1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are those of Wayfair Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “Wayfair,” “the Company" or similar terms refer to Wayfair Inc. and its subsidiaries. In the Company’s opinion, 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 United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 year ended December 31, 2024. Furthermore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ended December 31, 2025 or future periods.
The Company has identified significant accounting policies that are critical to understanding its business and results of operations. Wayfair believes that there have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the items disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to update reportable income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures on the rate reconciliation table and other disclosures, including total income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively, with retrospective adoption permitted. Wayfair is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Wayfair is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which clarifies the assessment of whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The amendment can be applied either on a prospective or retrospective basis. Wayfair is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Supplemental Financial Statement Disclosures
Accounts Receivable, Net
As of March 31, 2025, accounts receivable was $140 million, net of allowance for credit losses of $21 million. As of December 31, 2024, accounts receivable was $155 million, net of allowance for credit losses of $18 million. The changes in the allowance for credit losses were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Management believes credit risk is mitigated for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as approximately 98.6% of the net revenue recognized was collected in advance of recognition.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities included in other current liabilities were $232 million at March 31, 2025 and $224 million at December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair recognized $148 million of net revenue that was included within other current liabilities, as of December 31, 2024.
Net revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by geographic region because this manner of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of net revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 9, Segment and Geographic Information, for additional information.
Impairment and Other Related Net Charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair recorded net charges of $23 million, inclusive of $20 million associated with its decision to exit the German market (the “Germany Restructuring”) and weakened macroeconomic conditions in connection with its German operations and $3 million associated with changes in sublease market conditions for a technology center in the U.S. The $20 million of charges associated with the Germany Restructuring is inclusive of $9 million related to operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, $19 million related to property, plant and equipment, partially offset by a recovery of $8 million related to the termination of its office lease in Germany.
Restructuring Charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair incurred $56 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance, benefits, relocation and transition costs. This is inclusive of $40 million related to the Germany Restructuring and $16 million related to the March 2025 workforce reduction, which impacted members of the technology team. As of March 31, 2025, Wayfair expects the total cost to be incurred under both actions to be $79 million, of which $56 million has been recorded to date. Wayfair expects to incur the remainder of the charges through the year ended December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $29 million and $6 million, is accrued within other current liabilities, for employee severance benefits for the Germany Restructuring and the March 2025 workforce reduction, respectively.
3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash, Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Investments
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Wayfair’s marketable securities, which primarily consisted of corporate bonds and other government obligations that are priced at fair value, were classified as available-for-sale investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair did not have any realized gains or losses. Interest income includes interest earned from cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair recorded $10 million and $12 million of interest income, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair did not recognize any credit losses related to its available-for-sale debt securities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Wayfair did not have an allowance for credit losses recorded related to its available-for-sale debt securities.
The following table presents details of Wayfair’s investment securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Fair Value Measurements
Wayfair's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined 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 (exit price). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
▪Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
▪Level 2—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full-term of the asset or liability
▪Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability
This hierarchy requires Wayfair to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Wayfair classifies cash equivalents and certificate of deposits within Level 1 because these are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of Level 1 financial assets is based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. Wayfair classifies short-term investments within Level 2 because unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets are not active. Wayfair does not have assets that are classified as Level 3.
The following tables set forth the fair value of Wayfair's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Wayfair’s indebtedness includes unsecured 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), unsecured 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), unsecured 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), unsecured 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”), 7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”) and 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Secured Notes”, together with the 2029 Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes” and together with the Convertible Notes, the “Notes”).
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 13, 2025, Wayfair and certain of its subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantors”) and Wayfair LLC, a subsidiary of Wayfair, as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) among Wayfair, the Borrower, the lenders and letter of credit issuers parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent and a letter of credit issuer. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates and replaces that certain credit agreement, dated as of March 24, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time prior to entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), by and among the Borrower, Wayfair, each other credit party from time to time party thereto, each lender from time to time party thereto, Citibank N.A. as the administrative agent for the lenders and letter of credit issuer, and each other letter of credit issuer from time to time party thereto.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a maturity of March 13, 2030, subject to a springing earlier maturity in certain circumstances. Debt issuance costs for the Revolver are included in other non-current assets and are amortized to interest expense over the Revolver’s term. As of March 31, 2025, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver.
