SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “possible” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•our future financial performance, including our revenue, cost of revenue and operating expenses and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;
•the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to meet our liquidity needs;
•our ability to effectively manage or sustain our growth and to effectively expand our operations;
•our strategies, plans, objectives and goals, including our expectations regarding future infrastructure investments as well as restructuring activities;
•our ability to attract and retain buyers and sellers and the continued impact of network effects as we scale our platform;
•our ability to continue to generate revenue from Resale-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) offerings as sources of revenue;
•trends in our key financial and operating metrics;
•our estimated market opportunity;
•economic and industry trends, projected growth or trend analysis, including inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, cybersecurity risks, changing consumer habits, climate change and extreme weather events and general global political and economic uncertainty;
•our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations;
•our ability to incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning and other emergent technologies into our business operations successfully; and
•our discontinuation of European operations in connection with the divestiture of our Remix subsidiary.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expect. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: our ability to attract new users and convert users into buyers and active buyers; the sufficiency of our cash, cash equivalents and capital resources to meet our liquidity needs; our ability to effectively manage or sustain our growth and to effectively expand our operations; our ability to continue to generate revenue from new RaaS offerings as sources of revenue; risks from an intensely competitive market; our ability to effectively deploy new and evolving technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, in our offerings; risks arising from economic and industry trends, including the effects of inflationary pressures, increased interest rates, changing consumer habits, climate change and general global political and economic uncertainty; our ability to comply with applicable laws and regulations; our ability to recognize realize expected savings or benefits from reorganization activities; and our ability to successfully integrate and realize the benefits of our past or future strategic acquisitions or investments. More information on these risks and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
3
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

THREDUP INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
ThredUp Inc. (“ThredUp” or the “Company”) was formed as a corporation in the State of Delaware in January 2009. ThredUp operates a large resale platform that enables consumers to buy and sell primarily secondhand apparel, shoes, and accessories.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the United States (“U.S.”) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information may be condensed or omitted.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to: the useful lives of property and equipment, allowance for sales returns, breakage on loyalty points and rewards and gift cards, valuation of inventory, stock-based compensation, lease liabilities, and goodwill.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 10-K”).
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Company combined consignment revenue and product revenue into a single line item, revenue, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and similarly combined related cost of revenue line items, reflecting the immateriality of product revenue following the Company’s transition to a primarily consignment model. The Company also reclassified inventory to other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows to align with the combined presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total revenue, net loss, stockholders’ equity, or cash flows.
Discontinued Operations
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
10
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosures about a public entity’s expenses, including inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses and other expense categories. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which will be the annual period ending December 31, 2027 and interim periods within the annual period ending December 31, 2028 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosures to enable financial statements users to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be the annual period ending December 31, 2025 for the Company. The Company expects the adoption to result in enhanced income tax disclosures in its annual consolidated financial statements.
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the ASC. These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect that the application of this standard will have an impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Segment Reporting
The Company operates under one operating segment and one reportable segment as its chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company does not have material intra-entity sales or transfers.
The key measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM uses to allocate resources and assess performance is the Company’s loss from continuing operations, as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue from Loyalty Reward Redemption and Expiration
The Company previously had a customer loyalty program, which allowed end-customers to earn and accumulate points with each qualifying purchase. Earned points could be redeemed for loyalty rewards, such as non-cashoutable shopping credit, free shipping, or waived restocking fee, which could be applied to future purchases or returns. Unredeemed points expired after one year from the date the points were earned. Reward coupons expired six months from the date the reward was claimed. Points earned on purchases were considered a material right, representing a separate performance obligation.
The allocated consideration for the points earned through qualifying purchase transactions was deferred based on the standalone selling price of the points, adjusted for expected breakage in proportion to the pattern of redemption, and recorded within deferred revenue under accrued and other current liabilities within the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Revenue was recognized for these performance obligations at a point in time when rewards were redeemed by the end customer or expired.

