according to a GlobalData market survey conducted in January 2023.
ThredUp’s proprietary operating platform is the foundation for our managed marketplace, where we have bridged online and offline technology to make the buying and selling of tens of millions of unique items easy and fun. The marketplaces we have built enable buyers in the U.S. and in Europe to browse and purchase resale items for primarily apparel, shoes and accessories across a wide range of price points. Buyers enjoy shopping value, premium and luxury brands all in one place, at up to 90% off estimated retail price. Sellers enjoy ThredUp because we make it easy to clean out their closets and unlock value for themselves or for the charity of their choice while doing good for the planet. ThredUp’s sellers order a Clean Out Kit, fill it and return it to us using our prepaid label. We take it from there and do the work to make those items available for resale. Aside from Clean Out Kits, ThredUp also sources inventory from a variety of supply channels, such as wholesale supply in Europe.
In addition to our core marketplace, some of the world’s leading brands and retailers are taking advantage of our RaaS offering, which allows them to conveniently offer a scalable closet clean out service and/or resale shop to their customers. We believe RaaS will accelerate the growth of this emerging category and form the backbone of the modern resale experience domestically and internationally.
Recent Business Developments
Workforce Reorganization
In March 2024, we reorganized certain corporate functions to improve efficiencies and reduce overhead costs, ensuring better alignment with the operational needs of the business, resulting in an estimated annualized reduction of operating expenses of $17 million. This and other reorganization activities we may undertake in the future are expected to provide future growth and efficiency benefits; however, the actual results may differ.

Revenue: Total revenue was $79.6 million, representing an increase of 4.8% year-over-year.
Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit totaled $55.3 million, representing an increase of 8.3% year-over-year. Gross margin was 69.5%, an increase of 220 basis points from 67.3% in the comparable quarter last year.

Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin are non-GAAP measures which may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. See below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss.
Active Buyers and Orders: Active Buyers totaled 1.7 million and Orders totaled 1.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, representing an increase of 3.7% and an increase of 9.3%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2023.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business and non-GAAP metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key financial and operating metrics are set forth below for the periods presented.

(1)Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin are non-GAAP measures which may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. See below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss.
Active Buyers
An Active Buyer is a ThredUp buyer who has made at least one purchase in the last twelve months. A ThredUp buyer is a customer who has created an account and purchased in our marketplaces, including through our RaaS clients, and is identified by a unique email address. A single person could have multiple ThredUp accounts and count as multiple Active Buyers. The number of Active Buyers is a key driver of revenue for our marketplaces.
Orders
Orders means the total number of orders placed by buyers across our marketplaces, including through our RaaS clients, in a given period, net of cancellations.
Non-GAAP Financial Metrics
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA Loss Margin
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss means net loss adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, and provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss divided by Total revenue. We use Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, which are non-GAAP measures, to evaluate and assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

Consignment revenue | | $ | 61,225 | | | $ | 46,479 | | | $ | 14,746 | | | 31.7 | % | | | | | | | | |
Product revenue | | 18,363 | | | 29,443 | | | (11,080) | | | (37.6) | % | | | | | | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 79,588 | | | $ | 75,922 | | | $ | 3,666 | | | 4.8 | % | | | | | | | | |
Consignment revenue as a percentage of total revenue | | 76.9 | % | | 61.2 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Product revenue as a percentage of total revenue | | 23.1 | % | | 38.8 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenue increased $3.7 million, or 4.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was driven by $14.7 million or a 31.7% increase in consignment revenue, partially offset by $11.1 million or a 37.6% decrease in product revenue. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to a 3.7% increase in Active Buyers, a 9.3% increase in Orders and a 7.6% increase in the average order value. Consignment revenue increased while product revenue decreased as a percentage of revenue by 15.7% as we transitioned our RaaS partners and introduced our European operations to the consignment model in 2023.
Gross Margin

Cost of consignment revenue | | $ | 10,502 | | | $ | 9,220 | | | $ | 1,282 | | | 13.9 | % | | | | | | | | |
Cost of product revenue | | 13,760 | | | 15,609 | | | (1,849) | | | (11.8) | % | | | | | | | | |
Total cost of revenue | | $ | 24,262 | | | $ | 24,829 | | | $ | (567) | | | (2.3) | % | | | | | | | | |
Gross profit | | $ | 55,326 | | | $ | 51,093 | | | $ | 4,233 | | | 8.3 | % | | | | | | | | |
Gross margin | | 69.5 | % | | 67.3 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Gross margin was 69.5% and 67.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or an increase of 220 basis points.
Consignment revenue is recognized net of seller payouts. Seller payouts related to product revenue are included as a component of cost of product revenue. As such, product revenue has a lower gross margin than consignment revenue.
The increase in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to an increase in consignment gross margin by 260 basis points, primarily driven by lower shipping, labor and packaging costs. We transitioned our RaaS partners and introduced our European operations to the consignment model in 2023, which positively impacted our gross margin. This higher consignment gross margin was offset by a 2,190 basis point decrease in product gross margin, primarily driven by higher inventory costs.
Consignment Gross Margin

