1. Organization
Purple Innovation, Inc.’s mission is to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions.
Purple Innovation, Inc. collectively with its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Purple Inc.”) is an omni-channel Company that began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings. The Company designs and manufactures a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its e-commerce online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of Global Partnership Acquisition Corp (“GPAC”). On February 2, 2018, the Company consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”). At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company became the sole managing member of Purple LLC, and GPAC was renamed Purple Innovation, Inc.
As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Purple Inc., its controlled subsidiary Purple LLC, and Purple LLC’s wholly owned subsidiary
Advanced Comfort Technologies, Inc., dba Intellibed (“Intellibed”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. As of June 30, 2024, Purple Inc. held
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or for any other interim period or other future year.
Variable Interest Entities
Purple LLC is a variable interest
entity. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Purple LLC as it is the sole managing member and has the power to
direct the activities most significant to Purple LLC’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive
benefits that are potentially significant. At June 30, 2024, Purple Inc. had a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to establish accounting policies and to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclose contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. The Company regularly makes estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimates that affect revenue recognition, accounts receivable and the allowance for credit losses, valuation of inventories, sales returns, warranty returns, fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, impairment reviews of long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, warrant liabilities, stock based compensation, the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies, estimates of current and deferred income taxes, deferred income tax valuation allowances, and amounts associated with the Company’s tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”). Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation with no effect on previously reported net (loss) income, cash flows or stockholders’ equity. Accrued compensation, previously included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet within other current liabilities, is now presented separately.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Enhanced Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities, including those that have a single reportable segment, to provide enhanced disclosures about significant expenses. This ASU requires disclosure to include significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently analyzing the impact this ASU will have on its disclosures.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU amends existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosures for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and allows for early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this update will have on its income tax disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

4. Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is 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, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (i.e., quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.
The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt arrangement is based on Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs approximated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and the contractual terms of debt instruments.
The warrant liabilities (see Note 11 — Warrant Liabilities for more information) are Level 3 instruments and use internal models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which require determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Such inputs include risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility. These Level 3 liabilities generally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities generally increase (decrease) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease).

5. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company markets and sells its products through e-commerce online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Purple showrooms, and third-party online retailers. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which involves transferring the promised products to the customer, subject to shipping terms.
Disaggregated Revenue
The Company classifies revenue into two sales categories: direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) and wholesale. The DTC category is comprised of the Company’s e-commerce channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase online and through our contact center, and the Purple showrooms channel that sells directly to consumers who purchase at a showroom location. The wholesale channel includes all product sales to our retail brick and mortar wholesale partners where consumers make purchases at their retail locations or through their online channels. The Company classifies products into two major types: sleep products and other. Sleep products include mattresses, platforms, adjustable bases, mattress protectors, pillows and sheets. Other products include cushions and various other products.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement granted a security interest to the Lenders in substantially all of the assets (subject to certain limited exceptions) of the Loan Parties to secure the Loan Parties’ loans and other obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including a security interest in the intellectual property owned by the Loan Parties.
The Loan Parties (other than Purple LLC) provided an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders and contains representations, warranties and certain covenants of the Loan Parties. While any amounts are outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties are subject to a number of affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants. The Loan Parties are also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on their capital stock, subject to limited exceptions. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Warranty Liabilities
The Company provides a limited warranty on most of the products it sells. The estimated warranty costs associated with products sold through DTC channels are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenues. The estimated warranty return costs associated with products sold through the wholesale channel are recorded at the time of sale and included as an offset to net revenues. Estimates for warranty costs are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred, and are adjusted for any current or expected trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. The Company regularly assesses and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs. The Company classifies estimated warranty costs expected to be paid beyond a year as a long-term liability.
Chief Executive Officer Cash Bonus Award
On January 26, 2024, the
Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to the Chief Executive Officer’s employment
agreement. Under the amendment, the Company agreed that, among other things, the Chief Executive Officer will be eligible to earn a cash
payment of up to $
Senior Leadership Team Special Recognition Bonus
On
January 26, 2024, the Board unanimously approved a special recognition bonus payment to certain members of the Company’s senior
leadership team. Each participant is eligible to earn a special recognition bonus payment equal to 15 months of their regular salary.
The special recognition bonus payment is payable, subject to the employee’s continued employment with the Company,
Performance Cash Long-Term Incentive Award
On June 20, 2024, the Board unanimously approved a performance cash long-term incentive award to those employees eligible to participate in the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan. The incentive award payment is based on a performance goal of the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s Class A common stock on NASDAQ on March 31, 2027. The Company determined the provisions surrounding the performance cash long-term incentive award require it to be accounted for as a liability at fair value at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company recorded a de minimis compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to this future award payment.

Rights of Securities Holders
On January 23, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Warrants, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with holders of the Warrants (the “Holders”), providing for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended of the Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and Class A common stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions. The Registration Rights agreement entitles the Holders to demand registration of the Registrable Securities and to piggyback on the registration of securities by the Company and other Company securityholders. The Company will be responsible for the payment of the Holders’ expenses in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent or broker fees or similar discounts, commissions or fees relating to the sale of certain Registrable Securities. The Registration Rights Agreement provided further that the Company was required to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement to register the resale of the Registrable Securities. The registration statement filed by the Company on March 21, 2024 registering the Registrable Securities became effective on June 4, 2024.