3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:
•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
•Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Fair Value Measurements - Recurring Basis
The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities approximated their estimated fair value. As such, the unrealized gains or losses related to the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities were not material.
For the Company’s marketable securities, which were all classified as available-for-sale, the Company utilizes third-party pricing services to obtain fair value. Third-party pricing methodologies incorporate bond terms and conditions, current performance data, proprietary pricing models, real-time quotes from contributing dealers, trade prices and other market data. The Company determined that the declines in the fair value of its marketable securities were not driven by credit-related factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any losses on its marketable securities due to credit-related factors.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s money market funds were valued using Level 1 inputs because they were valued using quoted prices in active markets. The Company’s commercial paper, U.S. treasury securities, and U.S. government agency bonds were valued using Level 2 inputs because they were valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had no assets or liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, all of the $5.7 million carrying amount of marketable securities had a contractual maturity date of less than one year.
Fair Value Measurements - Nonrecurring Basis
The Company measures the fair value of certain assets on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Such nonrecurring fair value measurements generally result from impairment charges. The Company did not have any assets resulting in nonrecurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, seller payable and accrued and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values due to their relatively short maturities. Management believes the terms of its long-term variable-rate debt reflect current market conditions for an instrument with similar terms and maturity, and as such, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its fair value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

6. Long-Term Debt
In February 2019, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (“Term Loan”) with Western Alliance Bank for an aggregate amount of up to $40.0 million.
The Term Loan was subsequently amended several times, with the most recent amendment taking place in December 2023.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to litigation claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
17
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for limited and customary indemnification obligations. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made.
10. Income Taxes
The quarterly income tax provision reflects an estimate of the corresponding quarter’s state taxes in the U.S. The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s annual effective tax rate for the years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Since the Company is in a full valuation allowance position due to losses incurred since inception, the provision for taxes consists solely of certain state income taxes.
11. Loss Per Share

12. Discontinued Operations
On November 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its European subsidiary, Remix, to Remix’s management (the “Transaction”). The Transaction qualified for held-for-sale classification on November 30, 2024 and represented a strategic shift with a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Following the divestiture, the Company did not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of Remix. As a result, Remix met the criteria for reporting as a discontinued operation on the same date.
Remix’s financial results during 2024 are presented as loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The following table presents the major components of Remix’s financial results for the period presented:

Overview
ThredUp operates one of the world’s largest online resale platforms for apparel, shoes and accessories. Our mission is to inspire the world to think secondhand first. We believe in a sustainable fashion future and we are proud that our business model creates a positive impact to the benefit of our buyers, sellers, clients, employees, investors and the environment. Our custom-built operating platform consists of distributed processing infrastructure, proprietary software and systems and data science expertise. This platform is powering the rapidly emerging resale economy, one of the fastest growing sectors in retail, according to a GlobalData market survey conducted in January 2025.
ThredUp’s proprietary operating platform is the foundation for our managed marketplace, where we have bridged online and offline technology to make the buying and selling of tens of millions of unique items easy and fun. The marketplaces we have built enable buyers to browse and purchase resale items for primarily apparel, shoes and accessories across a wide range of price points. Buyers enjoy shopping value, premium and luxury brands all in one place, at up to 90% off estimated retail price. Sellers enjoy ThredUp because we make it easy to clean out their closets and unlock value for themselves or for the charity of their choice while doing good for the planet. ThredUp’s sellers order a Clean Out Kit, fill it and return it to us using our prepaid label. We take it from there and do the work to make those items available for resale.
In addition to our core marketplace, some of the world’s leading brands and retailers are taking advantage of our RaaS offering, which allows them to conveniently offer a scalable closet clean out service and/or resale shop to their customers. We believe RaaS will accelerate the growth of this emerging category and form the backbone of the modern resale experience.
Recent Business Developments
Discontinued Operations
On November 30, 2024, we divested 91% of our European business and Bulgarian subsidiary, Remix, which qualified for reporting as a discontinued operation. As a result, Remix’s results during 2024 are presented as a single line item, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and excluded from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. In the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, cash flows attributable to Remix have been segregated and presented separately as net cash flow used in discontinued operating activities and net cash flow used in discontinued investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Accordingly, any discussion of historical information in the following sections reflects Remix’s results as a discontinued operation, and amounts, including key operating metrics, and disclosures below pertain to our continuing operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
Overview of First Quarter Results
Revenue: Revenue totaled $71.3 million, representing an increase of 10.5% year over year.
Gross Profit and Margin: Gross profit totaled $56.4 million, representing an increase of 9.0% year over year. Gross margin was 79.1%, a decrease of 100 basis points from 80.1% in the comparable quarter last year.
19
Loss from continuing operations: Loss from continuing operations was $5.2 million, or a negative 7.3% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to a loss of $12.2 million, or a negative 18.9% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2024.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations(1): Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $3.8 million, or 5.3% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.9 million, or 2.9% of revenue, for the first quarter of 2024.
Active Buyers and Orders: Active Buyers and Orders each totaled 1.4 million in the first quarter of 2025, representing increases of 5.7% and 16.1%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We review a number of operating and financial metrics, including the following key business and non-GAAP metrics, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. These key financial and operating metrics are set forth below for the periods presented.

