CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$NEGG #newegg–Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEGG), a leading global technology e-commerce retailer, today announced results for the six months ended June 30, 2023.


“We continued to experience weaker than expected demand for consumer technology products and finished goods during the first half of 2023 as consumers remain cautious in the current macroeconomic environment,” said Newegg CEO Anthony Chow. “In light of the challenging environment, we continued to make progress on several key cost saving initiatives designed to protect our bottom line. For example, in June 2023, we terminated the lease of one of our Southern California warehouses as part of our ongoing effort to optimize our real estate footprint and improve overall utilization rates. In the same month, we also closed escrow on an office building in Diamond Bar, California, where we intend to relocate our corporate headquarters in 2024. Through the first six months of 2023, we realized SG&A savings of $23 million compared to the first six months of 2022, and we expect to realize additional cost savings for the remainder of 2023 and beyond as a result of these and other payroll and warehouse optimization measures.”

Newegg Chief Accounting Officer Christina Ching added, “In addition to our cost optimization initiatives, we continue to remain keenly focused on maintaining healthy inventory turnover and a strong cash position. We reduced our net inventory balance from $179 million as of June 30, 2022 to $138 million as of June 30, 2023. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2023, we had $51.8 million in cash on hand and $75 million in revolving credit availability under our credit agreement, which we believe is sufficient to cover our current working capital requirements.”

2023 First Half Financial Highlights

  • Net sales decreased 18.8% to $723.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $890.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  • GMV (defined below) decreased 21.8% to $882.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1,128.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  • Gross profit decreased 26.6% to $81.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $110.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  • Net loss was $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (defined below) decreased to $(10.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $(3.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

2023 First Half Operational Metrics

  • Average order value was $390 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $444 for same period in prior year.
  • Active customers, defined as unique customer IDs with at least one item purchased on Newegg platforms in the past 6 months, totaled approximately 1.3 million as of June 30, 2023, a decrease from 1.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
  • Repeat purchase rate, which is the percentage of active customers who made at least two purchases on Newegg platforms during the past 6 months, was 27.9% as of June 30, 2023, compared to 27.1% for the same period in the prior year.

Mr. Chow added, “Despite broad macroeconomic challenges, Newegg continues to prioritize the use of cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence (‘AI’) and machine learning, across our services and platforms to support a better customer experience. To date, we’ve developed innovative AI solutions to, among other things, summarize customer product reviews, make purchase recommendations through our PC Builder shopping tool, and manage quality assurance on our marketplace seller listings. We have also started to deploy robotics in our warehouses, which we expect to reduce our fulfillment time and costs to better serve our customers throughout North America. Newegg continues to push forward on a number of innovative initiatives that we believe will position the company for long-term growth.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release presents certain “non-GAAP” financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules attached hereto.

GMV

The Company defines gross merchandise value, or GMV, as the total dollar value of products sold on its websites and third-party marketplace platforms, directly to customers and by its Marketplace sellers through Newegg Marketplace, net of returns, discounts, taxes, and cancellations. GMV also includes the services fees charged through its Newegg Partner Services (“NPS”) in rendering services for its third-party logistics (“3PL”), shipped-by-Newegg (“SBN”), staffing and media ad services, as well as the sales made by its Asia subsidiaries.

Adjusted EBITDA

Newegg calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss, excluding stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, net, income tax (benefit) provision, gain/loss from warrants liabilities, gain/loss from sales of investment, impairment of equity investment, and loss (income) from equity investment.

Newegg believes that exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that it does not consider to be indicative of its core operating performance. Accordingly, Newegg believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same manner as its management and board of directors.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Newegg’s 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 changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to Newegg; 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, operating profit and Newegg’s other GAAP results.
