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, 2024 and the related notes. The December 31, 2024 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. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the related notes. 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 U.S. GAAP requires 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, the valuation of inventory, including the determination of the net realizable value, the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, income taxes and valuation allowances, and assumptions related to the valuation of common stock and determination of stock-based compensation. 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, uninsured cash balances were approximately $264.0 million and $252.6 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. The Company’s top five inventory suppliers accounted for approximately 14% and 17% of cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits with banks and financial institutions, money market funds, and receivables from credit card issuers and payment processors, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of cash and cash equivalents for these items was $10.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively. Inventory Inventory consists of approximately $12.8 million and $12.9 million of finished goods, including ready-to-wear sun frames, Scout by Warby Parker contact lenses, and eyeglass cases, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and approximately $35.8 million and $39.4 million of component parts, including optical frames and prescription optical lenses, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 2023 and 2024, the Company invested $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in a private optical equipment company. As part of these investments, the Company will automatically receive shares of the entity or cash based on a conversion price dependent upon an ultimate conversion event. The investments are recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and are measured at cost less impairment, if any. No impairment has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Cloud-Based Software Implementation Costs The Company enters 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. All other related costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis, from the date the related software or module is ready for its intended use through the end of the contractual term of the hosting arrangement, inclusive of any reasonably certain renewal periods, as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses, the same line item as the expense for the associated hosting arrangement. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $14.3 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $7.1 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $7.2 million, made up of $2.9 million recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $4.3 million recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $13.6 million of gross capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs and $6.4 million of related accumulated amortization, for a net balance of $7.2 million, made up of $2.8 million recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $4.4 million recorded within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $1.1 million of amortization of capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs, respectively. Asset Impairment Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets, and capitalized cloud-based software implementation costs, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses in the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset group. The Company considers each store location to be its own asset group when evaluating for impairment. Asset impairment charges, recorded as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses, were $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily related to the write off of assets at retail stores and corporate offices. Revenue Recognition The Company primarily derives revenue from the sales of eyewear and vision care through its stores, website, and mobile apps. Revenue generated from eyewear includes the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, eyewear accessories, lens replacements, and customer charges for optional expedited shipping. Revenue generated from vision care consists of 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, 2024 was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2025 and the Company expects substantially all of the deferred revenue at March 31, 2025 to be recognized as revenue in the second quarter of 2025. 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 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 $2.8 million and $2.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 $2.6 million and $3.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by product:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes. The guidance requires public entities to annually disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and provide additional disclosures for income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 and can be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company plans to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of its 2025 fiscal year, which will result in additional income tax disclosures, including those related to the rate reconciliation, within the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The guidance requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
