Executing on key growth drivers to further improve revenue performance

Strong gross margin result in a highly competitive environment

SALT LAKE CITY, April 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights

•	Total net revenue was $381 million, a decrease of 29% year over year
•	Gross profit of $90 million, or 23.5% of total net revenue
•	Net loss of $10 million
•	Diluted net loss per share of $0.23; Adjusted diluted net loss per share (non-GAAP) of $0.10
•	Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of $3 million, which represents 0.9% of net revenue
•	Cash and cash equivalents totaled $375 million at the end of the first quarter

“The team delivered positive adjusted EBITDA for the twelfth consecutive quarter,” said Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson. “I am pleased with their efforts to accomplish this in a challenging environment. Our revenue trend improved each month during the quarter, with a more meaningful improvement in late Q1. Importantly, our home-only revenue trend slightly improved in Q1 after stabilizing over the prior two quarters. We continued to navigate a highly competitive landscape to deliver healthy gross margins. While the economic and consumer environment remains uncertain, our strong cash position allows us to focus on executing our plans for the year and continue to deploy new strategies to drive growth.”

“This month, we launched the next phase of our marketing campaign to build on our brand’s association with home,” continued Johnson. “We are highlighting our smart value brand pillar of ‘quality and style for less’ – a key differentiator for Overstock in the large and fragmented furniture and home furnishings market. I look forward to providing a full update on our first quarter 2023 performance during our earnings call.”

Supplemental Operational Data

We measure our business using operational metrics, in addition to the financial metrics shown above and the non-GAAP financial measures explained below. We believe these metrics provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and provide key performance indicators to track our progress. These indicators include changes in customer order patterns and the mix of products purchased by our customers.

Active customers represent the total number of unique customers who have made at least one purchase during the prior twelve-month period. This metric captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase during the prior twelve-month period.

LTM net revenue per active customer represents total net revenue in a twelve-month period divided by the total number of active customers for the same twelve-month period.

Orders delivered represents the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and in those circumstances, we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.

Average order value is defined as total net revenue in any given period divided by the total number of orders delivered in that period.

Orders per active customer is defined as orders delivered in a twelve-month period divided by active customers for the same twelve-month period.

The following table provides our key operating metrics:

Orders per active customer		1.57			1.67

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) less the income or losses recognized from our equity method securities, net of related tax. We believe that this adjustment to our net income (loss) before calculating per share amounts for the current period presented provides a useful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. We believe the exclusion of certain benefits and expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities reduced by expenditures for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