NOL Rights Plan
On June 27, 2024, the Board approved the adoption of a limited-duration

NOL Protective Charter Amendment
In connection with the NOL Rights Plan, the Board adopted, and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “NOL Protective Charter Amendment”) that adds an additional layer of protection of the Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding certain transfers of common stock that could result in an ownership change under Code Section 382. The NOL Protective Charter Amendment is not yet effective and will be submitted for stockholder approval at the Company’s special meeting of the stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).

Non-Income Related Taxes
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., No.17-494, reversed a longstanding precedent that remote sellers are not required to collect state and local sales taxes. The Company cannot predict the effect of these and other attempts to impose sales, income or other taxes on e-commerce. The Company currently collects and reports on sales tax in all states in which it does business. However, the application of existing, new or revised taxes on the Company’s business, in particular, sales taxes, value-added tax and similar taxes would likely increase the cost of doing business online and decrease the attractiveness of selling products over the internet. The application of these taxes on the Company’s business could also create significant increases in internal costs necessary to capture data and collect and remit taxes. There have been, and will continue to be, substantial ongoing costs associated with complying with the various indirect tax requirements in the numerous markets in which the Company conducts or will conduct business.
Legal Proceedings
On December 16, 2022, Purple’s
founders filed a complaint against Purple Inc. in the Fourth Judicial District Court in the State of Utah. In that suit, the plaintiffs
alleged that they each entered into employment agreements with Purple LLC in February 2018. The plaintiffs contended that certain corporate
transactions reduced their “ownership interest and voting power in Purple” and that, as a result, they should have continued
to be paid a salary when they retired from Purple LLC. The plaintiffs calculated that they were each owed “no less than $
On April 3, 2023, Purple’s
founders filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Delaware Court of Chancery. The complaint alleges that Purple LLC breached the limited
liability company agreement of Purple LLC by failing to pay the full amount of tax distributions owed under the agreement. The plaintiffs
seek damages of approximately $
On January 17, 2024, two customers filed a punitive class action lawsuit (the “Class Action Lawsuit”) against Purple LLC in California Superior Court in the County of San Francisco alleging unlawful marketing and pricing practices, fraud and unjust enrichment. The suit seeks damages and other relief on behalf of all persons who purchased Purple LLC products during the applicable statutory periods in California. On February 22, 2024, Purple LLC removed the case to the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Purple LLC denies all allegations and intends to vigorously defend against these claims.
On April 16, 2024, Purple’s
founders, in their capacity as a former landlord of Purple LLC, brought a lawsuit against Purple LLC, as lessee, for amounts allegedly
owed under a real estate lease which the parties terminated effective September 30, 2023. In the suit, the plaintiffs allege approximately

The Company is from time to time involved in various other claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business.

Purple Founder Entities
Purple
LLC began leasing its Alpine facility from entities controlled by Purple’s founders in 2010. On September 3, 2021, in accordance
with the terms of that original lease, Purple LLC gave notice that it intended to exercise its right to an early termination of the lease
to occur on September 30, 2022. On July 20, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Alpine facility lease agreement that rescinded
the Company’s previous notice of termination and extended the lease term to remain in effect until September 30, 2023. The Company
vacated the Alpine facility and returned the property back to its owner on September 30, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the lease
agreement and notice of termination. In conjunction with leasing the Alpine facility, Purple LLC incurred rent expense of $

NOL Rights Plan
On June 27, 2024, the Board
adopted, and the Company entered into the NOL Rights Plan, which is designed to preserve approximately $
The NOL Rights Plan provides
for a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each share of common stock outstanding on July 26, 2024.
Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series C Preferred Share for a purchase price
of $
Unless the Board determines to effect an exchange (as discussed below), each Right will become exercisable on the “Distribution Time”, which is the earlier to occur of (i) the tenth day following a public announcement, or the public disclosure of facts indicating, that a Person has become an Acquiring Person or (ii) the tenth business day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in a Person becoming an Acquiring Person. After the Distribution Time, any Rights held by an Acquiring Person will be void and will not be exercisable. As a result, any Acquiring Person will be subject to significant dilution upon the occurrence of the Distribution Time. At any time after a Person becomes an Acquiring Person, but before such Acquiring Person holds more than 50% of the common stock, the Board, in its sole discretion, may instead extinguish the Rights by exchanging one share of Class A common stock for each Right, other than Rights held by the Acquiring Person.
The Rights will expire on the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on the date of the Special Meeting if a majority of the Company’s stockholders voting do not ratify the NOL Rights Plan, (ii) the close of business on June 30, 2025; (iii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed (as discussed below) or exchanged by the Company; (iv) the repeal of Code Section 382, if the Board determines that this Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of the Current NOLs; or (v) the beginning of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Current NOLs may be carried forward. At any time prior to the expiration of the NOL Rights Plan, the Company may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.0001 per Right (subject to adjustment and payable in cash, Class A common stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the Board). Immediately upon the action of the Board authorizing any redemption or at a later time as the Board may establish for the effectiveness of the redemption, the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price.