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, from time to time, request letters of credit, which reduce the availability of credit under the Revolver. Wayfair had $71 million outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2025, primarily as security for lease agreements, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity.
The proceeds of the Revolver may be used to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide funds for permitted acquisitions, repurchases of equity interests and other general corporate purposes. The Borrower’s obligations under the Revolver are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, with certain exceptions, all of the capital stock of Wayfair’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Wayfair’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Revolver borrowings bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at the Borrower’s option, (i) with respect to loans denominated in U.S. dollars, either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) rate or (y) the base rate (which is the highest of (x) the prime rate, (y) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (z) 1.00% in excess of the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR rate), (ii) with respect to loans denominated in an alternative currency (other than Pounds Sterling), the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or (iii) with respect to loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the RFR (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
As of March 31, 2025, the applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR and Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate loans is 1.25% per annum, the applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.25% per annum and the applicable margin for RFR loans is 1.2826% per annum. The applicable margin is subject to specified changes depending on Wayfair’s Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured revolving credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on our assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of our businesses. The Revolver also contains customary events of default, subject to thresholds and grace periods, including, among others, payment default, covenant default, cross default to other material indebtedness and judgment default. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires Wayfair to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 4.00 to 1.00, subject to a 0.50 step up following certain permitted acquisitions. Wayfair does not expect any of these restrictions to affect or limit the ability to conduct business in the ordinary course. As of March 31, 2025, Wayfair was in compliance with all covenants.
Senior Secured Notes
On March 13, 2025, Wayfair LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of Wayfair, issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes are governed by an indenture between the Issuer, the guarantors named therein (including Wayfair) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The indenture
provides, among other things, that the 2030 Secured Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuer. Interest on the 2030 Secured Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025, at a rate of 7.750% per annum. The annual effective interest rate of the 2030 Secured Notes is 7.90%. Transaction costs to issue the 2030 Secured Notes were recorded as direct deductions from the related debt liabilities and amortized to interest expense, net using the effective interest method over the terms of the corresponding 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes will mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms or repurchased.

Conversion and Redemption Terms of the Notes
Wayfair's Convertible Notes will mature at their maturity date unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The Convertible Notes’ initial conversion terms are summarized below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Convertible Notes | | Maturity Date | | Free Convertibility Date | | Initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 Principal | | Initial Conversion Price | | Redemption Date |
| | | | | | | | | | |
2025 Notes | | October 1, 2025 | | July 1, 2025 | | 2.3972 | | $417.15 | | October 4, 2022 |
2026 Notes | | August 15, 2026 | | May 15, 2026 | | 6.7349 | | $148.48 | | August 20, 2023 |
2027 Notes | | September 15, 2027 | | June 15, 2027 | | 15.7597 | | $63.45 | | September 20, 2025 |
2028 Notes | | November 15, 2028 | | August 15, 2028 | | 21.8341 | | $45.80 | | May 20, 2026 |
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest.
Wayfair will settle any conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at Wayfair’s election. The holders of the Convertible Notes may convert all or a portion of such Notes prior to certain specified dates (each, a “Free Convertibility Date”) under the following circumstances (in each case, as applicable to each series of Convertible Notes):
•during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
•during the five-business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period") in which the trading price (as defined in the applicable indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
•if Wayfair calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) (“the close of business”) on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and
•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the applicable indenture).
On or after the applicable Free Convertibility Date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time.
The conditional conversion features of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025, therefore, the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2025 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price conditions.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture), holders of the applicable series of the Convertible Notes may require Wayfair to repurchase all or a portion of such Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. Holders of the Convertible Notes who convert their respective Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a notice of redemption (each as defined in the applicable indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the respective Notes.
Wayfair may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to certain dates (the “Redemption Date”). On or after the applicable Redemption Date, Wayfair may redeem for cash all or part of the applicable series of the Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be either 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the if-converted value if the holder elects to convert their Convertible Notes upon receiving notice of redemption.
Partial Extinguishment of Convertible Notes
On March 14, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Secured Notes, Wayfair repurchased $578 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. In accounting for the repurchases, Wayfair recorded a $25 million gain on debt extinguishment, representing the difference between the cash paid for principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest and transaction fees of $551 million and the net carrying value of the 2026 Notes of $576 million.
