ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please consider the following risk factors carefully. If any one or more of the following risks were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities could decrease significantly. Statements below to the effect that an event could or would harm our business (or have an adverse effect on our business or similar statements) mean that the event could or would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could or would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities. Many of the risks we face involve more than one type of risk. Consequently, you should carefully read all of the risk factors below, and in any reports we file with the SEC after we file this Form 10-K, before making any decision to acquire or hold our securities.

Risks Relating to Our Company and its Operational, Litigation and Regulatory Environment

We depend on third-party companies to perform functions critical to our business, and any failure or increased cost on their part could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on third-party companies, including third-party carriers and a large number of independent fulfillment partners whose products we offer for sale on our Website, to perform functions critical to our ability to deliver products and services to our customers on time and at a reasonable cost. We depend on our carriers and fulfillment partners to perform traditional retail operations such as maintaining inventory, preparing merchandise for shipment to our customers and delivering purchased merchandise on a timely and cost-effective basis. We also depend on the delivery and product assembly services that we and they utilize, on the payment processors that facilitate our customers' payments for their purchases, and on other third parties (including SaaS, IaaS, and other cloud-based third-party service providers) over which we have no control, for the operation of our business. Difficulties with any of our significant fulfillment partners or third-party carriers, delivery or product assembly services, payment processors or any of the third-party service providers involved in our business, regardless of the reason, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We face intense competition and may not be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors.

The online retail market is evolving rapidly and is intensely competitive. Barriers to entry are minimal, and current and new competitors can launch new websites at a relatively low cost. We currently compete with numerous competitors, including:

•online retailers with or without discount departments, including Amazon.com, AliExpress (part of the Alibaba Group), eBay, and Rakuten.com;

•online shopping services, including Google Shopping, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok;

•online specialty retailers such as Wayfair, Build.com, Houzz, Hayneedle, Rugs.com, Groupon, World Market, and Zulily;

•furniture specialists including Bob's Discount Furniture, Havertys, Raymour & Flanigan, At Home, Tuesday Morning, Living Spaces, Nebraska Furniture Mart, RC Willey, and Rooms To Go;

•traditional general merchandise and specialty retailers and liquidators including Ashley Furniture, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Big Lots, Costco, Crate and Barrel, Ethan Allen, Gilt, Home Depot, HomeGoods, Hudson's Bay Company, IKEA, J.C. Penney Company, Kirkland's, Kohl's, Lands' End, Lowe's, Macy's, Nordstrom, Pier 1 Imports, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, Ross Stores, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sears, T.J. Maxx, Target, Walmart, West Elm, and Williams-Sonoma, all of which also have an online presence; and

•online liquidators such as SmartBargains.

We expect that existing and future traditional manufacturers and retailers will continue to add or improve their e-commerce offerings, and that our existing and future e-commerce competitors, including Amazon, will continue to increase their offerings, their delivery capabilities, and the ways in which they enable shoppers to purchase goods, including their mobile technology and the voice-activated shopping services offered by Amazon. Further, large marketplace websites and sites which aggregate marketplace sellers with a large product selection are becoming increasingly popular, and we may not be able to place our products on these sites to take advantage of their internal search platforms and some shoppers may begin their searches at these websites rather than utilize traditional search engines at all. Many of our competitors specialize in one or more of the areas in which we offer products. For example, our furniture offerings compete with numerous retail furniture websites and traditional furniture retail specialists. We also face competition from shopping services such as Google Shopping, which offers products from Walmart, Costco, Target and many other retailers. Competition from our competitors, many of whom have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition, greater access to capital and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do, affects us and has had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

Our business depends on effective marketing, including marketing via email, search engine marketing, influencer marketing, and social media marketing, and our competitors have and may continue to directly increase our marketing costs, may outspend us on marketing, and also have and may continue to cause us to decrease certain types of marketing.

We depend on effective marketing and customer traffic. We depend on search engine marketing, email, and other e-commerce marketing methods to promote our site and offerings and to generate a substantial portion of our revenue. If a significant portion of our target customers no longer utilize email, or if we are unable to effectively and economically deliver email or marketing materials through other channels to our potential customers, whether for legal, regulatory or other reasons, it would have a material adverse effect on our business. We also rely on social media and influencers for marketing purposes, and anything that limits our ability or our customers' ability or desire to utilize social media could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition to competing with us for customers, suppliers, and employees, our competitors have and may continue to directly increase our operating costs, by driving up the cost of various forms of online advertising. Furthermore, our competitors may outspend us on various forms of advertising or marketing, making our marketing efforts less effective. We may elect to decrease our use of search engine marketing or other forms of marketing from time to time in order to decrease our costs, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business. We may also elect to spend additional amounts on search engine marketing or other forms of marketing from time to time in order to increase traffic to our Website, or to take other strategic actions to increase traffic and/or conversion, and such increased spending may not be effective on a cost-benefit basis, or at all. If we are unable to develop, improve, implement and maintain effective and efficient cost-effective advertising and marketing programs, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business.

Numerous potential economic factors, including a recession, other economic downturns, inflation, our increasing exposure to the U.S. housing industry, and the potential for a decrease in consumer spending, have affected and could continue to adversely affect us.

Various potential adverse economic conditions, including a recession, other economic downturns, inflation, and weakness in the U.S. housing market, could decrease consumer discretionary spending and further adversely affect our financial performance. Consumer prices for all items rose 6.5% percent from December 2021 to December 2022. High inflation rates have led to increased interest rates. We believe that our sales of home-related products are affected by the strength of the U.S. housing industry. A recession or other economic downturn, in particular in the U.S. housing industry, has already negatively impacted our sales, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects.Similarly, a substantial portion of the products and services we offer are products or services that consumers may view as discretionary items rather than necessities. As a result, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Difficult macroeconomic conditions also impact our customers' ability to obtain consumer credit. Other factors, including consumer confidence, employment levels, interest rates, fuel and energy costs, tax rates, and consumer debt levels could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. Slowdowns in the U.S. or global economy, or an uncertain economic outlook, could materially adversely affect consumer spending habits, have already negatively impacted our sales, and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects.

Tariffs, bans, the spread of illness, or other measures or events that increase the effective price of products or limit our ability to access products we or our suppliers or fulfillment partners import into the United States could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We and many of our suppliers and fulfillment partners source a large percentage of the products we offer on our Website from China and other countries. If the United States imposes tariffs or bans on imports, or if other factors that are outside of our control increase the prices of imported products sold on our Website or limit our ability to access products sold on our Website, the increased prices and/or supply chain challenges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

The changing job market, the loss of key personnel, the changing job structure, or any inability to attract, retain and engage additional key personnel could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the continued service and performance of our senior management and other key personnel. Our performance also depends on our ability to retain and motivate our officers and key employees. Given the current labor migration trends in the U.S., and more businesses allowing employees to work remotely, we are forced to compete with businesses in other locations and states to attract and retain key employees. We recently announced that under our FORWARD (Future of Remote Work and Re-entry Design) Plan, most of our local workforce will increase their onsite workdays to three days each week and perform the remaining workdays in that week remotely. This hybrid job structure for most of our workforce, with increased time onsite, could create consequences such as a lack of productivity, a lack of engagement, employee dissatisfaction, and employee fatigue. Some key employees may leave to work for businesses that offer

full-time remote work schedules, full-time onsite work schedules, or for businesses they otherwise find more attractive. The loss of, or the inability to retain or engage the services of key employees for any reason, could harm our business. Our future success depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, engage, retain, and motivate highly-skilled personnel. Our failure to attract, retain, and engage the personnel necessary to successfully operate our business could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We rely upon paid and natural search engines to rank our product offerings, and our financial results may suffer if we are unable to maintain our prior rankings in natural searches.