The initial issuance of the Rights as a dividend will have no tax, financial accounting or reporting impact. The fair value of the Rights will be nominal since the Rights are not exercisable when issued and no value is attributable to them. Additionally, the Rights do not meet the definition of a liability under GAAP and will therefore not be accounted for as a long-term obligation. Accordingly, unless the Rights become exercisable upon the occurred of the Distribution Time as discussed above, the NOL Rights Plan and the Rights issued thereunder have no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The NOL Rights Plan is subject to stockholder ratification at the Special Meeting. If the NOL Rights Plan is not ratified by the stockholders at the Special Meeting, the NOL Rights Plan will be terminated and the Rights will expire.

NOL Protective Charter Amendment
Concurrently with the adoption of NOL Rights Plan, on June 27, 2024, the Board adopted, and recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve at the Special Meeting, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection of the Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of common stock that results in any Person holding 4.9% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company (or, in the case of a Person already holding more than 4.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, one-half of one percentage point of the outstanding common stock of the Company above their current ownership percentage).
Any acquisition of common stock in violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment will be void as of the date it is attempted. Upon the Company’s written demand, the purported acquiring stockholder must transfer the excess acquired common stock to the Company’s transfer agent (along with any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such excess acquired common stock). The Company’s transfer agent is then required to sell such excess acquired common stock in an arm’s-length transaction (or series of transactions) that would not constitute a violation under the NOL Protective Charter Amendment. The net proceeds of the sale together with any other distributions with respect to such excess acquired common stock received by the Company’s transfer agent, after deduction of all costs incurred by the transfer agent, will be transferred first to the purported transferee in an amount, if any, up to the cost (or in the case of gift, inheritance or similar transfer, the fair market value of the excess securities on the date of the prohibited transfer) incurred by the purported transferee to acquire such excess securities, and the balance of the proceeds, if any, will be transferred to a charitable beneficiary. Further, the Company may hold any stockholder liable, to the fullest extent of the law, for any intentional violation of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment.
The NOL Charter Amendment will be submitted for stockholder approval at the Special Meeting. The NOL Protective Charter Amendment will not become effective unless and until it is approved by stockholders at the Special Meeting.

The Company’s sole material asset is Purple LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of certain state and local income taxes. Purple LLC’s net taxable income and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and are included in the members’ tax returns, even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. While the Company consolidates Purple LLC for financial reporting purposes, the Company will be taxed on its share of earnings of Purple LLC not attributed to the noncontrolling interest holders, which will continue to bear their share of income tax on its allocable earnings of Purple LLC. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under GAAP.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period used in the basic net income (loss) computation plus the effect of common stock equivalents that are dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to provide a review of the operating results and financial condition of Purple Innovation, Inc. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements.”
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that represent our current expectations and beliefs. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “might,” the negative of these words and other similar words.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date thereof. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change throughout the year, and any forward-looking statements based upon these projections or expectations may change prior to the end of the next quarter or year. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses (including the discussion under the heading “Outlook for Growth”), and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.
We caution and advise readers that these statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those included in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2024. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview of Our Business
Our mission is to help people feel and live better through innovative comfort solutions.
We are an omni-channel company that began as a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings. We design and manufacture a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, frames, sheets, duvets, duvet covers, and other products. Our products are the result of over 30 years of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary Hyper-Elastic Polymer gel technology underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our offerings from other competitors’ products. We sell our products via our DTC channels, including Purple.com, online marketplaces (e.g., Amazon), our customer contact center, Purple showrooms and through wholesale retailers.
24
Organization
Our business consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. At June 30, 2024, Purple Inc. had a 99.8% economic interest in Purple LLC while Class B unit holders had the remaining 0.2%.
Recent Developments in Our Business
Operational Developments
In May 2023, we launched our new Premium and Luxe product lineups. This launch was supported by enhancements to our in-store presence and refinements to our marketing programs and brand messaging. The response to our new products and enhanced brand positioning has been extremely positive. As consumer spending habits have moved away from the COVID era e-commerce spike to brick and mortar buying, we have grown the number of Purple showrooms to 60 as of June 30, 2024. We have also focused on growing our placements with wholesale partners and improving wholesale door productivity. Improving the sales productivity of both our wholesale partners and existing showrooms remains a significant priority and critical component of our strategy to respond to shifting demand patterns. In addition, we are diligently working to improve e-commerce conversion by determining ways to best optimize traffic on our website. Furthermore, we are concentrating efforts on driving gross margin improvement through various methods such as selective pricing actions, continued mix shift towards our Premium and Luxe collections, and manufacturing and supply chain optimization. With the introduction of our new product lineups, we initiated a new marketing campaign which included enhanced brand positioning and increased media investment at the top of the acquisition funnel. During the second quarter of 2024, we began to realize efficiencies with our media investments by targeting specific segments most likely to purchase Purple and by focusing more effort on those consumers currently in the market for a sleep product. We also improved our gross margin in the second quarter of 2024 by driving cost savings through supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. We have delivered direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and our outbound freight costs are reflecting cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. We believe we have set the right course for the next stage of growth for the Company.