Conversions of Convertible Notes
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no conversions of the Convertible Notes.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $32 million and $3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $15 million and $3 million, respectively.
Fair Value of the Notes
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2029 Secured Notes and 2030 Secured Notes was $231 million, $147 million, $678 million, $737 million, $768 million and $677 million, respectively. The estimated fair values of the Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The fair values of the Notes are classified as Level 2 as defined in Note 3, Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash, Investments and Fair Value Measurements. As of March 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes did not exceed the principal value.
Capped Calls
The 2025 Capped Calls, 2026 Capped Calls, 2027 Capped Calls and 2028 Capped Calls (collectively, the “Capped Calls”) are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion of the Convertible Notes if the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the applicable Capped Call (which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the applicable Convertible Notes and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the applicable Capped Call), with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the applicable Capped Calls (the “Initial Cap Price”). The Capped Calls can, at Wayfair’s option, remain outstanding until their maturity date, even if all or a portion of the Convertible Notes are converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to such date.
Each of the Capped Calls has an initial cap price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, which represented a premium over the last reported sale price (or, with respect to the 2025 Capped Calls, the volume-weighted average price) of Wayfair’s Class A common stock on the date the corresponding Convertible Notes were priced (the “Cap Price Premium”), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the corresponding agreements. Collectively, the Capped Calls cover, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes.
The initial terms for the Capped Calls are presented below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Capped Calls | | Maturity Date | | Initial Cap Price | | Cap Price Premium |
2025 Capped Calls | | October 1, 2025 | | $787.08 | | 150% |
2026 Capped Calls | | August 15, 2026 | | $280.15 | | 150% |
2027 Capped Calls | | September 15, 2027 | | $97.62 | | 100% |
2028 Capped Calls | | November 15, 2028 | | $73.28 | | 100% |
The Capped Calls are separate transactions from the Convertible Notes, are not subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Similarly, holders of the Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to Wayfair's stock and meet the requirements to be classified in equity. The premiums paid for the Capped Calls were included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ deficit when they were entered.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, Wayfair is involved in litigation matters and other legal claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. The Company does not record a gain contingency until the period in which the contingency is resolved and the gain is realizable or realized.
Litigation and legal claims are inherently unpredictable and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, and regardless of the outcome, these matters can be costly and time consuming, as it can divert management's attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting Wayfair's overall operations. In addition, Wayfair may also find itself at greater risk to outside party claims as it increases its operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable, or unclear. However, Wayfair does not currently believe that the outcome of any legal matters will have a material adverse effect on Wayfair’s results of operations or financial condition.
Canada Border Services Agency
The Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) is examining Wayfair’s payment of duties under the Special Import Measures Act (the “CBSA review”) for goods imported into Canada for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and part of the year ended December 31, 2021. Periodically, Wayfair receives assessments from the CBSA and Wayfair is required to pay all assessed amounts in order to exercise its appeal rights. Wayfair believes there are substantial factual and legal grounds to appeal and partially recuperate these amounts and is exploring other options to mitigate exposure. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair incurred approximately $5 million to cost of goods sold within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and made payments of approximately $5 million of duties based on assessments received during the current period, related to the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and part of the year ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $4 million was recorded within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The CBSA is also examining Wayfair’s valuation of duties under the Customs Act for goods imported into Canada for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The examination for part of the year ended December 31, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 resulted in a benefit of $38 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to cost of goods sold within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. This was related to an overpayment of duties during those years, and the refunds from this audit will primarily be used to offset future normal course custom duties payments and payments due under the CBSA review.
Because loss contingencies are inherently unpredictable, this assessment is subjective and requires judgments about future events. As a result, it is at least reasonably possible that this estimate may change in the near term and the effect of the potential change could be material.
6. Stockholders’ Deficit
Common Stock
Since Wayfair's initial public offering through March 31, 2025, 57,380,119 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock.
Stock Repurchase Programs
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair did not repurchase any shares of Class A Common stock under the authorized repurchase programs.
7. Equity-Based Compensation
In April 2023, Wayfair’s stockholders approved the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “2023 Plan”) to replace Wayfair’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan” and, together with the 2023 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). The Incentive Plans were adopted by the board of directors (the “Board”) to grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible participants in order to attract, motivate and retain talent. The Incentive Plans are administered by the Board for awards to non-employee directors and by the compensation committee of the Board for other participants and provide for the issuance of equity-based awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards and stock payments.
