CEO Comments
John Reed, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer,
commented,
“We are very pleased with our first quarter 2023 performance and
are reaffirming our full year 2023 outlook. In addition to the
notable performance in our revenue and earnings, our first quarter
demand comparable growth(2) was 5.6%, with growth in the first two
months of the year up high-single-digits and flat in March. In
April, our demand comparable growth was flat.
“We believe that our strong debt-free balance sheet positions us
well to successfully navigate the current macroeconomic backdrop
while simultaneously executing on the initiatives that underpin our
long term growth strategy, including multiple new Showroom projects
and new systems upgrades.”
First Quarter 2023 Results
Net revenue increased 23.7% to $305 million, compared to $246
million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was driven by
strong demand in both Showroom and eCommerce sales channels, as
well as delivery of orders in backlog as our supply chain
improves.
Comparable growth(1) was 21.0% and demand comparable growth(2)
was 5.6% in the first quarter of 2023.
Gross margin increased 31.2% to $128 million, compared to $98
million in the first quarter of 2022, driven by higher net revenue,
partially offset by higher variable costs related to the increase
in net revenue, including product, transportation and variable rent
expense as well as higher fixed Showroom costs and credit card fees
related to increased interest rates and demand.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses
increased 10.6%, to $83 million, compared to $75 million in the
first quarter of 2022, primarily driven by increased corporate
expense to support the growth of the business and higher selling
expense related to new Showrooms and demand.
Net and comprehensive income was $34 million compared to $16
million in the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily
driven by higher net revenue, partially offset by the above factors
and higher income tax. Adjusted net income was $34 million in the
first quarter of 2023 compared to $17 million in the first quarter
of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 75.8% to $55 million compared to $31
million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent
of net revenue increased 530 basis points to 18.0% in the first
quarter of 2023, compared to 12.7% in the first quarter of
2022.
The Company ended the quarter with 82 total Showrooms across 29
states. On April 14, 2023, the Company opened its eighty-third
Showroom, a new Design Studio in Naperville, Illinois.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights, as of March 31,
2023
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $145 million, and the Company
had no long-term debt at March 31, 2023. Net merchandise inventory
increased 2.0% to $292 million, compared to $286 million as of
December 31, 2022. Client deposits decreased 2.3% to $198 million,
primarily due to improved delivery of orders in backlog and lower
demand comparable growth(2) in the first quarter.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by
operating activities was $8 million, compared to $35 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in
investing activities was $8 million which includes landlord
contributions of $1 million and company-funded capital
expenditures(3) of $8 million. For the three months ended March 31,
2022, net cash used in investing activities was $10 million, which
included landlord contributions of $2 million and company-funded
capital expenditures of $8 million.

________________________
(1) Comparable growth is a key
performance indicator and is defined as the year-over-year
percentage change of the dollar value of orders delivered (based on
purchase price), net of the dollar value of returns (based on
amount credited to client), from our comparable Showrooms and
eCommerce, including through our direct-mail catalog.(2)
Demand comparable growth is a key performance
indicator and is defined as the year-over-year percentage change of
demand from our comparable Showrooms and eCommerce, including
through our direct-mail catalog.(3) Company-funded capital
expenditures is defined as total net cash used in
investing activities less landlord contributions.(4) U.S. GAAP net
income. (5) We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to
the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide
guidance for the various reconciling items. These items include,
but are not limited to, future share-based compensation expense,
income taxes, and interest expense. We are unable to provide
guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine
their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our
control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that
these items could vary significantly from period to period.
Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial
measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP,
this press release and related tables include adjusted EBITDA,
adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue and adjusted net
income, which present operating results on an adjusted basis.
We use non-GAAP measures to help assess the performance of our
business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate
business plans and make strategic decisions. In addition to our
results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that
providing these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to our
investors as they present an informative supplemental view of our
results from period to period by removing the effect of
non-recurring items. However, our inclusion of these adjusted
measures should not be construed as an indication that our future
results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that
the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or
infrequent or will not recur. These non-GAAP measures are not a
substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use
identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies
and can differ significantly from company to company. These
measures should only be read together with the corresponding GAAP
measures. Please refer to the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA
and adjusted net income to the most directly comparable financial
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP below.