Debt Financing
On January 23, 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which amended and restated the Term Loan Agreement, with the Lenders. The Lenders agreed to assume our obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and agreed to refinance our existing obligations. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we borrowed $61.0 million from the Lenders that was used to repay the $25.0 million of Term Loans outstanding, the $5.0 million of ABL Loans outstanding, loan fees, premiums and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction, and provided net proceeds to us (after payments of outstanding debt, unpaid accrued interest, and expenses) equal to approximately $27.0 million. Interest on the new loan is payable each month and the principal outstanding matures and is due on December 31, 2026. We may elect for interest to be capitalized and added to the principal amount. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to (i) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10%, with a floor of 3.5% per annum, plus (ii) 8.25% per annum (or, if Purple LLC elects to pay interest in kind to reduce its cash obligations, 10.25% per annum). Any prepayments on or after August 7, 2024 but before August 7, 2025 are subject to a prepayment penalty of 1.25%, and any prepayments on or after August 7, 2025 are subject to a prepayment penalty of 2.50%. We may request an additional term loan from the Lenders in an aggregate amount not to exceed $19.0 million on terms requested by us to the extent agreed to by the Lenders at their discretion. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also removed restrictions and requirements typically associated with an asset-based loan. In connection with our execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all obligations under the 2023 Credit Agreements were paid in full and the 2023 Agreements were terminated.
25
Warrants
In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we issued Warrants to the Lenders to purchase 20.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. Each Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Warrants will expire on the 10-year anniversary of issuance, or earlier upon redemption. A holder of the Warrants will not have the right to exercise them, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. The Warrants contain certain provisions that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore were recorded as liabilities. The liability for these Warrants was recorded at a fair value of $19.6 million on the date of issuance with the offset included in debt issuance costs. This liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a loss of $4.9 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to an increase in the fair value of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders, providing for the registration of Registrable Securities, subject to customary terms and conditions. We are responsible for the payment of the Holders’ expenses in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities by the Holders, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent or broker fees or similar discounts, commissions or fees relating to the sale of certain Registrable Securities. The registration statement filed by the Company on March 21, 2024 to register the Registrable Securities became effective on June 4, 2024.
Stockholder Rights Agreement
On June 27, 2024, our Board approved the adoption of the NOL Rights Plan with a stated expiration date of June 30, 2025. The Board approved the NOL Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by attempting to safeguard our ability to use Current NOLs of approximately $238 million to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations from becoming substantially limited by future ownership of our Common Stock. Upon adopting the NOL Rights Plan, 0.3 million shares of our authorized shares of preferred stock were designated as Series C Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 26, 2024. Upon a stockholder acquiring greater than a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage), the Rights will become exercisable to significantly dilute any stockholder who violates the ownership limitations of the NOL Rights Plan.
NOL Protective Charter Amendment
In connection with the NOL Rights Plan, the Board adopted, and recommended that our stockholders approve, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection to our Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of Common Stock that results in a stockholder acquiring beyond a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has current beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage). The NOL Rights Plan and the NOL Protective Charter Amendment will be submitted for stockholder approval at the Special Meeting.
Executive Summary – Results of Operations
Net revenues increased 2.0% to $120.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $117.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our revenue growth was primarily due to a $3.6 million, or 7.2%, increase in wholesale channel net revenues driven primarily by the continued positive response of our wholesale partners and strong demand for our new product lineups we launched in 2023. Within our DTC channel, e-commerce net revenues decreased $2.9 million, or 5.7%, while Purple showroom net revenues increased $1.7 million, or 10.6%. The decrease in e-commerce net revenues reflected the ongoing impact of deteriorating industry trends that led to softness for most big-ticket home related discretionary items and delays in our efforts to improve personalization and streamline the website. The growth in Purple showroom net revenues was driven by an increase in average selling prices from both strategic price adjustments and a sizeable mix shift into our higher priced Luxe Products. We also expanded the number of retail locations from 56 at the end of the prior year second quarter to 60 at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
26
Gross profit increased 38.0% to $48.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $35.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The gross profit percentage in 2024 was 40.7% as compared to 30.1% in 2023. These increases reflected improved production efficiency due primarily to supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. We realized direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts to become less dependent on sole-sourced materials, generated strong efficiency gains in our plants, improved scrap and yield results through continuous improvements, and our scheduled delivery program for outbound freight is giving us both cost improvements and improved delivery reliability. The gross profit percentage in 2023 was adversely impacted by the transition to our new product lineup in the second quarter of 2023.
Operating expenses decreased 16.2% to $63.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $75.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease primarily reflected a $5.0 million decrease in marketing and sales costs related to lower advertising spend coupled with an $8.3 million reduction in general and administrative expense. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to the prior year comparative quarter including non-recurring legal and professional costs incurred by the Board’s special committee.
Other income totaled $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to other expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Other income in 2024 included an $18.7 million gain related to a decrease in the fair value of Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024, partially offset by $4.2 million of interest expense related to the Related Party Loan associated with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
Net income attributable to Purple Inc. was de minimis for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $40.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The $40.5 million reduction in net loss was primarily due to the $18.7 million gain associated with the decrease in the fair value of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024, the $13.4 million increase in gross profit and the $12.2 million reduction in operating expenses.