We rely on paid and natural search engines to attract consumer interest in our product offerings, including Google, Bing, and Yahoo!. Changes to their ranking algorithms and competition from other retailers to attract consumer interest may adversely affect our product offerings in paid and/or natural searches, and we may at times be subject to ranking penalties if the operators of search engines believe we are not in compliance with their guidelines. Search engine companies change their natural search engine algorithms periodically and online retailers compete to rank well with these search engine companies. Our ranking in natural searches may be adversely affected by those changes, as has occurred from time to time, which has led us to pursue revenue growth in other more expensive marketing channels. Google's search engine is dominant in our business and has historically been a significant source of traffic to our website, much of it at essentially no incremental cost to us. Search engine companies may also determine that we are not in compliance with their guidelines from time to time, as has occurred in the past, and they may penalize us in their search algorithms as a result. In recent years, we have experienced declines in our rankings in Google's natural search engine, which has required us to utilize more expensive marketing channels or otherwise compensate for the loss of some of the natural search traffic. Any future declines in our rankings in Google's natural search engine could have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we are not profitable and/or are unable to generate sufficient positive cash flow from operations, our ability to continue in business will depend on our ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing or monetize significant assets, and we may be unable to do so.

At December 31, 2022 our accumulated deficit was $173.8 million. We experienced significant losses in years leading up to 2020. Although our financial results were significantly better in 2020 and 2021, we incurred additional losses in 2022 which included significant non-cash losses on our equity method investments. If we are unable to successfully manage our business in the future, our ability to continue in business could depend on our ability to raise sufficient additional capital, obtain sufficient financing, or sell or otherwise monetize significant assets such as our corporate headquarters. Additionally, we may not be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all. The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks would have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

Remote or hybrid work schedules, resulting from future pandemics or otherwise, could have technology and security consequences, could result in policies, mandates, or regulations that apply unevenly to businesses, could cause employee fatigue, and could negatively impact our operations.

Many of our employees and contractors continue to work remotely or on a hybrid work schedule. Additional risks are inherent when employees and contractors work remotely, including risks that third-party Internet and phone service providers may not provide adequate services for employees and contractors to perform their responsibilities, risks that hardware, software, or other technological problems or failures could prevent employees or contractors from performing their responsibilities and could take an excessive amount of time to resolve and risks that employees and contractors may not be trained as effectively or monitored as closely from remote locations, creating greater risks for the security of confidential information. Additionally, government policies, mandates, or regulations created in response to the future spread of disease or illness could apply unevenly to businesses, whether based on business size, industry, or some other reason, which could make certain businesses less desirable for employment and could impair our ability to attract and/or retain key employees. Employees may leave to work for businesses they find more attractive. Any such occurrences could have a material negative impact on the business.

Our business depends on the Internet, our infrastructure and transaction-processing systems.

We are completely dependent on our infrastructure and on the availability, reliability and security of the Internet and related systems. Although we have migrated and continue to migrate some of our computer systems and operations to the public cloud, a substantial majority of our computer and communications infrastructure is running in our private cloud on hardware that is located at a single Overstock owned and operated facility. Our systems and operations are vulnerable to damage or interruption from fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks, acts of war, break-ins, earthquake and similar events. Our back-up facility by itself is not adequate to support fulfillment of sales orders. Our servers and applications are vulnerable to malware, physical or electronic break-ins, internal sabotage, and other disruptions, the occurrence of any of which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of critical data or the inability to accept and fulfill customer

orders. Any internal or critical third-party system interruption that results in the unavailability of our Website or our mobile app or reduced performance of our transaction systems could interrupt or substantially reduce our ability to conduct our business. We have experienced periodic systems interruptions due to server failure, application failure, power failure and intentional cyber-attacks in the past, and may experience additional interruptions or failures in the future. Any failure or impairment of our infrastructure or of the availability of the Internet or related systems could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects. In addition, the occurrence of any event that would adversely affect e-commerce or discourage or prevent consumers from shopping online or via mobile apps could significantly decrease the volume of our sales.

We are subject to cyber security risks and risks of data loss or other security breaches.

Our business involves the storage and transmission of users' proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, and to resulting claims, fines, and litigation. We have developed certain software products to assist with the operation and management of our business which could contain flaws or vulnerabilities that could present cyber security-related risks, data loss, other security breaches, or damage to our business, our suppliers, or our customers. We have been subjected to a variety of cyber-attacks, which have increased in number and variety over time. We believe our systems are probed by potential hackers virtually 24/7, and we expect the problem will continue to grow worse over time. Cyber-attacks may target us, our customers, our suppliers, banks, credit card processors, delivery services, public cloud providers, e-commerce in general or the communication infrastructure on which we depend. Any flaws or vulnerabilities in the software we created or technologies designed to prevent attacks on our systems and other third-party systems, compromise of our security, data breaches, malfunctions, or errors, could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business. Moreover, any insurance coverage we may carry may be inadequate to cover the expenses and other potential financial exposure we could face as a result of a cyber-attack or data breach.

We recently reversed the valuation allowance for a significant portion of our deferred tax assets, and we may not be able to realize these assets in the future. Our deferred tax assets may also be subject to additional valuation allowances, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Determining whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is appropriate requires judgment and an evaluation of all positive and negative evidence. At each reporting period, we assess the need for, or the sufficiency of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. During 2021, based on the weight of all the positive and negative evidence, we concluded that it was more likely than not that we will realize certain federal and state net deferred tax assets based on future taxable income. Therefore, we reversed the valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets during 2021. We maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets for capital losses and the state of Utah where not supported by future reversals of taxable temporary differences, because of the uncertainty regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets.

Our conclusion that it is more likely than not that we will realize certain federal and state net deferred tax assets is primarily based on our estimate of future taxable income. Our estimate of future taxable income is based on internal projections which primarily consider historical performance, but also include various internal estimates and assumptions and certain external data. We believe all of these inputs to be reasonable, although inherently subject to judgment. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates of future taxable income, we may need to reestablish a valuation allowance for some or all of our deferred tax assets. Establishing an allowance on our net deferred tax assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We may be required to recognize losses relating to our equity method investments.

At December 31, 2022, we held equity method investments totaling approximately $296.3 million. The underlying equity interests are in entities that are in the startup or development stages. Equity method securities are inherently risky because we do not have the ability to influence business decisions. Further, these investments are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages and may never materialize. Since these investments are in companies that are in the early startup or development stages, even if their technology or products are viable, they may not be able to obtain the capital or resources necessary to successfully bring their technology or products to market. We have recognized losses related to these equity method securities in the past and may in the future recognize additional losses. Additionally, due to tax law limitations around deductibility of capital and investment losses, we may not be able to recognize a tax benefit on these losses when they occur. Any such loss could be material and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

If governmental entities or providers of consumer devices and internet browsers further restrict or regulate the use of "cookie" tracking technologies, the amount or accuracy of online user information we collect could decrease, which could harm our business and operating results.

Various federal, state and international governmental entities have enacted or are considering enacting legislation or regulations that could significantly restrict the ability of companies to use proprietary or third-party "cookies" and other methods of online tracking for behavioral advertising. For example, some governmental agencies have regulated the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cookies or other electronic tracking tools or the use of data gathered with such tools. Additionally, some providers of consumer devices and web browsers have implemented or plan to implement methods of making it easier for Internet users to prevent the placement of cookies, to block other tracking technologies or to require new permissions from users for certain activities, which have impacted us in the past and have the potential to significantly reduce the effectiveness of such practices and technologies in the future. Any further restriction on the use of cookies and other online tracking and advertising practices could limit our ability to effectively retain existing customers or acquire new customers and consequently, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

If the legal, regulatory, or tax treatment of our company changes adversely, it could impact our ability to conduct business and, accordingly, our financial results.

