NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PFSweb, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders' equity, and statements of cash flows for the periods indicated. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K and as amended by Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022. We refer to PFSweb, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries collectively as “PFSweb,” “PFS,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results of our operations for interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain revenues, costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions.

Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Based on a critical assessment of accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and provide a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill

Long-lived assets include property and equipment, goodwill and certain other assets. We make judgments and estimates in conjunction with the carrying value of these assets, including amounts to be capitalized, depreciation methods and useful lives. Additionally, we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We review goodwill for impairment at least annually, on October 1. We record impairment losses in the period in which we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. This may require us to make judgments regarding long-term forecasts of our future revenues and costs related to the assets subject to review.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we have utilized the discrete effective tax rate method, as allowed by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-270-30-18, “Income Taxes—Interim Reporting,” to calculate the interim income tax provision. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. The discrete method treats the year to date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the annual effective tax rate method as (i) the estimated annual effective tax rate method is not reliable due to the high degree of uncertainty in estimating annual pretax earnings by certain jurisdictions and (ii) our ongoing assessment that the recoverability of our deferred tax assets is not likely in certain jurisdictions.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASC 326 "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments," ("ASC 326") using the prospective transition approach. This standard requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASC 326 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may be subject to claims in the ordinary course of business, including claims of alleged infringement by the Company or its subsidiaries of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties as well as confidentiality and data privacy matters. The Company is generally required to indemnify its service fee clients against any third party claims asserted against such clients alleging (i) infringement by the Company of the patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of third parties and (ii) a breach of confidentiality and/or data privacy. While we are unable to determine the ultimate outcome of any liabilities resulting from these claims, we do not believe the resolution of any particular matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Clients and Customers

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Costs to fulfill contract assets decreased $0.8 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, primarily due to amortization and recognition of costs. Costs to fulfill contract assets relate to deferred costs, which are included within other current assets and/or other assets, and software development costs, which are included within property and equipment, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contract liabilities were $7.5 million at December 31, 2022, of which $1.1 million were amortized to revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were not materially impacted by any other factors.

Contract balances consist of the following (in thousands):


	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Contract Assets
Costs to fulfill	$	3,027	$	3,829
Total contract assets	$	3,027	$	3,829
Contract Liabilities
Accrued contract liabilities	$	2,681	$	2,757
Deferred revenue	4,025		4,776
Total contract liabilities	$	6,706	$	7,533

Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price of firm orders for which work has not yet been performed. The amount reported for remaining performance obligations does not include 1) contracts that are less than one year in duration, 2) contracts for which we recognize revenue based on the right to invoice for services performed, or 3) variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Much of our revenue qualifies for one of these exemptions. As of March 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration of one year or more was $19.7 million. We expect to recognize revenue on approximately 42% of the remaining performance obligations in 2023, 33% in 2024, and the remaining recognized thereafter.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The following table presents our revenues, excluding sales and usage-based taxes, disaggregated by timing of revenue recognition (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Revenues:
Over time	$	69,264	$	63,290
Point-in-time	—		3,197
Total revenues	$	69,264	$	66,487

Point-in-time revenues consist of product revenue which was dependent on the Ricoh distributor agreement. Effective March 2022, as part of Ricoh's continued restructuring of its operations, the Ricoh distributor agreement was terminated and as a result, our product revenue model with Ricoh was discontinued.

The following table presents our revenues, excluding sales and usage-based taxes, disaggregated by region (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Revenues by region:
United States	$	57,805	$	55,940
Canada	1,284		1,232
Europe	10,175		9,315
Total revenues	$	69,264	$	66,487

5. Share Repurchase Program

During March 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock during a period of up to two years. The share repurchase program does not require the Company to repurchase shares and can be terminated at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 96,097 shares of its common stock in the open market at an average price of $4.10 per share for an aggregate amount of $0.4 million pursuant to the share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had remaining authorization under the share repurchase program to purchase up to 903,903 shares. The cost of repurchased shares and direct costs are recorded as Treasury Stock in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In April 2023, the Company purchased an additional 138,466 shares of its common stock in the open market for an aggregate amount of $0.6 million pursuant to the share repurchase program.

6. Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the reporting period. In periods when we recognize a net loss from continuing operations, we exclude the impact of outstanding common stock equivalents from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022 we had outstanding common stock equivalents of approximately 1.8 million and 1.5 million, respectively, that have been excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would have been antidilutive.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

In January 2023, the Company completed its annual grant of restricted stock units and performance-based units to certain executives and employees under the Company’s Stock and Incentive Plans, as amended and restated, (the "Employee Plans") that allow them to earn up to approximately 620,700 shares of common stock that will vest, subject to meeting certain criteria, over a period of up to three years. Stock-based compensation expense was $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These expenses were included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid dividend equivalents of $3.5 million related to a special dividend equivalent declared and accrued during the fourth quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $3.8 million remaining accrued for the dividend equivalents payable to holders of eligible outstanding awards under the Employee Plans, of which $3.4 million and $0.4 million are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Information

This 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 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements that involve expectations, plans or intentions (such as those relating to future business, future results of operations or financial condition, new or planned features or services, or management strategies). You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” “future,” “target,” “seek,” “continue” and other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may include assumptions as to how we may perform in the future. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee these expectations will actually be achieved. In addition, some forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, those discussed in “Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors” of our original filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 14, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), as well as in our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other information appearing elsewhere in the Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC, including any quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any of our forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect actual results or future events or circumstances. There may be additional risks we do not currently view as material or that are not presently known or that are beyond our ability to control or predict. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Key Events and Trends

In April 2023, the Company purchased an additional 138,466 shares of its common stock in the open market for an aggregate amount of $0.6 million pursuant to the share repurchase program.