Outlook for Growth
We believe that we are well positioned to build on our recent trends due to our differentiated product and growing brand strength. We remain focused on five key initiatives to drive sustainable and profitable market share gains:
● | Improving the productivity of our existing wholesale and showroom doors. With our wholesale partners, we are continuing to focus on deepening our partnerships at each functional touch point, including joint business planning, collaborative marketing and sales associate training to maximize productivity and continued brand awareness. In Purple showrooms, we are focusing on increasing productivity and profitability over door expansion. This includes establishing a more focused selling environment with new demand driven tactics, a new consumer financing partnership and store expense optimization. |
● | Improving our marketing effectiveness. Our marketing will support growth in two ways – by enhancing creative and by improving media efficiency. Our premium branding has been performing well and we believe there is potential to further evolve the marketing creative to attract more consumers to the brand. We will focus on media efficiency by directing spend based on geography and high sales potential, adjusting the cadence of our spend to match consumer demand periods and shifting some of our upper funnel spend closer to key wholesale distribution points. Additionally, we recently moved digital media management back in house to increase agility and performance. |
● | Driving e-commerce conversion. We intend to drive conversion improvements through personalization and streamlining of the website. Our efforts will focus on altering the website experience by visitor intent and product focus and simplifying the experience for potential customers. |
● | Bringing new products and innovations to market. We continue to accelerate innovation, keeping our product and technology pipelines robust and vibrant. Recent initiatives are generating new and more cost-effective technologies which positions us for the next stage of growth. We expect multiple new product launches across each of our major product categories over the next 12 months as we continue to drive our Path to Premium Sleep strategy with holistic, sleep system solutions. |
● | Driving gross margin improvements. We believe we can continue to drive gross margin improvements through various strategies that include selective pricing actions, continued mix shift towards our Premium and Luxe collections and manufacturing and supply chain optimization. We have generated strong efficiency gains in our plants. In addition, we have delivered direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts, improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements, and our outbound freight costs are reflecting cost improvements along with improved delivery reliability. |
There is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively continue to execute these initiatives, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2024 and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above. In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues increased $2.4 million, or 2.0%, to $120.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $117.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Our revenue growth was primarily due to a $3.6 million, or 7.2%, increase in wholesale channel net revenues, driven primarily by the continued positive response of our wholesale partners and strong demand for our new product lineups we launched in 2023. Within our DTC channel, e-commerce net revenues decreased $2.9 million, or 5.7%, while Purple showroom net revenues increased $1.7 million, or 10.6%. The decrease in e-commerce net revenues reflected the ongoing impact of deteriorating industry trends that led to softness for most big-ticket home related discretionary items and delays in our efforts to improve personalization and streamline the website. The growth in Purple showroom net revenues was driven by an increase in average selling prices from both strategic price adjustments and a sizeable mix shift into our higher priced Luxe Products. We also expanded the number of retail locations from 56 at the end of the prior year second quarter to 60 at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues decreased $11.1 million, or 13.4%, to $71.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $82.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in our cost of revenues was largely due to the operational efficiency improvements implemented over the last 12 months along with increased costs in 2023 due to significant non-recurring costs related to our new product launch. Our gross profit percentage increased to 40.7% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2024 from 30.1% in the prior year second quarter. This increase reflected improved production efficiency in 2024 due primarily to supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. We realized direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts to become less dependent on sole-sourced materials, generated strong efficiency gains in our plants, improved scrap and yield results through continuous improvements, and our scheduled delivery program for outbound freight is giving us both cost improvements and improved delivery reliability. The gross profit percentage in 2023 was adversely impacted by the transition to our new product lineup in the second quarter of 2023.
28
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense decreased $5.0 million, or 10.8%, to $41.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $46.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease primarily consisted of a $4.2 million decrease in advertising spending. As a percentage of net revenues, advertising spend was 13.2% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 17.0% in the second quarter of 2023. The lower percentage of revenues reflected the impact of using more efficient advertising techniques in 2024 as compared to management’s expanded marketing efforts in the second quarter of 2023 to support the launch of the new Premium and Luxe product lineups in May 2023.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $8.3 million, or 31.5%, to $18.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the prior year comparative quarter including non-recurring legal and professional costs incurred by the Board’s special committee.
Research and Development
Research and development costs increased $1.1 million, or 36.3%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the loss incurred on the write off of a project.