New or revised laws, regulations, or court decisions may subject us to additional requirements and new disclosures that could increase the cost of doing business, increase scrutiny for the way decisions are made, decrease our revenues, or impact our business model. For example, the SEC has proposed rules that would affect publicly-traded company disclosure obligations in the areas of climate change and cyber security which, if approved, would increase our costs of doing business and expose us to potential compliance risk. In addition, new or revised tax regulations or court decisions may subject us or our customers to additional taxes. Other new or revised legal, regulatory, or tax treatment could expose us to additional risk, increase the cost of doing business online, and increase internal costs necessary to capture data, report data, and collect and remit taxes. For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to immediately deduct research and development expenditures in 2022, and instead required them to be amortized in future years. This new requirement caused us to utilize significant federal and state net operating loss carryforwards in the current year. We expect to continue to utilize federal and state tax attributes at a faster rate than our financial statement earnings in the future and there may be increases to cash taxes paid unless legislation is passed that would defer, repeal, or otherwise modify these new requirements. Any of these items could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

We and certain of our former and current officers and directors are named in shareholder class action lawsuits and shareholder derivative lawsuits, which could require significant additional management time and attention, result in significant additional legal expenses or result in government enforcement actions.

We and certain of our former and current officers and directors are named in shareholder class action lawsuits and shareholder derivative lawsuits, and may become subject to further litigation, government investigations or proceedings arising therefrom. The pending litigation and any future litigation, investigations or other actions that may be filed or initiated against us or our current or former officers or directors may be time consuming and expensive. We cannot predict what losses, if any, we may incur in these litigation matters, and expect to incur significant legal expenditures in defending and responding to these litigation matters.

Any such legal proceedings, if decided adversely to us, could result in significant monetary damages, penalties and reputational harm, and will likely involve significant defense and other costs. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and certain of our officers, requiring us to indemnify them. Further, our insurance may not cover all claims that have been or may be brought against us, and insurance coverage may not continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost. As a result, we may be exposed to substantial uninsured or under-insured liabilities, including pursuant to our indemnification obligations, which could materially adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We and tZERO, in which we own a direct minority interest, are both the subjects of, and parties to, investigations by the SEC Division of Enforcement, which has required us to expend significant financial and legal resources. The resolution of those investigations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As previously disclosed, in October 2019, we received a subpoena from the SEC requiring us to produce documents and other information related to the Series A-1 Preferred stock dividend we announced to stockholders in June 2019 and requesting copies of 10b5-1 plans entered into by certain officers and directors. In December 2019, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting our insider trading policies and certain employment and consulting agreements. We also received requests from the SEC for our communications with our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Patrick Byrne, and the matters referenced in the December 2019 subpoenas. In January 2021, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting

information regarding our Retail guidance in 2019 and certain communications with current and former executives, board members, and investors. We continue to cooperate with the SEC in these matters.

Although we believe that we have fully complied with all relevant laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that the SEC will not commence an enforcement action against us or members of our management, or as to the ultimate resolution of any enforcement action that the SEC may decide to bring. Under applicable law, the SEC has the ability to impose significant sanctions on companies and individuals who are found to have violated the provisions of applicable federal securities laws, including cease and desist orders, civil money penalties, and barring individuals from serving as directors or officers of public companies. We have expended significant financial and legal resources responding to the SEC subpoena and such responses have required a significant amount of the time and attention of our senior management and personnel. Defending any enforcement action brought by the SEC against us or members of our management would involve further significant expenditures and the resolution of any such enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Additionally, the outcome of any investigation related to the activities of tZERO could result in negative publicity for tZERO or us or limit the products which tZERO may be able to offer, which may have an adverse effect on the current and future business ventures of tZERO or us.

If we do not successfully optimize and operate our distribution center, warehouse, and customer service operations, our business could be harmed.

We have expanded, contracted, and otherwise modified our distribution center, warehouse, and customer service operations from time to time in the past, and expect that we will continue to do so. If we do not successfully optimize and operate our distribution center, warehouse, and customer service operations, it could significantly limit our ability to meet customer demand, customer shipping or return time expectations, or result in excessive costs and expenses for the size of our business. Because it is difficult to predict demand, we may not be able to manage our facilities in an optimal way, which may result in excess or insufficient inventory or warehousing capacity. Our fulfillment and customer service centers may also fail to staff at optimal levels. Our failure to manage our warehouse operations, distribution centers or our fulfillment and customer service centers optimally could adversely affect our financial results and customer experience and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

Global conflict, increasing tensions between the United States and Russia, the United States and China, and other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Global conflict could increase costs and limit availability of fuel, energy, and other resources we depend upon for our business operations and could also limit product assortment availability. For example, while we do not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and the other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have resulted in many broader economic impacts such as the United States imposing sanctions and bans against Russia and Russian products imported into the United States. Such sanctions and bans have impacted and may continue to impact commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further, we and many of our suppliers and fulfillment partners source a large percentage of the products we offer on our Website from China. Relations between the United States and China have become increasingly strained and if tensions were to escalate, it could limit our ability to provide a full assortment of furniture and home furnishings on our Website. Sanctions, bans, trade restrictions, or other economic actions in response to the present or future conflict in Ukraine, China, or in response to any other global conflict could result in an increase in costs, further disruptions to our supply chain, and a lack of consumer confidence resulting in reduced demand. While the extent of such items is not presently known, any of them could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are partially self-insured with respect to our employees' health insurance. If the actual costs of these claims exceed the amounts we have accrued for them, we would incur additional expense.

Since January 1, 2017, we have been partially self-insured with respect to our employees' health insurance, except to the extent of stop-loss coverage that limits our losses both on a per employee basis and an aggregate basis. The actual costs of our employees' health insurance claims could exceed our estimates of those costs for a number of reasons, including more claims or larger claims than we expect, and increases in the costs of healthcare generally. If the actual cost of our employees' health insurance claims and related expenses exceeds the amounts we have accrued, we may be required to record additional charges for these claims and/or to establish additional cash reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We may be unable to protect our proprietary technology and to obtain trademark protection for our marks.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the protection of our software and other proprietary intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of laws and contractual restrictions with our employees, customers, suppliers, affiliates, and others to establish and protect our proprietary rights, including the law pertaining to trade secrets. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property or trade secrets without authorization. In addition, we cannot ensure that others will not independently develop similar intellectual property. Third parties have in the past recruited and may in the future recruit our employees who have had access to our proprietary technologies, processes and operations. These recruiting efforts expose us to the risk that such employees and those hiring them will misappropriate and exploit our intellectual property and trade secrets. We may be unable to protect against such risks, in the United States or elsewhere, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we have registered and are pursuing the registration of our key trademarks in the United States and some other countries, some of our trade names may not be eligible to receive registered trademark protection. In addition, effective trademark protection may not be available or we may not seek protection in every country in which we market or sell our products and services, including in the United States. Our competitors might adopt product or service marks like our marks or might try to prevent us from using our marks. Any claim by another party against us, or customer confusion related to our trademarks, or our failure to obtain trademark registration, could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We are currently subject to claims that we have infringed intellectual property rights of third parties and may be subjected to additional infringement claims in the future.

We are currently and may in the future be subject to claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others, by offering allegedly infringing products or otherwise. We have contested and expect to continue to contest claims we consider unfounded rather than settling such claims, even when we expect the costs of contesting the claims could potentially exceed the cost of settlement. Any claims may result in significant expenditure of our financial and managerial resources and may result in us making significant damages or settlement payments or changes to our business. We could be prohibited from using software or business processes, or required to obtain licenses from third parties, which could be expensive or unavailable. Any such difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We depend on our suppliers' and fulfillment partners' representations regarding product safety, content and quality, product compliance with various laws and regulations, including registration and/or reporting obligations, and for proper labeling of products.

