Beyond, Inc. reports fourth quarter 2023 financial results, sees rapid growth in active customer file, delivering positive sales results since Nov. 1

MIDVALE, Utah, Feb. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BYON), owner of Overstock, Bed Bath & Beyond, and other online retail brands designed to unlock your home’s potential, today reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“Over the last 75 days into my tenure, we have made substantial progress laying the foundation for a high growth, differentiated business model with high customer affinity,” said Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman of the Board. “Active customers returned to year-over-year growth for the first time in three years, with over 700,000 customers added to our customer file. Our mandate is to grow our customer file, provide a service level that improves retention and minimizes customer returns. We believe that mandate will result in improved margins and profitability through Beyond.com and our core business. Additionally, as we review our assets and investments, we continue to be optimistic about the value of a few of those investments. As part of that review, we are assessing options related to the portfolio to ensure maximum return for our shareholders. It is our goal to achieve $2 billion of revenue in 2024, and a $3 billion revenue run rate by the end of 2025. This projected revenue improvement, coupled with improved margins and a reduced expense structure provides a clear path to profitability.”

“As a team, we are dissatisfied with the Q4 results and have taken steps to grow revenue, improve margins, and reduce our fixed costs,” said Adrianne Lee, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer. “In December, we announced $25 million of annualized cost reductions. Since that time, we have increased our target to $45 million of annualized expense reduction, freeing up capital to exclusively invest in growth.” 

“Planned investments to support the Bed Bath & Beyond brand launch and reignite our customer file are delivering results,” said Dave Nielsen, CEO of Overstock. “We have accelerated customer acquisition during the quarter, driving a vast improvement in our revenue performance. While we spent the back half of the year launching Bed Bath & Beyond, we’ve simultaneously laid the groundwork to reignite Overstock by the end of the first quarter. We believe the combination of these two anchor brands will contribute to achieving our revenue goals.”

“I joined the company because I’m passionate about Bed Bath & Beyond and am driven to reestablish its category dominance,” said Chandra Holt, CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond and its related brands. “We have significant opportunities ahead of us with our robust portfolio of brands. It is my goal to have Bed Bath & Beyond be a leader in unified commerce, win on home-related assortments, and provide unprecedented value for our customers. I look forward to leading the charge in positioning the business for growth and interacting with the investment community.”

Supplemental Operational Data

We measure our business using operational metrics, in addition to the financial metrics shown above and the non-GAAP financial measures explained below. We believe these metrics provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and provide key performance indicators to track our progress. These indicators include changes in customer order patterns and the mix of products purchased by our customers.

Active customers represent the total number of unique customers who have made at least one purchase during the prior twelve-month period. This metric captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase during the prior twelve-month period.

LTM net revenue per active customer represents total net revenue in a twelve-month period divided by the total number of active customers for the same twelve-month period.

Orders delivered represents the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including 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 in those circumstances, we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.

Average order value is defined as total net revenue in any given period divided by the total number of orders delivered in that period.

Orders per active customer is defined as orders delivered in a twelve-month period divided by active customers for the same twelve-month period.

The following table provides our key operating metrics:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) less the income or losses recognized from our equity method securities, net of related tax. We believe that this adjustment to our net income (loss) before calculating per share amounts for the current period presented provides a useful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. We believe the exclusion of certain benefits and expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities reduced by expenditures for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