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $(25.7) million to $(14.5) million, or 63.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $(40.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The smaller operating loss in 2024 primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit that was driven by production efficiencies coupled with a reduction in operating expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to interest incurred on the new $61.0 million loan that was entered into in January 2024 to refinance the term loan and revolving line of credit associated with the 2023 Credit Agreements. Interest expense in the second quarter of 2023 was comprised of only debt issuance cost amortization and commitment fees associated with the line of credit under the 2020 Credit Agreement as the related term loan associated with the 2020 Credit Agreement was repaid in full in February 2023.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
In January 2024, in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we issued 20.0 million Warrants to the Lenders. These Warrants contain certain provisions that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities. This liability is re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. At June 30, 2024, the outstanding Warrants had a fair value of $24.5 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a gain of $18.7 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the decrease in fair value of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024 as compared to the fair value of the Warrants outstanding at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The income tax expense amounts in both the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was de minimis for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues increased $15.7 million, or 7.0%, to $240.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $224.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net revenue growth was primarily due to a $17.0 million, or 18.8%, increase in wholesale channel net revenues, driven primarily by the continued positive response of our wholesale partners and strong demand for our new product lineups we launched in 2023. Within our DTC channel, e-commerce net revenues decreased $4.7 million, or 4.6%, while Purple showroom net revenues increased $3.4 million, or 10.9%. The decrease in e-commerce net revenues reflected the ongoing impact of deteriorating industry trends that led to softness for most big-ticket home related discretionary items and delays in our efforts to improve personalization and streamline the website. The growth in Purple showroom net revenues was driven by an increase in average selling prices from both strategic price adjustments and a sizeable mix shift into our higher priced Luxe Products. We also expanded the number of retail locations from 56 at the end of the prior year second quarter to 60 at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues increased $1.1 million, or 0.7%, to $149.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $148.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in our cost of revenues is due to the increase in revenues partially offset by decreases in costs largely due to the operational efficiency improvements implemented over the last 12 months. In addition, our costs in 2023 increased due to significant non-recurring costs related to our new product launch. Our gross profit percentage increased to 37.7% of net revenues in 2024 from 33.9% in 2023. This increase reflected improved production efficiency in 2024 due primarily to supply chain initiatives and manufacturing efficiency. We realized direct material cost savings from our supplier diversification efforts to become less dependent on sole-sourced materials, generated strong efficiency gains in our plants, improved scrap and yield results through continuous improvements, and our scheduled delivery program for outbound freight is giving us both cost improvements and improved delivery reliability. These savings were offset in part by a shift in revenue to our wholesale channel, which carries a lower average selling price than sales from our DTC channels. The gross profit percentage in 2023 was adversely impacted by costs associated with the transition to our new product lineup in the second quarter of 2023.
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense decreased $1.7 million, or 2.0%, to $82.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $84.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease primarily reflected a $3.1 million decrease in advertising spending, offset in part by a $1.8 million increase in showroom marketing and sales costs attributable to showroom expansion. As a percentage of net revenues, advertising spend was 12.0% in 2024 compared to 14.2% in 2023. The lower percentage of revenues reflected the impact of using more efficient advertising techniques in 2024 as compared to management’s expanded marketing efforts that began in the second quarter of 2023 to support the launch of our new Premium and Luxe product lineups in May 2023.
30
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $12.3 million, or 24.5%, to $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $50.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to 2023 including non-recurring legal and professional costs incurred by the Board’s special committee.
Research and Development
Research and development costs increased $1.4 million, or 21.5%, to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to the loss incurred on the write off of a project.
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $(27.2) million, or 41.9%, to $(37.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $(64.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The smaller operating loss in 2024 primarily resulted from an increase in gross profit that was driven by higher sales and production efficiencies coupled with a reduction in operating expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to interest incurred on the new $61.0 million loan that was entered into in January 2024 to refinance the term loan and revolving line of credit associated with the 2023 Credit Agreements. Interest expense in the first six months of 2023 was lower because the term loan associated with the 2020 Credit Agreement was repaid in full in February 2023.
Other Income, Net
Other income increased to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to $4.3 million of proceeds received in January 2024 as partial settlement for a previously filed business interruption insurance claim.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In January 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that terminated and paid off our 2023 Credit Agreements. This termination was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and $3.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in 2024. In February 2023, we entered into a fifth amendment to the since terminated 2020 Credit Agreement and repaid in full the outstanding balance of the related term loan plus accrued interest. This amendment was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and $1.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs were recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in 2023.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
In January 2024, in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we issued 20.0 million Warrants to the Lenders. These Warrants contain certain provisions that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities. The initial liability for these Warrants was recorded at a fair value of $19.6 million on the date of issuance with the offset included in debt issuance costs. This liability is being re-measured to fair value at each reporting date or exercise date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. At June 30, 2024, the Warrants had a fair value of $24.5 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a loss of $4.9 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the increase in fair value of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2024 as compared to the fair value of the Warrants on the date of issuance.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had income tax expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The income tax expense amounts in both 2024 and 2023 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
31
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, supplemented with borrowings made pursuant to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and proceeds received from offerings of our equity capital. Principal uses of funds consist of capital expenditures, working capital needs, and operating lease payment obligations. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we have elected to pay interest in kind on our new loan to reduce cash obligations. Our working capital needs depend largely upon the timing of cash receipts from product sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories, and operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital positions were $23.4 million and $39.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024 compared to $26.9 million and $30.8 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Cash used for capital expenditures totaled $5.3 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our capital expenditures in 2024 have primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations and showroom facilities. Additional details about our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are described above under “Recent Developments in our Business – Debt Financing.”
