| We also expect that over time, this will help increase our annual order per active customer |
| I think we did better than expected on our mobile app downloads |
| So that group is very encouraging to us because as they grow, that will grow that legacy Overstock business as well |
| The bed bath and kitchen categories, led the improvement in our orders’ performance and furniture remains one of our top categories as we see potential for further upside |
| We're pleased to share details about our path forward and how we are capturing the many opportunities we see ahead while also addressing areas of the business where we need to see improvements |
| The number of customers that downloaded the mobile app was great and their usage is great |
| As I've consistently said, I'm confident Pelion will nurture and deliver some winners from the early-stage companies in the fund |
| We also believe these actions can help us drive AOV from under $200 to an aspirational $250 level over time, as we work to reverse any downward furniture trend without slowing down soft goods sales |
| Our average monthly sales trends are up three times, compared to Q2 and the business is on a solid trajectory to scale |
| I mentioned in my in my prepared remarks, improving our CRM capabilities, I think that lets us personalize and send our messages in a meaningful way for repeat |
| Our balance sheet remains strong |
| This is the most encouraging cohort in our view |
| We're seeing great success on that |
| With the acquisitions of Bed Bath & Beyond brands, we are combining a well,-recognized consumer brand synonymous with home with an advantageous asset light operational model |
| The mobile app sales increased by 55% over Q2 and Q4 continues to track strong |
| And that's we feel confident saying that what we're experiencing and that's what we expect |
| We feel strongly that our tribal knowledge and the white space around this business model makes this the right move |
| And in the meantime, I'm really excited for our top of funnel marketing campaign that's launching next week even with a sitting CMO, we've done, a really neat job and a good job with this campaign |
| We anticipate that over time brand awareness, growing mobile app adoption and hands loyalty offerings and higher engagement in the future seasonal periods will help grow order frequency |
| The increase in our customer base enabled us to return to year-over-year order growth for the first time in over two years |
| The power of the brand is really strong |
| Our Canada team has been able to drive this growth even without a mobile app or loyalty program, both capabilities, which are on our 2024 product roadmap |
| Our team has a terrific lineup of deals on key brands and we will leverage the brand to serve our customers and capture market share |
| I think the team we have in place is doing a nice job during the rebrand |
| Growing this customer file is really important, it will help us grow top-line |
| That speaks to the power of this brand |
| For Q4, we expect revenue to improve modestly versus our 3Q year-over-year decline |
| This group had the highest average order size and they have found us in the initial stages of the brand launch |
| We have learned that many new supplier partners are eager to engage in our newly acquired brand and see the importance of growing and improving our relationship with our loyal legacy supplier base |
| Those have the highest repeat rates |

| This decline in active customers was driven by two key factors; a shift and spending preferences as consumers continue to spend on experiences and services; and second, a weak macro environment and housing environment |
| Underlying results continue to be influenced by macro factors and weakness across the furniture and home furnishings industry, driven by low consumer engagement in the category, a shift in spending preferences and a weak housing market |
| Revenue declined 19% year-over-year in the third quarter |
| On a margin basis, this was an almost 1,000 basis point decline year-over-year, approximately 50% of the adjusted EBITDA margin decline was driven by gross margin pressure, resulting from the customer acquisition strategies referenced earlier |
| Our mid-quarter update outlined mid-teens decline in year-over-year revenue, which included performance over the Labor Day weekend |
| This is a decrease of 22% compared to the prior year and largely driven by a weaker macro and lower consumer spending compared to last year |
| Average order value declined 21% year-over-year to $192, mainly driven by a pronounced order mix to lower AUR categories |
| In the third quarter, we delivered an adjusted EBITDA loss of $24 million, a decrease of $39 million versus a year ago |
| Additionally, it would have created confusion for our supplier partners and required challenging operational workarounds, which would have resulted in negative impact to the customer and delivery experience |
| As expected, the legacy Bed, Bath & Beyond file was dilutive to contribution margin as we invested in significant mobile app download campaign offers and bonus welcome rewards promotions to drive conversion |
| This deleverage was mainly driven by lower revenue compared to last year |
| It looks like the Streets modeling, gross margins shy of that 22% range and negative margins versus positive |
| It would have severely damaged search engine rankings on Google and other search engines and taken several months to complete |
| The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by two factors, higher discounting and promotional activity related to customer acquisition strategies like the app exclusives 25% off coupon and freight cost deleverage driven by orders mixing into lower AUR categories |
| We chose not to pursue a deal at the time and subsequently watched and continued to monitor as it struggled with declining same-store sales and overwhelming debt |
| Gross profit was $70 million in the third quarter, a decrease of $37 million versus the prior year |
| We expected this group to account for the lowest percent of our orders as we spent much of the quarter warming up the email list for this group |
| The balance of the margin decline was associated with fixed cost deleverage on a lower revenue base and higher marketing cost compared to last year |
| AOV declined 21% with mix of orders skewing to lower AUR categories, following our brand launch |
| Our active customer base was $4.9 million, a decrease of 15% year-over-year |
