Beyond, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Results with Sequential Material Improvements in Key Operating Metrics, Driving Towards our Goal of Profitability

— 50% improvement in Net Loss and 43% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year, driven by exceeding our gross margin expansion and fixed cost reduction goals in our core business —

— Continued ramp of our Overstock brand, SKU/vendor refinement, pricing and discounting discipline within Bed Bath & Beyond banner, BuyBuyBaby acquisition and completion of material stake in Kirkland's Home provides a clear path to our goal of growth and profitability —

MURRAY, Utah, Feb. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BYON), owner of Bed Bath & Beyond and Overstock, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of Beyond, commented, "We are exceeding our previously announced targets of margin improvement and fixed cost reductions, improved site experience, and the elimination of poor performing SKUs/vendors, which are all leading to our primary goal of making money. We will continue to make calibrated decisions to reset the base of the company and build a profitable foundation."

Lemonis added, "We are excited by the progress we have made since November 1^st and are further encouraged by the sequential improvements that have continued through February. While there is still much work to do, we will continue to make the necessary difficult decisions, leverage technology innovation and utilize our resources and partnerships to create a solid foundation that we believe will deliver profitability and growth."

Adrianne Lee, Chief Administrative and Financial Officer, commented, "Growing revenue is critical to our business, but it cannot come at the detriment of generating cash flow and delivering profitability. It's vital for the company to re-establish the discipline we expect of profitable commerce, and the sequential improvement in gross margin and reduced fixed costs delivered in the fourth quarter was encouraging."

Lee further added, "Fourth quarter Net loss was driven by almost $50 million of non-cash charges, primarily from non-core business activities, and $6 million of non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA loss of $28 million was a 43% improvement year-over year driven by a 380 basis point gross margin expansion, and we ended the year with a healthy cash and restricted cash balance of $186 million."

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.

Last twelve months (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:

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 net 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 and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity position, 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 net loss per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (net 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 (net 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 net income (net 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.