See below for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to its most directly comparable GAAP measure, loss from continuing operations.
Active Buyers
An Active Buyer is a ThredUp buyer who has made at least one purchase in the last twelve months. A ThredUp buyer is a customer who has created an account and purchased in our marketplaces, including through our RaaS clients, and is identified by a unique email address. A single person could have multiple ThredUp accounts and count as multiple Active Buyers. The number of Active Buyers is a key driver of revenue for our marketplaces.
Orders
Orders means the total number of orders placed by buyers across our marketplaces, including through our RaaS clients, in a given period, net of cancellations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures from Continuing Operations
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations Margin
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations means loss from continuing operations adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, gain on sale of non-marketable equity investment, and provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations divided by Revenue. We use these non-GAAP measures to evaluate and assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe these non-GAAP measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we combined consignment revenue and product revenue into a single line item, revenue, on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and similarly combined related cost of revenue line items. With our transition to a primarily consignment model, product revenue is no longer material. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Revenue increased $6.8 million, or 10.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The growth in revenue was mainly driven by a 5.7% increase in Active Buyers, a 16.1% increase in Orders and a 4.3% increase in the average order value, reflecting continued strength in our core marketplace business and our ongoing focus on the higher-margin, capital-efficient consignment model.

Gross margin was 79.1% and 80.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, or a decrease of 100 basis points. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily driven by higher outbound shipping, labor, and packaging costs.

Operations, product, and technology expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 5.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in facilities, technology and other costs, a $1.1 million decrease in severance costs following the completion of our workforce reorganization in March 2024, and a $0.3 million decrease in inbound shipping related to consignment revenue. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in personnel costs, driven by higher headcount at our distribution center. The decrease in operations, product, and technology expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased operating leverage resulting from higher revenue and lower overall costs.

Marketing expenses increased $2.3 million, or 21.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $2.5 million increase in advertising costs and a $0.6 million increase in facilities, technology and other costs. This increase was partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in personnel-related costs, including a $0.4 million decrease in severance costs following the completion of our workforce reorganization in March 2024 and a $0.4 million decrease driven by lower headcount. The increase in marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue reflected a higher rate of marketing spend relative to the growth in revenue, as we continue to invest in marketing initiatives to support future growth.