We rely on our suppliers' and fulfillment partners' representations of product safety, content and quality, product compliance with various laws and regulations, including registration and/or reporting obligations, and proper labeling of products. Issues or concerns regarding product safety, compliance, registration and/or reporting, labeling, content or quality could result in consumer or governmental claims and could adversely affect our financial results and business. Any indemnity agreement we may have with a supplier or fulfillment partner of a product may be inadequate or inapplicable, and any insurance coverage we may carry may be inadequate. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds and management time and could have a negative impact on our business. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

We have an evolving business model, which increases the complexity of our business.

In prior years we added additional types of services and product offerings and in some cases, we modified or discontinued those offerings, and in some cases have re-launched offerings we had previously terminated. We may continue to try to offer additional types of products or services, and we do not know whether any of them will be successful. From time to time we have also modified aspects of our business model relating to our product mix and the mix of direct/partner sourcing of the products we offer. We recently eliminated our assortment of non-home goods offered for sale on our Website in order to increase our brand association with "home" expertise. In addition, we continue to experiment with new technologies to enhance the customer experience and iterate on delivery of new features. The additions and modifications to our business have increased the complexity of our business and impacted our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions. The elimination of non-home goods has resulted in reduced revenues which we have not yet been able to fully offset. Further, our efforts to promote a culture of innovation amongst our technologists in an attempt to stay ahead of the competition may result in the introduction of technologies that are less mature or stable which could cause problems in our website or back-end logistics systems. Future additions to or modifications of our business are likely to have similar effects. Further, any new business, technology, or website we launch that is not favorably received by consumers could damage our reputation or our brand. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, prospects, and the trading prices of our securities.

If Pelion is not successful in managing the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund or has to resign if there is a change in the interpretation or application of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act"), we would be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of this arrangement.

As the general partner of the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund, Pelion has control over the limited partnership and its activities, including day-to-day operations and investment decisions. Pelion is able to sell investments of the limited partnership at any time, make additional investments, modify, amend or change existing investments, make new investments and otherwise control the activities of the limited partnership.

The success of the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund depends on Pelion's ability to successfully manage the activities of the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund portfolio companies and its existing and future portfolio company investments. Pelion may not be successful in managing these investments and we may not receive the benefits we anticipate of the transaction with Pelion. Moreover, even if successful in managing the Partnership, Pelion has the right to withdraw as general partner under certain circumstances, including certain changes in Pelion's status under the Advisers Act. The occurrence of such an event is beyond our control, and, as a result, there can be no assurance that Pelion will remain as general partner for the term contemplated. If Pelion is no longer serving as the general partner, we will have the right under the partnership agreement to appoint a new general partner; however, it may not be possible to accomplish this in a timely manner, which could result in the termination of the partnership. Even if a new general partner is appointed in a timely manner, it may be unable to manage the activities of the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund and its portfolio company investments, which would prevent us from receiving the anticipated benefits of the partnership.

Our international business efforts could adversely affect us.

We sell products in international markets. International sales and transactions are subject to inherent risks and challenges that could adversely affect us, including:

•the need to develop new supplier and manufacturer relationships;

•the need to comply with additional U.S. and foreign laws and regulations;

•changes in international laws, regulatory requirements, taxes and tariffs;

•our limited experience with different local cultures and standards;

•geopolitical events, such as war and terrorist attacks;

•the risk that the products we offer may not appeal to customers in international markets, whether due to the products themselves, the time to deliver, a lack of brand recognition, or another reason; and

•the additional resources and management attention required for such expansion.

Our international business could expose us to penalties for non-compliance with laws applicable to international business and trade, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Foreign data protection, privacy and other laws and regulations are different and often more restrictive than those in the United States. Compliance with such laws and regulations will result in additional costs and may necessitate changes to our business practices, which may adversely affect our business. A lack of brand recognition, increased costs associated with shipping products cross-border, increased times to deliver products to customers, or other matters that may reduce customer demand, could adversely affect our business. To the extent that we make purchases or sales denominated in foreign currencies, we would have foreign currency risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

The trading price of our common stock may be adversely affected by short-selling activities involving our common stock.

The trading price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. Our stock price fluctuations may be due in part to short-selling activity related to our common stock. The practice of short-selling activity may adversely affect our common stock price, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to raise capital and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects.

Significant fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may adversely affect the market prices of our common stock, and you may lose all or a part of your investment.

Our revenues and operating results have varied in the past and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition to the other risk factors described in this report, factors that have caused and/or could cause our quarterly operating results to fluctuate and in turn affect the market prices of our common stock include:

•increases in the cost of advertising and changes in our sales and marketing expenditures;

•our inability to retain existing customers or encourage repeat purchases;

•the extent to which our existing and future marketing campaigns are successful;

•price competition, particularly in the costs of marketing and product pricing;

•the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures;

•the amount and timing of our purchases of inventory;

•our inability to manage distribution operations or provide adequate levels of customer service;

•increases in the cost of fuel, transportation or distribution;

•our inability to implement technology changes or integrate operations and technologies from acquisitions or other business combinations;

•our efforts to offer new lines of products and services;

•our inability to attract users to our website; and

•losses associated with our equity method investments.

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business and our ability to raise capital and could have a material adverse effect on the holders of our common stock.

Future sales or other distributions of our stock may depress our stock price or subject us to limitations on our ability to use our net operating and tax credit carryforwards.

Sales or other distributions of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, in the public market or otherwise, by us or by a significant stockholder, has in the past and could in the future, depress the trading price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. The transfer of ownership of a significant portion of our outstanding shares of common stock in the public market or otherwise, by us or by a significant stockholder, within a three-year period could adversely affect our ability to use our net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable net income.

In addition, we may issue additional shares of our common or preferred stock from time to time in the future in amounts that may be significant. We have sold common stock including under "at the market" sales agreement and in follow-on underwritten offerings in the past and may do so in the future. We also previously issued a class of preferred stock that was publicly traded, and may in the future issue preferred stock that is publicly traded. The sale of substantial amounts of our common or preferred stock, by us or a significant stockholder, or the perception that these sales may occur, could adversely affect the trading prices of our securities or subject us to limitations on our ability to use our net operating and tax credit carryforwards.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, and provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. Among other things, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include provisions:

•limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;

•limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings;

•providing that our Board of Directors is classified into three classes of directors with staggered three-year terms;

•only permitting the Board of Directors to fix the number of directors and to fill vacancies;

•prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

•prohibit stockholder action by written consent, which requires all stockholder actions to be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;

•requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;

•controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of Board of Directors and stockholder meetings; and

•designating a state court located in the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for specified matters.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our management.

Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock or other securities and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock or other securities.

We are subject to the risk of possibly becoming an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Investment Company Act regulates certain companies that invest in, holdor trade securities. Primarily as a result of a portion of our assets consisting of indirectly-held minority investment positions through the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund, we are subject to the risk of inadvertently becoming an investment company. Because registration under the Investment Company Act would make it impractical for us to operate our business, we need to avoid becoming subject to the registration requirements of the Investment Company Act. To do so, we may structure transactions in a less advantageous manner than if we did not have Investment Company Act concerns, or we may avoid otherwise economically desirable transactions and/or strategic initiatives due to those concerns. In addition, events beyond our control, including significant appreciation or depreciation in the value of certain of our holdings or adverse developments with respect to our ownership of certain of our subsidiaries, could result in us inadvertently becoming an investment company. If it were established that we were an investment company, there would be a risk, among other material adverse consequences, that we could become subject to monetary penalties or injunctive relief, or both, in an action brought by the SEC, that we would be unable to enforce contracts with third parties or that third parties could seek to obtain rescission of transactions with us undertaken during the period it was established that we were an unregistered investment company. If it were established that we were an investment company, it would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial operations and our ability to continue our business.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are involved in, or become subject to litigation or other legal proceedings concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. We also prosecute lawsuits to enforce our legal rights. In connection with such litigation or other legal proceedings, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages, associated costs, or equitable remedies relating to the operation of our business. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. For additional details, see the information set forth under Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"—Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies, subheading Legal Proceedings and Contingencies, contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market information

The principal U.S. trading market for our common stock is the Nasdaq Global Market. Our common stock is traded under the symbol "OSTK."