Based on our current projections, which includes the remaining $7.3 million settlement amount received in July 2024 pursuant to a previously filed business interruption claim, we believe our cash on hand, expected cash to be generated from our operations and up to $19.0 million additional cash available under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements and cover anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. In the event our cash flow from operations or other sources of financing are less than anticipated, we believe we will be able to fund operating expenses based on our ability to scale back operations, reduce marketing spend, and postpone or discontinue our growth strategies. Such actions could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may lose key suppliers, be unable to timely satisfy customer orders, and be unable to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors, pursue work-out options or other protective measures. We may also need to seek additional funding sources including new debt from subordinated lenders or equity capital. However, such additional debt or equity capital may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Our ability to raise additional debt financing would require the consent of the Lenders.
Other Contractual Obligations

Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
The following summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2024 | 2023 | |||||||
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (25,730 | ) | $ | (38,053 | ) | ||
Net cash used in investing activities | (5,253 | ) | (5,823 | ) | ||||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 27,534 | 29,071 | ||||||
Net increase in cash | (3,449 | ) | (14,805 | ) | ||||
Cash, beginning of the period | 26,857 | 41,754 | ||||||
Cash, end of the period | $ | 23,408 | $ | 26,949 |
Cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million and $38.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash used in operating activities during the first six months of 2024 was offset by the net proceeds received from entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in January 2024. Significant components of the year-over-year change in cash used in operating activities included a $16.4 million decrease in net loss, offset in part by a $4.9 million increase in the fair value of Warrants issued in January 2024.
Cash used in investing activities reflected capital expenditures of $5.2 million and $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first six months of 2024 primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations and showroom facilities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $27.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $29.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Financing activities during the first six months of 2024 included $61.0 million of proceeds received from the Related Party Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, offset in part by a $25.0 million payment to pay off the Term Loans from the 2023 Credit Agreement, a $5.0 million payment to pay off the ABL Loans from the 2023 Credit Agreement, and payments of $3.5 million for debt issuance costs associated with entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our operating results are subject to risk from interest rate fluctuations on the outstanding borrowings. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. The proceeds we received from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement entered into in January 2024 bears interest at a variable rate which exposes us to market risks relating to changes in interest rates. As of June 30, 2024, we had $65.4 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our new loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Based on this debt level, an increase of 100 basis points in the effective interest rate on the outstanding debt amount would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.7 million over the next 12 months.
We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes, but this does not preclude our adoption of specific hedging strategies in the future.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our Certifying Officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 at the reasonable assurance level.
Previously Reported Material Weakness
As previously reported, we identified a material weakness related to the review and evaluation of wholesale customer contracts, specifically as it relates to variable consideration, including wholesale warranty obligations. Specifically, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the review and evaluation of the accounting relating to contract terms agreed upon with our wholesale customers and the identification and calculation of the related wholesale accrued warranty liabilities.
In response to this material weakness, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board, designed and effectively implemented a control over the review of all wholesale customer contracts to ensure the terms contained therein are appropriately evaluated and recorded. This control includes increased rigor and participation among our legal and accounting personnel regarding the appropriate consideration and application of contractual terms. We also implemented new controls over credit memo review and approval and the evaluation and review of accrued wholesale warranty liabilities. Based on these measures, management has tested the new controls, found them effective, and concluded that the previously reported material weakness described above has been remediated as of June 30, 2024.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
Other than the remediation efforts related to the design and implementation of sufficient controls around our customer contracts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Please refer to Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies and Note 20 – Subsequent Events to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report for certain information regarding our legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024.The disclosure of risks identified below does not imply that the risk has not already materialized.
Future use and amount of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits is uncertain.
On June 27, 2024, our Board approved the adoption of the NOL Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by attempting to safeguard our ability to use Current NOLs of approximately $238 million to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations from becoming substantially limited by future ownership of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan, the Board authorized and declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 26, 2024. Upon a stockholder acquiring greater than a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage), the Rights will become exercisable to significantly dilute any stockholder who violates the ownership limitations of the NOL Rights Plan. In connection with the NOL Rights Plan, the Board adopted, and recommended that our stockholders approve, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection to our Current NOLs until June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of Common Stock that results in a stockholder acquiring beyond a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has current beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage).
Our use of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits depends on our ability to generate taxable income in the future. We cannot ensure whether we will have future taxable income in any applicable period or, if we do, whether such income or our Current NOLs or other tax benefits at such time will exceed any potential limitation under Code Section 382.
The IRS may challenge our Current NOLs and other tax benefits.
As of June 30, 2024, the amount of our Current NOLs has not been audited or otherwise validated by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The IRS could challenge the amount of our Current NOLs, which could result in an increase in our future liability for income taxes. In addition, determining whether an ownership change under Code Section 382 has occurred is subject to uncertainty, both because of the complexity and ambiguity of the provisions of Code Section 382 and because of limitations on the knowledge that any publicly traded company can have about the ownership of, and transactions in, its securities on a timely basis. Therefore, we cannot ensure that the IRS or another taxing authority will not claim that we experienced an ownership change under Code Section 382 and attempt to reduce the benefit of our Current NOLs and other tax benefits available to us at such time, even if the NOL Protective Charter Amendment is in place.