Sales, general, and administrative expenses decreased $2.6 million, or 16.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in personnel-related costs, including a $2.4 million decrease driven by lower headcount, of which $1.5 million related to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense, and a $1.2 million decrease in severance costs following the completion of our workforce reorganization in March 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in facilities, technology and other costs and a $0.4 million increase in professional services. The decrease in sales, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to increased operating leverage resulting from higher revenue and lower overall costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
While we have a history of negative cash flows from operations, we generated positive cash flows from continuing operations of $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We have primarily financed our operations through private and public sales of equity securities and debt. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities of $55.4 million. Additionally, we have a term loan facility (“Term Loan”) under which $22.5 million remained available to be drawn as of March 31, 2025 for the purchase of certain equipment, and we were in full compliance with our debt covenants under the Term Loan as of that date. See Note 6. Long-Term Debt, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a further discussion on our Term Loan.
23
We expect operating losses to continue in 2025 as we continue to invest in growing our business and our infrastructure. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows generated from operations, cash on hand and borrowings available under the Term Loan. Our primary use of cash includes seller payouts, operating costs such as distribution network spend, product and technology expenses, marketing expenses, personnel expenses and other expenditures necessary to support our operations and our growth. Additionally, our primary capital expenditures are related to the set-up, expansion and/or automation of our distribution network. Based upon our current operating plans, we believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months and beyond to meet our short- and long-term capital requirements, and we do not anticipate expanding our distribution network to include additional locations in the near term. Our cash flow forecast is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including but not limited to, the timing of any future distribution center automation and expansion plans to support planned revenue growth, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the potential introduction of new offerings and new RaaS clients, the continuing growth of our marketplaces and overall economic conditions. However, we expect that our capital expenditures will remain modest for the remainder of 2025. See the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and Liquidity—We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available or may be available only by diluting existing stockholders” within the 2024 10-K.

Changes in Cash Flows from Continuing Operating Activities
Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $5.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The $2.5 million increase in continuing operating cash inflows was primarily due to a $7.0 million decrease in our loss from continuing operations, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in non-cash charges and a $2.1 million net use of cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities. The decrease in non-cash charges was primarily related to a $1.4 million reduction in stock-based compensation expense as a result of the March 2024 workforce reorganization, and a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation expense due to accelerated depreciation recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily attributable to cash outflows of $4.3 million from lower accrued and other liabilities, primarily due to accrued severance in the first quarter of 2024 related to our March 2024 workforce reorganization, $1.4 million from higher accounts receivable reflecting the timing of cash receipts from payment processors and higher sales volume near the end of the quarter, and $1.3 million from higher other current assets primarily related to lower sales of owned inventory. These were partially offset by cash inflows of $3.5 million from higher accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments, and $1.2 million from higher seller payable, primarily reflecting the timing of seller credit cash-outs or redemptions and conversions to gift cards.
Changes in Cash Flows from Continuing Investing Activities
Net cash provided by continuing investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.1 million as compared to net cash used in continuing investing activities of $5.3 million for the same period in 2024. The $10.4 million increase in cash inflows was primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities and a $5.6 million increase in sale and maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in purchases of property and equipment.
24
Changes in Cash Flows from Continuing Financing Activities
Net cash used in continuing financing activities was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2024, reflecting relatively consistent cash outflows related to debt repayment and stock-based award activities.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue, costs and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since the 2024 10-K. For a description of critical accounting policies that affect our significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, see Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the 2024 10-K.
JOBS Act Accounting Election
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion under Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information on new accounting pronouncements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include:
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2025, we had non-restricted cash and cash equivalents of $41.1 million and marketable securities of $5.7 million, consisting primarily of money market funds, commercial paper, U.S. treasury securities and U.S. government agency bonds, which carry a degree of interest rate risk. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes and have not used any derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk exposure. Due to the short- to intermediate-term nature of our investments, we have not been exposed to, nor do we anticipate being exposed to, material risks due to fluctuations in interest rates.
The Term Loan bears variable interest rates tied to the prime rate, with a floor of 4.75%, and therefore carries interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year and our borrowing amounts on the Term Loan remained constant, the increase or decrease to our annual interest expense would not be material.
25
Inflation Risk
As of March 31, 2025, inflation remains at elevated levels in the U.S. where we conduct our business, resulting in rising interest rates and fuel, labor and processing, freight and other costs that have affected our gross margin and operating expenses. We believe these increases have negatively impacted our business, and although difficult to quantify, inflation is potentially having an adverse effect on our customers’ ability to purchase in our marketplaces, resulting in slowing revenue and Order growth. If we are unable to increase our prices to sufficiently offset the rising costs of doing business, our profitability and financial position could be adversely impacted.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under the Exchange Act, means controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent quarter ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designated and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