As of March 31, 2025, 8,856,478 shares of Class A common stock remained available for future grant under the 2023 Plan.
The following table presents activity relating to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value |

Equity-based compensation costs capitalized as software costs were $6 million and $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
8. Loss per Share
Wayfair follows the two-class method when computing earnings or loss per share for its two issued classes of common stock - Class A and Class B. Basic earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period and stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debt instruments. Wayfair's common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debt instruments are included in the calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share under the if-converted method.
For periods in which Wayfair has reported net losses, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effects of common stock equivalents outstanding and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments are antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.
Wayfair allocates undistributed earnings between the classes on a one-to-one basis when computing earnings or loss per share. As a result, basic and diluted earnings or loss per share per Class A and Class B shares are equivalent.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Shares related to convertible debt instruments | | | | | | 28 | | | 36 | | | |
Total | | | | | | 30 | | | 40 | | | |
Wayfair may settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or any combination thereof at its election. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of Wayfair's Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of the Convertible Notes to the extent the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Calls (which corresponds to the initial conversion prices of the Convertible Notes, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls), with such reduction and/or offset capped at the Initial Cap Price.
For more information on the structure of the Notes and the Capped Calls, see Note 4, Debt and Other Financing.
9. Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Wayfair’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
Wayfair's operating and reportable segments are the U.S. and International. These segments reflect the way the CODM allocates resources and evaluates financial performance, which is based upon each segment's Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, provision or benefit for income taxes, non-recurring items and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance. These charges are excluded from the evaluation of segment performance because it facilitates reportable segment performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess segment performance while deciding how to allocate resources as a benchmark to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of Wayfair’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Wayfair allocates certain operating expenses to the operating and reportable segments, including customer service and merchant fees and selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses based on the usage and relative contribution provided to the segments. It excludes from the allocations certain operating expense lines, including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, impairment and other related net charges and restructuring charges, as well as interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, gain or loss on debt extinguishment and provision or benefit for income taxes. There are no net revenue transactions between Wayfair's reportable segments.
U.S.
The U.S. segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's family of sites in the U.S.
International
The International segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's international sites.
Net revenue from external customers for each group of similar products and services are not reported to the CODM. Separate identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is impractical, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would be excessive. No individual country outside the U.S. provided greater than 10% of consolidated net revenue.
The following tables present net revenue, significant segment expenses and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Wayfair’s reportable segments for the periods presented: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Overview
Wayfair is the destination for all things home. Through our e-commerce business model, we offer visually inspired browsing, compelling merchandising, easy product discovery and attractive prices for over 30 million products from over 20 thousand suppliers.
We believe an increasing portion of the dollars spent on home goods will be spent online and that there is an opportunity for acquiring more market share. Our business model is designed to grow our net revenue by acquiring new customers as well as stimulating repeat purchases from our existing customers. Through increasing brand awareness as well as paid and unpaid advertising, we attract new and repeat customers to our family of sites. We aim to turn these customers into recurring shoppers by creating a seamless shopping experience across their entire journey — offering best-in-class product discovery, purchasing, fulfillment and customer service.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net revenue increased by 0.04% compared to the same period in 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we had 21 million active customers and during the three months ended March 31, 2025, 80.2% of orders came from repeat buyers. The increased sales were due to higher average order value, partially offset by lower volume, which was driven by challenges in the category such as macroeconomic pressures, including consumer spending patterns and housing market conditions, compared to the same period in 2024. We also continued to manage our advertising spend according to a return on investment-oriented approach that carefully tracks and monitors the results of advertising campaigns as we seek to maintain appropriate return targets.
Global Considerations
As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our business is subject to risks related to trade policy, including new or increased tariffs by the United States (“U.S.”) and/or other foreign governments. Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries, including the home goods category, and multiple nations have announced tariffs and other actions in response. Trade negotiations are ongoing, but overall the global trade environment remains fluid and highly uncertain. Despite this uncertainty, we believe the structural characteristics of our retail platform position us to capture incremental market share within a category that is largely unbranded and highly substitutable. We have and will continue to partner with our suppliers to help them strategize and deliver value for our customers.