There is continued risk of ownership change under Code Section 382.
Although the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan are intended to reduce the likelihood of an ownership change under Code Section 382, we cannot ensure that the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan will be effective. The amount by which an ownership interest under Code Section 382 may change in the future could, for example, be affected by purchases of our Common Stock by stockholders who are 5%-stockholders (as defined under Code Section 382) or by purchases of stock or other interests in corporations, partnerships or other legal entities that own 4.9% or more of our Common Stock, over which we have no control. Further, while the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan allow for the exercise of currently outstanding conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options or otherwise, such exercises may result in an ownership change under Code Section 382. It may also be in our best interests, taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances at the time, to permit the acquisition of our Common Stock in excess of the specified limitations or to issue new or redeem existing equity in the future, all of which may increase the likelihood of an ownership change under Code Section 382.
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan may potentially adversely affect the market for, and negatively impact the value of, our Common Stock.
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan are intended to prohibit or deter a stockholder’s ability to acquire, directly, indirectly or constructively, additional shares of our Common Stock in excess of the specified limitations. As such, a stockholder’s ability to dispose of our Common Stock may be limited by reducing the class of potential acquirers for such shares. In addition, a stockholder’s ownership of our Common Stock may become subject to the restrictions of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment, or may trigger applicable thresholds under the NOL Rights Plan, upon actions taken by Persons (as such term is defined in the NOL Protective Charter Amendment or the NOL Rights Plan, as applicable) related to, or affiliated with, such stockholder.
34
If the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan are approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, our Board intends to include a legend reflecting the transfer restrictions included in the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the Rights issued pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan on certificates representing newly issued or transferred shares of our Common Stock, to disclose such Rights and restrictions to Persons holding our Common Stock in uncertificated form, and to disclose such restrictions to the public generally. Because certain buyers, including Persons who wish to acquire more than 4.9% of our Common Stock and certain institutional holders who may not be comfortable holding our Common Stock with restrictive legends, may choose not to purchase our Common Stock, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan could have an adverse effect on the marketability and trading value of our Common Stock in an amount that could more than offset any value preserved from protecting our Current NOLs. The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan could also have a negative impact on the trading value of our Common Stock by deterring Persons or groups of Persons from acquiring our Common Stock, including in acquisitions that might result in some or all of our stockholders receiving a premium above market value.
The NOL Protective Charter Amendment and the NOL Rights Plan may have an anti-takeover effect.
While the NOL Protective Charter Amendment is not intended to prevent, or even discourage, a proposal to acquire the Company, if approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment may have a potential anti-takeover effect because, among other things, it will restrict the ability of a Person, entity or group to accumulate more than 4.9% of our Common Stock and the ability of Persons, entities or groups now owning more than 4.9% of our Common Stock to acquire any significant amount of additional shares of our Common Stock, in each case, without the approval of our Board. Similarly, while the NOL Rights Plan is not intended to prevent, or even discourage, a proposal to acquire the Company, if ratified by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, the NOL Rights Plan may have a potential anti-takeover effect because, among other things, an Acquiring Person (as such term is defined in the NOL Rights Plan) may have its ownership interest diluted upon the occurrence of a triggering event. Accordingly, the overall effects of the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan, if approved and ratified by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, may be to render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or assumption of control by a substantial holder of our Common Stock, and have an adverse effect on the marketability and the trading value of our Common Stock. However, the NOL Protective Charter Amendment and NOL Rights Plan should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the Board.
Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market may depress our share price.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities, regardless of whether there is any relationship between such sales and the performance of our business.
In connection with the issuance of Warrants pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, on January 23, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with CCP, Blackwell, Coliseum Capital Co-Invest III, L.P. (“C-3”), Harvest Master, Harvest Partners, and HSCP (the “Holders”), providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Warrants, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants and the Class A Common Stock held by the Holders as of such date (the “Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that on or prior to February 22, 2024, the Company was required to prepare and file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act a registration statement to register the resale of the Registrable Securities. The Company received an extension from the Holders to file the registration statement on or prior to March 22, 2024. On March 21, 2024, the Company filed the registration statement pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement which became effective on June 4, 2024.
The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales in the market by a few large stockholders, such as Coliseum or the Holders, or the perception that these sales could occur, including as a result of the registration statement filed March 21, 2024. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Our stockholders may experience substantial dilution in the value of their investment or may otherwise have their interests impaired if we issue additional shares of our capital stock, including as a result of the exercise of the Warrants.
Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows us to issue up to 300 million shares of our common stock, including 210 million shares of Class A common stock and 90 million shares of Class B common stock, and up to five million shares of undesignated preferred stock. For example, in February 2023 we issued 13.4 million shares of Class A common stock pursuant to an underwritten public offering. To raise additional capital, we may in the future sell additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that are lower than the prices paid by existing stockholders, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, which could result in substantial dilution to the interests of existing stockholders. For example, on January 23, 2024, we issued to the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement Warrants to purchase 20.0 million Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants will expire on the 10-year anniversary of issuance or earlier upon redemption. The exercise of the Warrants will dilute the value of the Class A common stock and stockholder voting power.