Consignment gross margin | | 82.8 | % | | 80.2 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Consignment gross margin was 82.8% and 80.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or an increase of 260 basis points. The increase in consignment gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to a 260 basis point decrease in outbound shipping, labor and packaging costs.
Product Gross Margin
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Change | | | | |

Product gross margin | | 25.1 | % | | 47.0 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Product gross margin was 25.1% and 47.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, or a decrease of 2,190 basis points. The decrease in product gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 was due to higher inventory costs in our European operations, which unfavorably impacted product gross margin by 2,800 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by a 300 basis point decrease in inventory costs in the U.S. and a 290 basis point decrease in shipping and packaging costs.
Operations, Product, and Technology
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Change | | | | |
| | March 31, 2024 | | March 31, 2023 | | Amount | | % | | | | | | | | |

Operations, product, and technology as a percentage of total revenue | | 51.6 | % | | 50.5 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Operations, product, and technology expenses increased $2.7 million, or 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was due to a $2.4 million increase in facilities, technology, and other allocated costs, $1.2 million in severance costs related to our workforce reorganization in March 2024, and a $0.8 million increase in inbound shipping. This increase was partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in personnel-related costs, of which $1.1 million was related to stock-based compensation.

Marketing as a percentage of total revenue | | 16.9 | % | | 22.2 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Marketing expenses decreased $3.5 million, or 20.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was due to a $2.5 million decrease in advertising costs, a $1.3 million decrease in personnel-related costs, of which $1.0 million was related to stock-based compensation expense, and a $0.2 million decrease in facilities, technology and other costs. This decrease was partially offset by $0.5 million in severance costs related to our workforce reorganization in March 2024.
Sales, General and Administrative

Sales, general, and administrative as a percentage of total revenue | | 22.1 | % | | 21.2 | % | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Sales, general, and administrative expenses increased $1.5 million, or 9.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was due to $1.3 million in severance costs related to our workforce reorganization in March 2024, a $0.5 million increase in personnel-related costs, and a $0.1 million increase in facilities, technology and other costs. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in professional services.
Interest Expense