Holders

As of February 17, 2023, there were 333 holders of record of our common stock. Many of our shares of common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of the beneficial owners.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any earnings for future growth and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay any dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

We declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.16 per share on our preferred stock during 2021 and 2020. As discussed below under "—Preferred Stock Conversion," we converted all of our then-outstanding Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock into common stock on June 10, 2022, and did not pay a cash dividend prior to conversion in 2022. At December 31, 2022 we had no preferred stock outstanding.

Recent sales of unregistered securities

None.

Issuer purchases of equity securities

The following table sets forth information with respect to repurchases of shares of our common stock made during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

___________________________________________

(1) In August 2021, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program") for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common stock. On March 9, 2022, our Board of Directors expanded the Repurchase Program to include the repurchase of our Series A-1 preferred stock and/or Series B preferred stock. The Repurchase Program expires in December 2023.

Preferred Stock Conversion

On May 12, 2022, Overstock shareholders voted to approve separate proposals to approve the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation for both classes of its preferred stock to provide that each share of our Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock would be automatically converted into 0.90 of a share of our common stock (the "Conversion"). On June 10, 2022, in connection with the completion of the Conversion, the Company issued 4,097,697 shares of our common stock in exchange for the outstanding Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock on that date. As the fair value of our common stock issued exceeded the fair value of the Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock exchanged on the Conversion date, we recognized a non-cash deemed dividend to our preferred stockholders of $1.7 million due to the excess fair value per share compared to the conversion ratio. Following the Conversion, the Company eliminated the Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock class by filing Certificates of Elimination with the Delaware Secretary of State. The shares of preferred stock previously designated as Series A-1 and Series B preferred stock returned to the status of authorized and undesignated shares of preferred stock under our certificate of incorporation.

COMPARISON OF 5-YEAR CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN

The following graph shows a comparison of the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock with the cumulative total returns of NASDAQ Market Index, the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Retail Select Index. The graph tracks the performance of a $100 investment in our common stock and in each of the indexes during the last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2022. Data for the NASDAQ Market Index, the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Retail Select Index assume reinvestment of dividends. Stockholder returns over the indicated period are based on historical data and should not be considered indicative of future stockholder returns. They do not necessarily reflect management's opinion that such indices are an appropriate measure of the relative performance of the stock involved, and they are not intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of the Company's common stock.

Overview

Overstock provides furniture and home furnishings to assist consumers in "Making Dream Homes Come True," particularly for our target customers—consumers who seek smart value on quality, stylish furniture and home furnishings at competitive prices, and who want an easy shopping experience. We believe that the furniture and home furnishings market, which is highly fragmented and has traditionally been served by brick-and-mortar stores, will continue transitioning to online sales as consumers become increasingly comfortable shopping online. We regularly update our product assortment to meet the evolving preferences of our customers and current trends. Our products include furniture, décor, area rugs, bedding and bath, home improvement, outdoor, and kitchen and dining items, among others. Our supply chain allows us to ship directly to our customers from our suppliers or from our warehouses. See Item 1—"Business—Our Business" for an additional overview on our business.

We are focused on growth drivers including, increasing our home assortment to improve our brand association with home, making it easier for our customers to find and view a broad assortment of products, increasing mobile app adoption driving higher customer retention and brand loyalty, optimizing our marketing efforts to grow Overstock consideration among home shoppers, growing our customer base in Canada, and gaining market share by strengthening our brand pillars of "Product Findability," "Smart Value," and "Easy Delivery and Support."

Executive Commentary

This executive commentary is intended to provide investors with a view of our business through the eyes of our management. As an executive commentary, it necessarily focuses on selected aspects of our business. This executive commentary is intended as a supplement to, but not a substitute for, the more detailed discussion of our business included elsewhere herein. Investors are cautioned to read our entire "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and our interim and audited financial statements, and the discussion of our business and risk factors and other information included elsewhere or incorporated in this report. This executive commentary includes forward-looking statements, and investors are cautioned to read "Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Our consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance decreased from $503.3 million as of December 31, 2021 to $371.3 million as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of $132.1 million, primarily as the result of repurchases of our common stock and Series A-1 preferred stock under the Repurchase Program of $80.1 million, purchases of equity securities of $18.9 million, expenditures of property and equipment of $14.9 million, and net cash outflows from operating activities of $12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenue decreased 30% in 2022 compared to 2021. This decrease was primarily due to a 39% decrease in the number of customer orders, partially offset by a 15% increase in average order value driven by a continued product mix shift into furniture and home furnishings categories. This decreased order activity was largely driven by the absence of pandemic-related shopping behavior as seen in the prior year, the impact of macroeconomic factors including a heightened inflationary environment and uncertainty impacting consumer sentiment, a shift in consumer spending preferences, and our strategy to exit non-home categories.

Gross profit decreased 29% in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to decreased sales volume and partially offset by an increase in gross margin. Gross margin increased to 23.0% in 2022, compared to 22.6% in 2021, primarily due to merchandising actions, advertising revenue, and operational efficiencies. The increase was partially offset by higher promotional discounting and carrier costs.

Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 11.2% in 2022 compared to 11.0% in 2021, primarily due to increased brand advertising, partially offset by decreased performance marketing expenses.

Technology expenses decreased $1.8 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to decreased third party spend and staff-related expenses. The decrease was partially offset by increased licensing costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased $7.7 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily driven by reduced legal, third-party vendor, and facilities-related expenses, partially offset by increased staff-related expenses.

Additional commentary related to macroeconomic trends

We continue to monitor recent macroeconomic trends, including the impact caused by global developments such as the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine (including the related heightened geopolitical tensions and economic actions in response thereto by various countries), and their impact on our supply chain, customers, and employees. While we have no operations in or direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine, we believe the conflict between Russia and Ukraine combined with higher consumer price inflation has resulted in reduced consumer confidence and consumer spending which negatively impacted our sales during the year. In addition, we have experienced increased employee turnover, inflation in product costs, higher wages, higher share-based compensation expenses, and higher energy and fuel costs, each at a higher rate than what we have experienced in recent years. However, we continue to work with our partners to limit price increases in response to higher costs and have been able to improve gross margins year over year.

Due to the uncertain and constantly evolving nature and extreme volatility created by these disruptions in the capital markets, we cannot currently predict the long-term impact of these events on our operations and financial results. Nevertheless, as of December 31, 2022, the challenges arising from these events have not adversely affected our liquidity or capacity to service our debt, nor have these conditions required us to reduce our capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. We continue to monitor, evaluate, and manage our operating plans, forecasts, and liquidity considering the most recent developments driven by macroeconomic conditions, such as supply chain challenges, inflation, rising interest rates, and the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We proactively seek opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and have in the past and may in the future take steps to realize internal cost savings, including aligning our staffing needs based on our current and expected future levels of operations and process streamlining.

We periodically evaluate opportunities to repurchase our equity securities, obtain credit facilities, or issue additional debt or equity securities which may impact our future operations and liquidity. In addition, we may, from time to time, consider the investment in, or acquisition of, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies to expand our business, any of which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional debt or equity securities that would be dilutive to shareholders.

