OVERSTOCK.COM ANNOUNCES GAAP
REVENUE OF $29 MILLION
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2003
Year-over-year GAAP sales
increased 101%
Year-over-year GAAP losses decreased 52%
New streamlined return process to affect future revenue reporting
SALT LAKE CITY, UT July 30, 2003 Overstock.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003.
The Company reported GAAP total revenue of $28.8 million for the quarter, a 101% increase over the $14.4 million recorded in the same period a year ago. Net loss for the second quarter was $1.1 million or $0.07 loss per share compared to $2.4 million or $0.20 loss per share a year earlier.
The year-over-year growth remained strong, and we significantly narrowed our loss this quarter compared to first quarter, said Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com®. Several factors contributed to our improved bottom line: In April we reduced our corporate payroll by 15% to better align expenses with revenues; we restructured or eliminated underperforming marketing programs, which has helped lower our marketing spend; and we improved our gross margins. In short, if this was a four round fight Id say we were unexpectedly dropped to the canvas at the end of the first round, but we got our knees back under us in the second, and we are getting up on our toes again now.
New streamlined return process results in change in revenue recognition
Overstock.com has changed its customer service and return policies and procedures to improve the shopping experience for customers. As a result, the way Overstock.com records revenue on some of its sales will change in the third quarter and thereafter.
2
As of July 1, 2003, the majority of customer returns will be handled through the Companys Salt Lake City warehouse, regardless of whether they were originally shipped by Overstock.com or shipped by an Overstock.com fulfillment partner. In addition, returned products that Overstock.com resells will be shipped to consumers from the Companys warehouse in Utah. As a result of this change, starting with its third quarter 2003 results, Overstock.com will record revenues generated from the Companys fulfillment partners on a gross basis instead of on a net basis as was previously the case. (Prior to the customer service and return policies and procedures change, Overstock.com GAAP gross sales included only the commission portion earned on products shipped by fulfillment partners.)
We have always been committed to delivering a seamless customer experience, and I believe this change is good for Overstock.coms customers because it enables us to exercise comprehensive oversight of the entire consumer experience, said Byrne. This change in operating procedures is causing us to switch our accounting from net treatment to gross treatment on products that are drop-shipped on our behalf. Therefore, third-quarter GAAP revenues will increase dramatically. I emphasize, however, that this does not change the underlying economics of our business one iota, though it may help investors better understand those economics.