Further, we continue to closely monitor additional macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, general economic instability, changes in tax laws or regulations or other governmental actions or policies, sustained higher interest rates and inflationary pressures, on our business, results of operations and financial results. These developments have and may continue to negatively impact global economic activity and consumer behavior, which have and may continue to adversely affect our business and our results of operations. As our customers react to these global economic conditions, we may take additional precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity.
While it is difficult to quantify and predict the impacts of these global and domestic economic events, including fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures and changes in global trade policy on our business and to predict consumer spending in the near term, we believe the long-term opportunity that we see for shopping for the home online remains unchanged.
We will continue to monitor economic conditions as we work to manage our business to meet the evolving needs of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities.
Factors Affecting our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Key Financial Statement and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using the key financial statement and operating metrics that are reflected in the below table. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding our use of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure that is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or “GAAP.”
Our Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share are measured on a consolidated basis, while our Adjusted EBITDA is measured on a consolidated and reportable segment basis. All other key financial statement and operating metrics are derived and reported from our consolidated net revenue.
We use the following metrics to assess the near and longer-term performance of our overall business: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) The number of active customers represents the total number of individual customers who have purchased at least once directly from our sites during the preceding twelve-month period. The change in active customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the last twelve months. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth.
(2) Last twelve months (“LTM”) net revenue per active customer represents our total net revenue in the last twelve months divided by our total number of active customers for the same preceding twelve-month period. We view LTM net revenue per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.
(3) Orders delivered represent the total orders delivered in any period, inclusive of orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and as such we estimate delivery dates based on historical data. We recognize net revenue when an order is delivered, and therefore orders delivered, together with average order value, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to recognize in a given period. We view orders delivered as a key indicator of our growth.
(4) We define average order value as total net revenue in a given period divided by the orders delivered in that period. We view average order value as a key indicator of the mix of products on our sites, the mix of offers and promotions and the purchasing behavior of our customers.
Results of Consolidated Operations
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
Net revenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net revenue increased by $1 million, or was close to flat, compared to the same period in 2024, representing a marginal increase amid persistent macroeconomics pressures on consumers. The increase in net revenue is due to higher average order value, partially offset by lower order volume, which was driven by challenges in the category such as macroeconomic pressures, including consumer spending patterns and housing market conditions, compared to the same period in 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our U.S. net revenue increased by 1.6%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our International net revenue decreased by 10.9% compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the exit of our German business. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, International Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth was (7.1)% (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding our use of Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth).

Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold is sensitive to many factors, including quarter-to-quarter variability in product mix, pricing strategies, changes in wholesale, shipping and fulfillment costs, including associated applicable customs duties and fees earned for supplier services rendered. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cost of goods sold decreased by $17 million, or 0.9%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in cost of goods sold is driven by lower order volume and a benefit recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to a resolution on the valuation of duties, compared to the same period in 2024.
As a percentage of net revenue, cost of goods sold decreased to 69.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 70.0% in the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower order volume.

Customer Service and Merchant Fees
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, excluding the impact of equity-based compensation, our expenses for customer service and merchant fees decreased by $7 million, or 6.3%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in customer service and merchant fees is primarily due to decreased compensation costs, driven by workforce reductions.
As a percentage of net revenue, total customer service and merchant fees decreased to 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 4.3% in the same period in 2024 primarily due to decreased compensation costs.
Advertising
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our advertising expenses increased by $20 million, or 6.2%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase reflects our response to changing market conditions and renewed investment opportunities as we seek to maintain our return targets across various channels.
As a percentage of net revenue, advertising expenses increased to 12.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 11.9% in the same period in 2024 due to changes in our advertising channel mix as we seek to maximize returns on advertising spend within our efficiency parameters.
Selling, operations, technology, general and administrative
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, excluding the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes, our expenses for selling, operations, technology, general and administrative activities decreased by $50 million, or 12.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to decreased compensation costs, driven by workforce reductions.
As a percentage of net revenue, total selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 19.6% in the same period in 2024, primarily due to decreased compensation costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, restructuring charges decreased by $23 million or 29.1% as compared to the same period in 2024. As a percentage of net revenue, restructuring charges decreased to 2.1% from 2.9% in the same period in 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $56 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance, benefits, relocation and transition costs. This is inclusive of $40 million related to the Germany Restructuring and $16 million related to the March 2025 workforce reduction. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $79 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefit costs associated with the January 2024 workforce reduction.