Cash flows from discontinued operations are disclosed on our statement of cash flows as separate line items in the operating, investing, and financing activities sections. We anticipate that the absence of cash flows from discontinued operations will positively affect future liquidity and capital resources.

Current sources of liquidity

Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable, net. At December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $371.3 million and accounts receivable, net of $17.7 million.

Cash flow information is as follows (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

Cash provided by (used in):

At December 31, 2022, we had $150.0 million available under our "at the market" sales program which permits us to conduct "at the market" public offerings of our common stock under a sales agreement, dated June 26, 2020, with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC ("JonesTrading") and D.A. Davidson & Co. ("D.A. Davidson"). We did not sell any shares under our at the market sales program during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Operating activities

Cash received from customers generally corresponds to our net revenues as our customers primarily use credit cards to buy from us causing our receivables from these sales transactions to settle quickly. We have payment terms with our partners that generally extend beyond the amount of time necessary to collect proceeds from our customers.

The $12.5 million of net cash used by continuing operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to income from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash items, of $67.8 million, offset by cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $80.3 million.

The $98.0 million of net cash provided by continuing operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to income from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash items, of $141.6 million, offset by cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $43.6 million.

Investing activities

The $33.0 million of net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily due to purchases of equity securities of $18.9 million and expenditures for property and equipment of $14.9 million.

The $56.4 million of net cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to contributions for capital calls relating to our limited partnership interest in the Medici Ventures, L.P. fund of $41.1 million and expenditures for property and equipment of $13.6 million.

Financing activities

The $86.3 million net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 resulted primarily from $80.1 million for repurchases of our common stock and Series A-1 preferred stock under the Repurchase Program, $3.7 million of payments of taxes withheld upon vesting of restricted stock, and $3.4 million of payments on long-term debt.

The $12.7 million net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 resulted primarily from $8.3 million of payments of taxes withheld upon vesting of restricted stock and $3.0 million of payments on long-term debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2022 and the effect such obligations and commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods (in thousands):

Payments due by period

___________________________________________

(1) Represents the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases. For information regarding our operating lease obligations, see Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"—Note 11—Leases contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Represents future interest and principal payments on our financing agreements. For information regarding our financing agreements, see Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"—Note 10—Borrowings contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Tax contingencies

We are involved in various tax matters, the outcomes of which are uncertain. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, tax contingencies were $3.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively, which are included in our reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits (see Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"—Note 19—Income Taxes contained in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Changes in state, federal, and foreign tax laws may increase our tax contingencies. The timing of the resolution of income tax contingencies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities. These assessments may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior years' tax filings.

Results of Operations

Net revenue, costs of goods sold, gross profit and gross margin

The following table summarizes our net revenue, costs of goods sold, gross profit and gross margin for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

Cost of goods sold

Merchant fees, customer service, and other 76,793 106,181

Year-over-year percentage changes

Net revenue (30.0) %

Gross profit (28.9) %

Percent of total net revenue

Cost of goods sold

Product costs and other cost of goods sold 73.0 % 73.5 %

Merchant fees, customer service, and other 4.0 % 3.9 %

Total cost of goods sold 77.0 % 77.4 %

The 30% decrease in net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a 39% decrease in the number of customer orders, partially offset by a 15% increase in average order value driven by a continued product mix shift into furniture and home furnishings categories. This decreased order activity was largely driven by the absence of pandemic-related shopping behavior as seen in the prior year, the impact of macroeconomic factors including a heightened inflationary environment and uncertainty impacting consumer sentiment, a shift in consumer spending preferences, and our strategy to exit non-home categories.

We cannot estimate the impact that macroeconomic conditions, such as supply chain challenges, inflation, rising interest rates, or the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine will have on our business in the future due to the unpredictable nature of the ultimate development and duration of these conditions.

International net revenues were less than 1% of total net revenues for 2022 and 2021.

Estimate of unearned product revenue on undelivered product

Our revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery to our customers. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates, which can be further impacted by uncertainty, volatility, and any disruption to our carriers caused by certain macroeconomic conditions, such as supply chain challenges, inflation, rising interest rates, or the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

The following table shows the effect that hypothetical changes in the estimate of average shipping transit times would have on the reported amount of revenue and income before taxes (in thousands):

As reported As reported As reported

Gross profit and gross margin

Our overall gross margins fluctuate based on competitive pricing; inventory management decisions; sales coupons and promotions; product mix of sales; advertising revenue and our marketing allowance program; and operational and fulfillment costs. Merchant fees, customer service, and other (previously labeled "Fulfillment and related costs") include merchant processing fees associated with customer payments made by credit cards and other payment methods and other variable fees, customer service costs, costs incurred to operate and staff our warehouses, including rent and depreciation expense associated with these facilities, costs to receive, inspect, pick, and prepare customer order for delivery, and direct and indirect labor costs including payroll, payroll-related benefits, and stock-based compensation, all of which we include as costs in calculating gross margin. Merchant fees, customer service, and other as a percentage of sales may vary due to several factors, such as our ability to effectively manage merchant fees, customer service costs, and warehouse costs. We believe that some companies in our industry, including some of our competitors, account for merchant fees, customer service, and other costs within operating expenses, and therefore exclude merchant fees, customer service, and other costs from gross margin. As a result, our gross margin may not be directly comparable to others in our industry.

Gross margins for the past eight quarterly periods and years ending December 31, 2022 and 2021 were:

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased 29% compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to decreased sales volume and partially offset by an increase in gross margin. Gross margin increased to 23.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 22.6% for the same period in 2021, primarily due to merchandising actions, advertising revenue, and operational efficiencies. The increase was partially offset by higher promotional discounting and carrier costs.

Operating expenses

Sales and marketing expenses

We use a variety of online advertising channels to attract new and repeat customers, including search engine marketing, personalized emails, mobile app, loyalty program, affiliate marketing, display banners, and social media. We also build our brand awareness through linear and streaming TV.

Costs associated with our discounted shipping and other promotions, such as coupons, are not included in sales and marketing expense. Rather, they are accounted for as a reduction in revenue as they reduce the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for goods or services and therefore affect net revenues and gross margin. We consider discounted shipping and other promotions, such as our policy for free shipping on orders, as an effective marketing tool.

The following table summarizes our sales and marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

Advertising expense included in sales and marketing expenses 205,523 289,019

Year-over-year percentage change

Sales and marketing expenses (28.8) %

Advertising expense included in sales and marketing expenses (28.9) %

Percentage of net revenue

Sales and marketing expenses 11.2 % 11.0 %

Advertising expense included in sales and marketing expenses 10.7 % 10.5 %

The 20 basis point increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percent of net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to increased brand advertising, partially offset by decreased performance marketing expenses.

Technology expenses

We seek to deploy our capital resources efficiently in technology to support operations including private and public cloud, web services, customer support solutions, and product search, and in technology to enhance the customer experience, including machine learning algorithms, improving our process efficiency, modernizing and expanding our systems, and supporting and expanding our logistics infrastructure. We expect to continue to incur technology expenses to support these efforts and these expenditures may continue to be material.

The frequency and variety of cyberattacks on our Website, enterprise systems, services, and on third parties we use to support our technology continues to increase. The impact of such attacks, their costs, and the costs we incur to protect ourselves against future attacks have not been material to date. However, we consider the risk introduced by cyberattacks to be serious and will continue to incur costs related to efforts to protect ourselves against them.

The following table summarizes our technology expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

Year-over-year percentage change

Technology expenses (1.5) %

Technology expenses as a percent of net revenue 6.3 % 4.5 %

The $1.8 million decrease in technology expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to decreased third party spend and staff-related expenses. The decrease was partially offset by increased licensing costs.

