Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes. The December 31, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These changes had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements for any period. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Warby Parker Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company has consolidated certain entities meeting the definition of a variable interest entity as the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the entities. The inclusion of these entities does not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to (i) the valuation of inventory, including the determination of the net realizable value, (ii) the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, (iii) the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances, and (iv) assumptions related to the valuation of common stock and determination of stock-based compensation. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company defines its CODM as its co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company has identified one operating segment. When evaluating the Company’s performance and allocating resources, the CODM relies on financial information prepared on a consolidated basis. Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Suppliers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various accounts, which, at times, may exceed the limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $250 thousand per institution and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation of $100 thousand Canadian dollars. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, uninsured cash balances were approximately $214.6 million and $207.0 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced any concentration losses related to its cash and cash equivalents to date. The Company seeks to minimize its credit risk by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions and monitoring the credit standing of such institutions. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company opened accounts with additional financial institutions to diversify its cash holdings. The Company’s top five inventory suppliers accounted for approximately 13% and 20% of cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks and financial institutions, money market funds, and receivables from credit card issuers, which are typically converted into cash within two to four days of capture. As such, these receivables are recorded as a deposit in transit as a component of cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance of receivables from credit card issuers included within cash and cash equivalents was $5.3 million and $11.1 million, respectively. Inventory Inventory consists of approximately $12.6 million and $16.1 million of finished goods, including ready-to-wear sun frames, contact lenses, and eyeglass cases, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and approximately $51.0 million and $52.7 million of component parts, including optical frames and prescription optical lenses, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory and makes adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The estimated net realizable value of inventory is determined based on an analysis of historical sales trends, the impact of market trends and economic conditions, a forecast of future demand, and the estimated timing of product retirements. Adjustments for damaged inventory are recorded primarily based on actual damaged inventory. Adjustments for inventory shrink, representing the physical loss of inventory, include estimates based on historical experience, and are adjusted based upon physical inventory counts. However, unforeseen adverse future economic and market conditions could result in actual results differing materially from estimates. Investments In August 2023, the Company invested $1.0 million in a private optical equipment company. As part of this investment, the Company will automatically receive shares of the entity or cash based on a conversion price dependent upon an ultimate conversion event. The investment is recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and is measured at cost less impairment, if any. No impairment has been recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cloud-Based Software Implementation Costs The Company has entered into cloud-based software hosting arrangements for which it incurs implementation costs. Certain costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and included within prepaid expenses and other current assets or other assets, depending on the long or short-term nature of such costs, in line with the Company's policy on the accounting for prepaid software hosting arrangements. Costs incurred during the preliminary project stage and post-implementation stage are expensed as incurred. Capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs are amortized, beginning on the date the related software or module is ready for its intended use, on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the hosting arrangement as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses, the same line item as the expense for the associated hosting arrangement. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $12.8 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $1.9 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $10.9 million, made up of $4.3 million recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $6.6 million recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $11.1 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $0.3 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $10.8 million, made up of $2.6 million recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $8.2 million recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred $0.9 million and $1.7 million of amortization of capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs, respectively. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $0.1 million of amortization of capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs. Revenue Recognition The Company primarily derives revenue from the sales of eyewear products, optical services, and accessories. The Company sells products and services through its stores, website, and mobile apps. Revenue generated from eyewear products includes the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, eyewear accessories, and expedited shipping charges, which are charged to the customer, associated with these purchases. Revenue generated from services consists of both in-person eye exams and prescriptions issued through the Virtual Vision Test app. All revenue is reported net of sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities and variable consideration, including returns and discounts. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through either the transfer of control of promised goods or the rendering of services to the Company's customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product, which is generally determined to be the point of delivery or upon rendering of the service in the case of eye exams. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. In the normal course of business, payment may be collected from the customer prior to recognizing revenue and such cash receipts are included in deferred revenue until the order is delivered to the customer. Substantially all of the deferred revenue included on the balance sheet at December 31, 2022 was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2023 and the Company expects substantially all of the deferred revenue at September 30, 2023 to be recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. The Company’s sales policy allows customers to return merchandise for any reason within 30 days of receipt, generally for an exchange or refund. An allowance is recorded within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for expected future customer returns which the Company estimates using historical return patterns and its expectation of future returns. Any difference between the actual return and previous estimates is adjusted in the period in which such returns occur. Historical return estimates have not materially differed from actual returns in any of the periods presented. The allowance for returns was $2.1 million and $2.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company offers non-expiring gift cards to its customers. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are initially deferred and recognized within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are recognized as revenue when the product is received by the customer after the gift card has been tendered for payment. Based on historical experience, and to the extent there is no requirement to remit unclaimed card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, an estimate of the gift card balances that will never be redeemed is recognized as revenue in proportion to gift cards which have been redeemed. While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. The balance of unredeemed gift cards was $2.7 million and $3.6 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Leases The Company records a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset at lease commencement. The lease liability is measured at the present value of non-cancellable future lease payments over the lease term, minus expected tenant improvement allowances (“TIAs”) determined to be lease incentives. The ROU asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for prepaid lease payments, TIAs expected to be received, and any initial direct costs. When calculating the present value of future lease payments, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate, which incorporates several factors including the lease term, U.S. Treasury bond rates, financial ratios related to earnings and cash flows, and other comparisons with similarly sized companies. Many of the Company’s leases contain TIA provisions, which represent contractual amounts receivable from a lessor for improvements to the leased property made by the Company which are determined to represent lease incentives. The Company considers the collection of TIAs to be reasonably certain, and includes them in the present value calculation when determining the lease liabilities for new leases. The benefit from a TIA is amortized through rent expense over the term of the related lease. The recognition of rent expense for an operating lease commences on the date at which control and possession of the property is obtained. Rent expense is calculated by recognizing total fixed minimum rental payments, net of any TIAs or other rental concessions, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s retail leases contain percent of sales rent or similar provisions, which is recognized as incurred as variable rent. Retail, optical laboratory, and distribution center rent expense is recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and all other rent expense is recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has not adopted nor are there any recently issued accounting pronouncements that had or are anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