Interest expense, net
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, interest expense, net increased by $17 million or 283.3%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by the issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes (as defined below) in October 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $1.4 billion. Additionally, we have a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on March 13, 2030 (the “Revolver”). As of March 31, 2025, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver. We had outstanding letters of credit, primarily as security for certain lease agreements, for $71 million as of March 31, 2025, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Excluding liquidity available through our Revolver, the following table shows sources of liquidity for the periods presented: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, | | December 31, |
| | 2025 | | 2024 |

Short-term investments | | 30 | | | 56 | |
Total liquidity | | $ | 1,368 | | | $ | 1,372 | |
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments, cash generated from operations and the borrowing availability under our Revolver will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the foreseeable future including planned capital expenditures, contractual obligations and other such requirements. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, we may elect to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. Further, we may from time to time seek to retire, restructure, repurchase or redeem, or otherwise mitigate the equity dilution associated with our outstanding convertible debt through cash purchases, stock buybacks of some or all of the shares underlying convertible notes and/or exchanges for equity or debt in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, exchanges or liability management exercises, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices and sizes as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in our Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, macroeconomic events have caused disruption in the capital markets, including increased inflation and interest rates, which could make obtaining financing more difficult and/or expensive. As a consequence, we may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements, those securities and instruments may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and the holders of our equity securities may experience dilution. We will continue to monitor our liquidity during this time of historic disruption and volatility in the global capital markets.
Credit Agreement and Debt Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, we had $3.3 billion principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our indebtedness includes unsecured 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), unsecured 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), unsecured 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), unsecured 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”), 7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”) and 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Secured Notes”, together with the 2029 Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes” and together with the Convertible Notes, the “Notes”).
Under the terms of our Revolver, we may use proceeds to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide funds for permitted acquisitions, repurchases of equity interests and other general corporate purposes. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity.
On March 13, 2025, Wayfair LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of Wayfair, issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes will mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms or repurchased. The indenture contains covenants that restrict the Issuer’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other
distributions or restricted payments, make certain investments, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, agree to certain restrictions on the ability of the Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments, sell or transfer certain assets and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or its restricted subsidiaries’ assets.
On March 14, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Secured Notes, we repurchased $578 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. See Note 4, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on debt and other financing transactions.
The conditional conversion features of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025, therefore, the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2025 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price conditions.
Whether any of the Convertible Notes will be convertible in future quarters will depend on the satisfaction of the applicable last reported sales price condition or another conversion condition in the future. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes at a time when any such Convertible Notes are convertible, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity.
The credit agreement and indentures governing our convertible notes contain restrictions and covenants that may limit our operating flexibility. Specifically, the Revolver contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on our assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of our businesses. The Revolver also requires us to maintain certain levels of performance in order to maintain our access to the Revolver. For instance, we are required to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolver) of 4.0 to 1.0, subject to a 0.5 step-up following certain permitted acquisitions. For information regarding our credit agreement and debt agreements, see Note 4, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 6, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our debt agreements.
Stock Repurchase Program
On August 21, 2020, the board of directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $700 million of our Class A common stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan (the “2020 Repurchase Program”). On August 10, 2021, the Board authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program on the same terms (the “2021 Repurchase Program” together with the 2020 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). There is no stated expiration date for the Share Repurchase Programs. We will begin repurchasing shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program upon the completion of the 2020 Repurchase Program.
The Repurchase Programs do not obligate us to purchase any shares of our Class A common stock and have no expiration but may be suspended or terminated by the Board at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Programs in the future will be determined by us in our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our capital needs and whether there is a better alternative use of capital. As of March 31, 2025, we have repurchased 2,354,491 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $612 million under the Repurchase Programs.
Trends and Historical Cash Flows

Net cash used in by investing activities | | $ | (17) | | | $ | (75) | | | |
Net cash provided by financing activities | | $ | 140 | | | $ | — | | | |
Operating Activities
Cash flows in connection with operating activities consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other non-cash expenses, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Operating cash flows can be volatile and are sensitive to many factors, including changes in working capital and our net loss.