General and administrative expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Year ended December 31,

General and administrative expenses $ 79,701 $ 87,399

General and administrative expenses (8.8) %

General and administrative expenses as a percent of net revenue 4.1 % 3.2 %

The $7.7 million decrease in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily driven by reduced legal, third-party vendor, and facilities-related expenses, partially offset by increased staff-related expenses.

Other income (expense), net

The $76.3 million decrease in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a $76.5 million decrease in income recognized on our equity method securities.

Income taxes

Our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was (4.1)% and (39.6)%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is affected by recurring items such as research tax credits and non-recurring items such as changes in valuation allowances. We record valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when there is uncertainty about our ability to generate future income in relevant jurisdictions. The impact that macroeconomic conditions, such as supply chain challenges, inflation, rising interest rates, or the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine will have on our business in the future make estimates of future income more challenging due to the unpredictable nature of the ultimate development and duration of these conditions. It is also affected to a lesser extent by tax rates in foreign jurisdictions and the relative amount of income we earn in those jurisdictions, which we expect to be fairly consistent in the near term. Our low effective tax rate is primarily attributable to an increase in our valuation allowance for capital loss deferred tax assets associated with unrealized losses on our equity method securities. Our tax expense increased as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the fact we no longer maintain a valuation allowance on most of our federal and state deferred tax assets.

We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $7.1 million at December 31, 2022. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Item 8 of Part II, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"—Note 2—Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures. We believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies are as follows:

•valuation of certain equity method securities carried at fair value.

Valuation of certain equity method securities carried at fair value

We measured certain equity method securities at fair value at the reporting date. In the absence of quoted market prices (e.g., a privately held entity), the fair value was determined in good faith under our valuation policy and process using generally accepted valuation approaches. We utilized an independent third party valuation firm to assist us in determining the fair value of our direct minority interest in tZERO using a market approach. The market approach relied upon market transaction valuations of the subject company, adjusted for enterprise value changes in guideline public companies. The fair value determination of our direct minority interest in tZERO required the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) as shown in the table within Note 2—Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures, Equity securities accounted for under the equity method under ASC 323. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 securities that do not have a readily available market value, the determination of fair value required significant judgment or estimation and changes in the estimates and assumptions used in the valuation models could materially affect the determination of fair value for these assets.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents (highly-liquid instruments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase) would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Our loan agreements carry a fixed blended annual interest rate of 4.45%. As a result, we have no direct financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of our sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our total revenue and operating expenses are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk.

Inflation

Increases in commodity and shipping prices and energy and labor costs have resulted in inflationary pressures across various parts of our business and operations, including our partners and supply chain. We continue to monitor the impact of inflation in order to minimize its effects on our customers. We work with our partners to limit the amount of cost increases that are passed on through higher pricing. If costs borne by ourselves or our partners were to be subject to incremental inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through pricing actions or other cost efficiency measures. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Investment Risk

The fair values of our equity securities may be subject to fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market in general, investment-specific circumstances, and changes in general economic conditions. At December 31, 2022, our recorded value in equity securities in public and private companies was $296.3 million, compared to $342.7 million at December 31, 2021, of which $36,000 relates to publicly traded companies, compared to $174,000 at December 31, 2021, recorded at fair value, which are subject to market price volatility. For our equity interest in Medici Ventures, L.P., we record our proportionate share of the entity's reported net income or loss, which reflects the fair value changes of the underlying investments of the entity and any other income or losses of the entity. We have elected to account for our direct minority interests in tZERO and SpeedRoute using the fair value option. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the equity securities, other publicly available data, and the use of third-party valuation experts, as needed. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable.

Overstock.com, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Overstock.com, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Valuation of certain equity method securities

As discussed in Notes 2 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company values certain equity method securities using a market transaction backsolve approach adjusted for enterprise value changes in guideline public companies. As of December 31, 2022, the Company reported the carrying amount of its equity method securities was $296.3 million, a portion of which related to certain equity method securities valued using this approach.

We identified the valuation of certain equity method securities using a market transaction backsolve approach adjusted for enterprise value changes in guideline public companies as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required in evaluating the selection of the percentage change in enterprise value for guideline public companies. The valuation was sensitive to reasonably possible changes to this assumption.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company's fair value determination process for equity method securities carried at fair value, including a control related to the development of the percentage change in

enterprise value for guideline public companies. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the selected percentage change in enterprise value for guideline public companies by comparing the selected percentage change to a range of percentages independently developed using publicly available data for comparable entities.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and organization

As used herein, "Overstock," "Overstock.com," "the Company," "we," "our" and similar terms include Overstock.com, Inc. and our majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. We were formed on May 5, 1997 as D2-Discounts Direct, a limited liability company ("LLC"). On December 30, 1998, we were reorganized as a C Corporation in the State of Utah and reincorporated in Delaware in May 2002. On October 25, 1999, we changed our name to Overstock.com, Inc.

Through our online business, we offer a wide selection of quality furniture, décor, area rugs, bedding and bath, home improvement, outdoor, and kitchen and dining items, among others. We sell our products and services through our Internet websites located at www.overstock.com, www.o.co, www.overstock.ca, and www.overstockgovernment.com (referred to collectively as the "Website") and through our mobile app. Although our four websites are located at different domain addresses, the technology, equipment, and processes supporting the Website and the process of order fulfillment described herein are the same for all four websites.

Basis of presentation

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, our actual results may be different from our estimates. The results of operations presented herein are not necessarily indicative of our results for any future period.

Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in these consolidated financial statements reflect continuing operations only. The operating results for Medici Ventures Inc. ("Medici Ventures") and tZERO Group, Inc. ("tZERO"), our former subsidiaries, for the periods prior to their deconsolidation have been reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Certain prior period data, primarily related to discontinued operations, have been reclassified in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 4—Discontinued Operations for further information.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, receivables valuation, revenue recognition, Club O and gift card breakage, sales returns, inventory valuation, depreciable lives, equity securities valuation, income taxes, stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation, self-funded health insurance liabilities, and contingencies. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, to the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Supplemental cash flow information

The following table shows supplemental cash flow information (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information:

Cash paid during the period:

Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized $ 1,777 $ 1,775 $ 1,808

Non-cash investing and financing activities:

See also Note 11—Leases for additional supplemental disclosures of cash flow information related to our leases.

Cash equivalents

We classify all highly liquid instruments, including instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, as cash equivalents.

Restricted cash

We consider cash that is legally restricted and cash that is held as compensating balances for credit arrangements as restricted cash.

Fair value of financial instruments

We account for our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the fair-value hierarchy below. This hierarchy requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value.

•Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

•Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Our assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents, our equity securities under ASC 321, and deferred compensation liabilities, which fair values are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. Our equity securities under ASC 323 accounted for under the fair value option are measured on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (level 3). Our other financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, finance obligations, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. Certain assets, including long-lived assets, certain equity securities under ASC 323, goodwill, cryptocurrencies, and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (level 3), apart from cryptocurrencies which use quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).

Accounts receivable, net

Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade amounts due from customers in the United States and uncleared credit card transactions at period end. Accounts receivables are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest.We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses based upon our business customers' financial condition and payment history, our historical collection experience, and any future expected economic conditions.

Inventories

Inventories include merchandise acquired for resale and processed returns which are accounted for using a standard costing system which approximates the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.

Prepaids and other current assets

Prepaids and other current assets represent expenses paid prior to receipt of the related goods or services, including advertising, license fees, maintenance, packaging, insurance, prepaid inventories, other miscellaneous costs, and cryptocurrencies.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and stated net of depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the term of the related finance lease, whichever is shorter, as follows:

Life(years)

Building 40

Land improvements 20

Building machinery and equipment 15-20

Furniture and equipment 5-7

Computer hardware 3-4

Computer software, including internal-use software and website development 2-4

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related leases or estimated useful lives.

