Highlights for the Quarter Ended October 29, 2023:

• Net sales increased 14.3% in the third quarter primarily driven by growth within our Showroom and Internet channels. Showroom net sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierges, increased 18.9%. Internet net sales increased 20.1%, and our “Other” channel which principally includes pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops decreased 17.1%. The increase in net sales was driven by new showroom openings and an increase of 2.0% in omni-channel comparable net sales related to higher promotional discounting and marketing campaigns. During the thirteen weeks ended October 29, 2023, we opened 10 additional showrooms and closed 1 showroom and 2 kiosks.

• Gross profit increased $23.5 million, or 36.3%, to $88.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 from $64.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Gross margin increased 920 basis points to 57.4% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 from 48.2% of net sales in the prior year period primarily driven by a decrease of approximately 1,070 basis points in total distribution and related tariff expense, partially offset by a decrease of 150 basis points in product margin driven by higher promotional discounting. The decrease in total distribution and related tariff expenses over prior year is principally related to the positive impact of the 1,160 basis points decrease in inbound transportation costs partially offset by 90 basis points in higher outbound transportation and warehousing costs.

• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales increased by 420 basis points due to investments in payroll, selling related expenses, infrastructure, restatement related costs, and other professional fees. Selling related expenses includes customer financing fees which increased $1.5 million, or 25.0%, to $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 from $6.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
  
• Advertising and marketing expense increased 10.8% due to continued investments in marketing spend to support our net sales growth including our 25th anniversary brand campaign. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing decreased by 40 basis points.
• Operating loss was $3.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to operating loss of $10.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating margin was (2.3)% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to (7.4)% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
  
• Net loss was $2.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 or $(0.15) net loss per diluted share compared to net loss of $7.4 million or $(0.48) net loss per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.0 million, compared to $2.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. The change in benefit is primarily driven by the Company generating net loss before taxes of $3.3 million and $10.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.
  

Highlights for the Year-to-date Period Ended October 29, 2023:

• Net sales increased 9.0% primarily driven by growth within our Showroom and Internet channels. Showroom net sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierges, increased 9.3%. Internet net sales increased 21.5%, and our “Other” channel which principally includes pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops, decreased 14.9%. The increase in net sales was driven by new showroom openings, partially offset by a decrease of 3.6% in omni-channel comparable net sales. During the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2023, we opened 44 additional showrooms, closed 4 showrooms and 5 kiosks. The Company opened 48 new showrooms, closed 7 kiosks, and opened 19 additional Best Buy shop-in-shop locations in the twelve months preceding October 30, 2023.
  

• Gross profit increased $41.4 million, or 19.7%, to $251.4 million in the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023 from $210.0 million in the prior year period. Gross margin increased 500 basis points to 55.9% of net sales in the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023 from 50.9% of net sales in the prior year period driven primarily by a decrease of approximately 610 basis points in total distribution and related tariff expenses partially offset by a decrease of 110 basis points in product margin driven by higher promotional discounting. The decrease in total distribution and related tariff expenses over the prior year is principally related to the positive impact of the 750 basis points decrease in inbound transportation costs partially offset by 140 basis points in higher outbound transportation and warehousing costs.
  

• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales increased by 610 basis points due to investments in payroll, selling related expenses, infrastructure, restatement related costs, and other professional fees. Selling related expenses includes customer financing fees which increased $5.3 million, or 32.0%, to $22.0 million in the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023 from $16.7 million in the prior year period.

• Net loss was $7.1 million in the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023 or $(0.46) net loss per diluted share compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.02 net income per diluted share in the prior year period. During the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2.3 million, compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million for the prior year period. The change in provision is primarily driven by the Company generating net loss before taxes of $9.3 million and net income before taxes of $0.4 million in the year-to-date period ended October 29, 2023 and October 30, 2022, respectively.
  

Other Financial Highlights as of October 29, 2023:

Non-GAAP Information:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that is a supplemental measure of financial performance not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include management fees, equity-based compensation expense, write-offs of property and equipment, deferred rent, financing expenses and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure within the schedules attached hereto. Statements regarding our expectations as to fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA do not include certain charges and costs. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include equity-based compensation expense and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing of certain events that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company’s control.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of our business, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of our actual results on a period-over-period basis and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We have provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations alongside GAAP measures such as gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Other companies in our industry may calculate these items differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