Cash flows used in by operating activities decreased by $43 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $68 million, partially offset by an increase of $25 million for cash changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $58 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to increases in sales and maturities of short- and long-term investments of $29 million, decreases in purchases of short- and long-term investments of $18 million and decreases in purchases of property and equipment and site and software development costs of $11 million.
Purchases of property and equipment and site and software development costs (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”) were 1.6% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and related primarily to equipment purchases and improvements for leased warehouses within our expanding logistics network and ongoing investments, including our physical retail store expansion, proprietary technology and operational platform.
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $140 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in cash provided by is due to net proceeds from the issuance of debt of $691 million, partially offset by payments to extinguish debt of $551 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities. We do not have any off-balance sheet interest in variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.
Contractual Obligations
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Secured Notes and repurchased $578 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. See Note 4, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Other than these financing transactions, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and estimates as compared to the contractual obligations described in Contractual Obligations included in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, provision or benefit for income taxes, non-recurring items and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the Board to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. For instance, we exclude the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes as we do not consider this item to be indicative of our core operating performance. Investors should, however, understand that equity-based compensation and related taxes will be a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect equity-based compensation and related taxes;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our working capital;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expenses associated with our borrowings;
•Adjusted EBITDA does not include other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance; and
•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income or loss and our other GAAP results.
The following table reflects the reconciliation of net income or loss to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Three Months Ended March 31, |

(1) | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded net charges of $23 million, inclusive of $20 million associated with the Germany Restructuring and weakened macroeconomic conditions in connection with our German operations and $3 million associated with changes in sublease market conditions for a technology center in the U.S. See Note 2, Supplemental Financial Statement Disclosures, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q |
(2) | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $56 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance, benefits, relocation and transition costs. This is inclusive of $40 million related to the Germany Restructuring and $16 million related to the March 2025 workforce reduction. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $79 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefit costs associated with the January 2024 workforce reduction. |
(3) | During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a $25 million gain on debt extinguishment upon repurchase of $578 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. |
Free Cash Flow
We calculate Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less Capital Expenditures. We have provided a reconciliation below of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by or used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We disclose Free Cash Flow because it is an important indicator of our business performance as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool because it omits certain components of the cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Free Cash Flow differently. Accordingly, you should not consider Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Free Cash Flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net cash provided by or used in operating activities, Capital Expenditures, and our other GAAP results.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by or used in operating activities to Free Cash Flow for each of the periods indicated: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Three Months Ended March 31, |
| | | | | | 2025 | | 2024 | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | (in millions) |
Net cash used in operating activities | | | | | | $ | (96) | | | $ | (139) | | | |
Purchase of property and equipment | | | | | | (5) | | | (13) | | | |
Site and software development costs | | | | | | (38) | | | (41) | | | |
Free Cash Flow | | | | | | $ | (139) | | | $ | (193) | | | |
Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth
We calculate Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth by translating the current period local currency net revenue by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period.
We disclose Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth because it is an important indicator of our operating results. Accordingly, we believe that Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth rates, by their nature, exclude the impact of foreign exchange, which may have a material impact on net revenue.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share
We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share as net income or loss plus equity-based compensation and related taxes, provision or benefit for income taxes, non-recurring items, other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share. Accordingly, we believe that these adjustments to our adjusted diluted net income or loss before calculating per share amounts for all periods presented provide a more meaningful comparison between our operating results from period to period.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share, by their nature, excludes equity-based compensation and related taxes, provision or benefit for income taxes, non-recurring items, other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share alongside other financial performance measures.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2024. See Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For information about recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk since December 31, 2024. See Part II, Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion on our exposures to market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in litigation matters and other legal claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Litigation and legal claims are inherently unpredictable and cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, and regardless of the outcome, these matters can be costly and time consuming, as they can divert management's attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting our overall operations. In addition, we may be at greater risk to outside party claims as we increase our operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable or unclear.
We do not believe that the outcome of any legal matters to which we are presently a party will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this report, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Recent Purchases of Equity Securities
See Part II, Item 5, Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Certain Information Regarding the Trading of Our Common Stock included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for information regarding our authorized share repurchase programs. As of March 31, 2025, the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the authorized share repurchase programs is $1.1 billion. There were no repurchases made during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