Interest expense | | $ | (677) | | | $ | (77) | | | $ | (600) | | | 779.2 | % | | | | | | | | |
Interest expense increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was due to a $0.6 million of capitalized interest expense recorded in the first quarter of 2023 in conjunction with the build-out of our distribution centers. We did not capitalize any interest in the same period in 2024.
Other Income, Net
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Other income, net | | $ | 845 | | | $ | 476 | | | $ | 369 | | | 77.5 | % | | | | | | | | |
Other income, net increased $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income on our marketable securities due to a higher interest rate environment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Although we generated $1.4 million in cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter of 2024, we had historically generated negative cash flows from operations and have primarily financed our operations through private and public sales of equity securities and debt. As of March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $62.5 million. Additionally, we have a term loan facility (“Term Loan”) under which $22.5 million remained available to be drawn as of March 31, 2024 for the purchase of certain equipment, and we were in full compliance with our debt covenants under the Term Loan as of that date. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our Term Loan.
We expect operating losses to continue in 2024 as we continue to invest in growing our business and our infrastructure. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and borrowings available under the Term Loan. Our primary use of cash includes operating costs such as distribution network spend, product and technology expenses, marketing expenses, personnel expenses and other expenditures necessary to support our operations and our growth. Additionally, our primary capital expenditures are related to the set-up, expansion and/or automation of our distribution network. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months and beyond to meet our short- and long-term capital requirements, and we do not anticipate expanding our distribution network to include additional locations in the near term. Our cash flow forecast is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to, the timing of our increased distribution center automation and expansion plans to support planned revenue growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the potential introduction of new offerings and new RaaS clients, the continuing growth of our marketplaces and overall economic conditions. However, we expect that our capital expenditures will be limited in the remainder of 2024 as we have completed the first phase of our new distribution center in Texas. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and Liquidity—We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available or may be available only by diluting existing stockholders” within the 2023 10-K.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended |
| | March 31, 2024 | | March 31, 2023 |
| | (in thousands) |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 1,393 | | | $ | (4,458) | |
Investing activities | | (5,785) | | | 18,900 | |
Financing activities | | (1,480) | | | (1,192) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | | (115) | | | (540) | |
Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | (5,987) | | | $ | 12,710 | |
Changes in Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to net cash used of $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in cash inflows was primarily due to a $3.2 million decrease in our net loss, partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in non-cash adjustments to net loss, and favorable changes totaling $3.1 million in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a $7.0 million reduction in inventory mainly driven by decreased upfront inventory purchases as we transitioned our RaaS partners and introduced our European operations to the consignment model in 2023 and a $2.4 million increase in accrued and other current and non-current liabilities driven primarily by accrued severance costs related to our workforce reorganization in March 2024. This was partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease in accounts and seller payable primarily due to timing of vendor payments and seller credit cash-outs or redemptions.
Changes in Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $24.7 million as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in cash outflows was primarily due to a $20.1 million decrease in maturities of marketable securities and an $8.7 million increase in purchases of marketable securities, offset by a $4.1 million decrease in purchases of property and equipment.
Changes in Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2023 which was primarily due to $0.6 million of increased taxes paid related to stock-based award activity, offset by $0.3 million of increased proceeds from issuance of stock-based awards.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since the 2023 10-K. For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2023 10-K.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion under Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on new accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include:
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $50.1 million and marketable securities of $12.4 million, consisting primarily of money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency bonds, which carry a degree of interest rate risk. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to the short- to intermediate-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to fluctuations in interest rates.
The Term Loan bears variable interest rates tied to the prime rate, with a floor of 4.75%, and therefore carries interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year and our borrowing amounts on the Term Loan remained constant, the increase or decrease to our annual interest expense would not be material.
Inflation Risk
As of March 31, 2024, inflation remains at elevated levels in the U.S. and overseas where we conduct our business, resulting in rising interest rates and fuel, labor and processing, freight and other costs that have affected our gross margin and operating expenses. We believe these increases have negatively impacted our business, and although difficult to quantify, inflation is potentially having an adverse effect on our customers’ ability to purchase in our marketplaces, resulting in slowing revenue and Order growth. If we are unable to increase our prices to sufficiently offset the rising costs of doing business, our profitability and financial position could be adversely impacted.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We transact business in Europe through Remix in multiple currencies. As a result, our operating results, cash flows and net investment in Remix are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. As of March 31, 2024, our most significant currency exposure was the Bulgarian lev. We manage our foreign currency exchange rate risks through natural hedges including foreign currency revenue and costs matching, as well as foreign currency assets offsetting liabilities. We have not entered into any hedging arrangements with respect to foreign currency risk, but we may do so in the future if our exposure to foreign currency becomes more significant.
Assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate during the period in which the transactions occurred. The related translation adjustments were reflected as an unfavorable foreign currency translation adjustment of $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
A hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have had a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations during any of the periods presented.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2024. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under the Exchange Act, means controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designated and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any material pending legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2024 (our “Fiscal 2023 10-K”) to include the following risk factors, which should be read in conjunction with the other risk factors presented in our Fiscal 2023 10-K.
Our ability to incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning into our business operations successfully may affect our reputation and results of operations.
We use artificial intelligence (“AI”), and machine learning (“ML”) technologies in our business to, among other things, optimize our product presentation and personalize our website experience through advanced search and product recommendations. Our strategic plans and initiatives also include investments in information technology, data science and AI and ML. We may expand our use of AI and ML into other areas of our business including general administrative functions. However, there can be no assurance that we will realize the desired or anticipated benefits from AI and ML. Our investments in AI and ML solutions and features may negatively impact our cost of revenue and gross margins until and unless we are able to increase revenue enough to offset these investments. We may also fail to properly implement or market our AI solutions and features.
In addition, issues relating to our and our vendors’ use of new and evolving technologies such as AI and ML may cause us to experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, legal liability and new or enhanced governmental or regulatory scrutiny, and to incur additional costs to resolve such issues. For example, data sets used by AI and ML may be over-broad or insufficient, can include unexpected biases and may also be subject to legal risks and licensing costs. Our vendors may incorporate artificial intelligence tools into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of artificial intelligence tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to the use and governance of artificial intelligence tools. AI algorithms or training methodologies may have flaws and be prone to cybersecurity incidents or service interruptions. Perceived or actual technical, legal, compliance, privacy, security, ethical or other issues relating to the use of AI and ML could undermine the decisions, predictions or analysis that such applications produce and create additional risks, such as risks of cybersecurity incidents or loss of intellectual property and other confidential information, all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Developing, testing and deploying AI systems may also increase our operating expenses due to the nature of the computing costs involved in such systems. Further, we may be unable to quickly and successfully adapt to rapid change resulting from advancements in AI and similar technology, or our competitors may have more success implementing and utilizing such technology than we do. Any of these risks could have an adverse effect on our reputation and results of operations.
The use of AI and ML involves significant technical complexity and requires specialized expertise, and our future success depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees, software engineers and other employees with the technical skills in AI, ML and advanced algorithms. Competition for highly skilled employees is intense, particularly in the fields of AI and data science. We may be unable to attract or retain such highly skilled personnel who are critical to our success, which could hinder our ability to keep pace with innovation and technological changes in our industry or result in harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our reorganization activities may not lead to expected savings or benefits and may be disruptive to our operations and harm our business.
We have in the past implemented internal reorganizations designed to reduce our cost structure to better align the operational needs of the business to current economic conditions. In March 2024, we reorganized certain functions within our business to improve efficiencies and reduce overhead costs. We may have additional workforce reorganization initiatives in the future to improve our operations, respond to changes in business conditions and markets and to streamline certain key functions to reduce costs. We may not realize expected savings or benefits from reorganization activities, incur additional charges and experience loss of key personnel, disruptions in our operations, and difficulties in the timely delivery of products. These factors could negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