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $2.8 million compared with the corresponding period in 2022. Service fee revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $2.1 million compared to the corresponding period in 2022 from new client fulfillment activity and expansion of existing client relationships, partially offset by the impact of a decline in call center activity and reduced technology related services.

Product revenue, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2023, decreased by $3.2 million, compared with the corresponding period in 2022. Product revenue was eliminated in March 2022 after a prior client, Ricoh, restructured its operations and, as a result, our product revenue model with this client was discontinued.

Pass-through revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by $3.9 million compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The increase is primarily due to new client activity and expansion of existing client freight activity, the primary component of pass-through revenue.

Gross margin increased by 2.8% to 16.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 14.0% in the same period of the prior year. The increased gross margin is due to an increase of our service fee margin of 4.5% to 24.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 19.9% in the corresponding period in 2022, in part due to productivity enhancements and certain pricing increases put into place throughout 2022. We continue to implement actions to offset increasing labor costs including leveraging our multi-node network and distributing work to our centers with more available labor and/or lower costs and working together with our clients to reduce costs. These benefits were partially offset by reduced levels of higher margin technology related service fees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to reduced professional fees, primarily resulting from incremental costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2022 relating to the Company's prior LiveArea business unit divestiture and regaining SEC filing compliance, as well as reductions in corporate overhead costs, primarily personnel and occupancy expenses.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 loss before income taxes was $0.8 million and income tax expense was $0.6 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (76.9)%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to deferred U.S. federal tax on discrete items.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, loss before income taxes was $7.1 million and income tax expense was $0.3 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (4.4)%. The effective tax rate varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to state and foreign tax expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2023, we have $39.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, no bank debt outstanding, $0.1 million of current obligations on finance leases and $9.1 million of current obligations on operating leases. We currently believe our cash position will satisfy our known operating cash needs, working capital and capital expenditure requirements, debt and lease obligations, loans to our subsidiaries, if needed, remaining dividend equivalent payables and potential share repurchases for at least the next twelve months. However, our cash position could be impacted by the overall economic environment and its impact on our business activity and the increasing labor costs as a result of labor market shortages or inflation.

To further strengthen our liquidity position, we are evaluating entering into an asset-based lending facility during 2023. We continue to evaluate our liquidity options in light of various financing alternatives potentially available including the sale of equity, utilizing capital or operating leases, or entering into credit facility or debt agreements. No assurances can be given we will be successful in obtaining any additional financing or the terms thereof.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, net cash provided by operations was $16.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively. The increase in operating cash flow in 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022, was primarily due to a decrease in net loss, excluding non-cash expenses, and changes in working capital, primarily related to the amount and timing of client revenue billings and collections and vendor purchasing and payment activity, all of which fluctuated during our seasonal peak periods. Additionally, cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was positively impacted by the receipt of tax refunds related to prior period overpayments of estimated income taxes.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities include capital expenditures of $1.0 million and $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, exclusive of property and equipment acquired under debt and finance lease financing, which consisted primarily of capitalized software costs and equipment purchases. Capital expenditures have historically consisted of additions to upgrade our management information systems, development of customized technology solutions to support and integrate with our service fee clients and general expansion and upgrades to our facilities, both domestic and foreign. We expect to incur capital expenditures to support new facilities, contracts and anticipated future growth opportunities. Based on our current client business activity and our targeted growth plans, we anticipate our total investment in additions and upgrades to facilities and information technology solutions and services for the upcoming twelve months, including costs to implement new clients, will be approximately $8.0 million to $10.0 million, although additional capital expenditures may be necessary to support the infrastructure requirements of new clients. To maintain our current operating cash position, a portion of these expenditures may be financed.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, cash used in financing activities was $4.5 million primarily related to dividend equivalents paid, withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees and common stock share repurchases. Cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily driven by withholding taxes paid on behalf of employees.

Working Capital

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our working capital decreased to $41.7 million compared to $42.1 million at December 31, 2022, which was primarily a result of $1.0 million of capital expenditures and $0.7 million of tax withholding on shares issued under stock-based compensation awards in the three months ended March 31, 2023, partially offset by income generated by operations, excluding non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense.

Debt and Finance Lease Obligations

We have various agreements that provide for leasing or financing transactions of equipment and other assets and will continue to enter into such arrangements as needed to finance the purchasing or leasing of certain equipment or other assets. Borrowings under these agreements, which generally have terms of three to five years, are generally secured by the related equipment, and in certain cases, by a Company guarantee.

Other than our finance and operating lease commitments, we do not have any other material financial commitments, although future client contracts may require capital expenditures and lease commitments to support the services provided to such clients.