Included in property and equipment is the capitalized cost of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our Website and processes supporting our business. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over the estimated useful life. Costs incurred related to design or maintenance of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.

Upon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.

Initial valuation of retained noncontrolling interest in former subsidiaries

During the second quarter of 2021, we measured our retained noncontrolling interest in former subsidiaries at fair value at the date of deconsolidation. In the absence of quoted market prices (since the equity of these entities is not traded on a public market), the fair value was determined in good faith under our valuation policy and process using generally accepted valuation approaches. We utilized an independent third party valuation firm to assist us in determining the fair values of our retained noncontrolling interest in former subsidiaries using a combination of a market approach and income approach. The market approach relied upon a comparison with guideline public companies or guideline transactions and entails selecting relevant financial information of the subject company, and capitalizing those amounts using valuation multiples that are based on empirical market observations. The income approach relied upon an analysis of its projected economic earnings discounted to present value (discounted cash flows). The fair value determination of our retained noncontrolling interest required the use of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) as shown in the table within Note 4—Discontinued Operations. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of Level 3 securities that do not have a readily available market value, the determination of fair value required significant judgment or estimation and changes in the estimates and assumptions used in the valuation models could materially affect the determination of fair value for these assets. See Note 4—Discontinued Operations for further information.

Equity securities under ASC 321

At December 31, 2022, we held minority interests (less than 20%) in certain public entities, accounted for under ASC Topic 321, Investments—Equity Securities ("ASC 321"), which are included in Equity securities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We measure our ASC 321 equity securities at fair value (based on Level 1 inputs) with changes in fair value recorded in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations. Dividends received are reported in earnings if and when received.

Equity securities accounted for under the equity method under ASC 323

At December 31, 2022, we held minority interests in privately held entities, Medici Ventures, L.P., tZERO, and SpeedRoute, LLC ("SpeedRoute"), accounted for under the equity method under ASC Topic 323, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323"), which are included in Equity securities in our consolidated balance sheets. We can exercise significant influence, but not control, over these entities through holding more than a 20% voting interest.

Based on the nature of our ownership interests and the extent of our contributed capital, we held a variable interest in Medici Ventures, L.P. and SpeedRoute, both of which meet the definition of variable interest entities; however, we are not the primary beneficiary of these entities for purposes of consolidation as we do not have the power (either explicit or implicit), through voting rights or otherwise, to direct the activities of Medici Ventures, L.P. and SpeedRoute that most significantly impact their economic performance. Our investments in these variable interest entities totaled $217.4 million as of December 31, 2022, representing our maximum exposures to loss.

We record our proportionate share of Medici Ventures, L.P.'s net assets assuming the entity (i) liquidated its net assets at their book values and (ii) distributed the proceeds to the investors based on the distribution waterfall in the investment agreement, which reflects the fair value changes of the underlying investments of the entity, any investor-level adjustments, and any other operating income or losses of the entity, in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations with corresponding adjustments to the carrying value of the asset. If such events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate the fair value of our equity interest is less than its carrying value, we estimate the fair value of our equity interest and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the security and its carrying value which is recorded in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations. There is no difference between the carrying amount of our investment in the entity and the amount of underlying equity we have in the entity's net assets.

We have elected to apply the fair value option for valuing our direct minority interests in tZERO and SpeedRoute as we determined that accounting for our direct minority interests in tZERO and SpeedRoute under the fair value option would approximate the same valuation approach used by Medici Ventures, L.P. for valuing our indirect interest in tZERO and SpeedRoute and would be the most meaningful and transparent option for evaluating our continued exposure to the economics of tZERO and SpeedRoute. The fair value was determined in good faith under our valuation policy and process using generally accepted valuation approaches through the use of a third-party valuation firm. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the equity securities, and other publicly available data.

The methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of our direct minority interests in tZERO under the fair value option include using a market approach. The market approach relied upon market transaction valuations of the subject company, adjusted for enterprise value changes in guideline public companies. Due to the new Series B financing round led by the Intercontinental Exchange, the valuation approach used for valuing our direct interest in tZERO changed to a market approach using a transaction backsolve with an option pricing model valuation technique in the current period compared to a market approach with guideline public companies and income approach valuation technique in the prior period. The methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of our direct minority interests in SpeedRoute under the fair value option include using a market approach based on recent market transaction valuations.

The following table summarizes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our Level 3 equity securities:

Investment Fair Value Valuation technique Unobservable inputs Inputs

Percentage change in enterprise value for guideline public companies (32.4)%

SpeedRoute 3,920 Market approach - recent transactions N/A N/A

A significant change in the term to liquidity, volatility, or percentage change in enterprise value for guideline public companies inputs could result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We account for lease agreements as either operating or finance leases depending on certain defined criteria. Operating leases are recognized in Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, Operating lease liabilities, current, and Operating lease liabilities, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Other long-term assets, net, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In certain of our lease agreements, we receive rent holidays and other incentives. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and we adjust our measurement of the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease payments used in measurement of the lease liability typically do not include executory costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, unless those costs can be reasonably estimated at lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the life of the lease, without assuming renewal features, if any, are exercised. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases.

Treasury stock

We account for treasury stock of our common shares under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of stockholders' equity.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. There were no impairments to goodwill recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and no other changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Our goodwill balance of $6.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is net of accumulated impairment losses and other adjustments of $3.3 million.

Impairment of long-lived assets

We review property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and other long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the assets' carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair values. There were no impairments to long-lived assets recorded during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Other long-term assets, net

Other long-term assets, net consist primarily of long-term prepaid expenses and deposits.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five-step process:

1) identification of the contract with a customer;

2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

3) determination of the transaction price;

4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

5) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

Product Revenue

We derive our revenue primarily through our Website but may also derive revenue from sales of merchandise through other channels. Our revenue is derived primarily from merchandise sold at a point in time and shipped to customers. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our partners or from our owned inventory. The vast majority of our sales, however, are fulfilled from inventory sourced through our partners.

Revenue is recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the customer or the date a service is provided and is recognized in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods or services. As such, customer orders are recorded as unearned revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times, which are calculated using the following factors: (i) the type of shipping carrier (as carriers have different in-transit times); (ii) the fulfillment source (either our warehouses, those warehouses we control, or those of our partners); (iii) the delivery destination; and (iv) actual transit time experience, which shows that delivery date is typically one to eight business days from the date of shipment. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.

Generally, we require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we offer to our customers (such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Klarna), or verification of receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers. We generally receive payments from our customers before our payments to our suppliers are due. We do not recognize assets associated with costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity, as it takes place prior to the customer obtaining control of the merchandise, and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue upon completion of our performance obligation. We present revenue net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected refunds.

Our merchandise sales contracts include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price for items such as discounts, credits, or sales returns. Accordingly, the transaction price for product sales includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. At the time of sale, we estimate a sales return liability for the variable consideration based on historical experience, which is recorded within Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

We evaluate the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. When we are the principal in a transaction and control the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Through contractual terms with our partners, we have the ability to control the promised goods or services and as a result record the majority of our revenue on a gross basis.

Club O loyalty program

We have a customer loyalty program called Club O for which we sell annual memberships. For Club O memberships, we record membership fees as unearned revenue and we recognize revenue ratably over the membership period.

The Club O loyalty program allows members to earn Club O Reward dollars for qualifying purchases made on our Website. As such, the initial transaction price giving rise to the reward dollar is allocated to each separate performance obligation based upon its relative standalone selling price. In determining the stand-alone selling price, we incorporate assumptions about the redemption rates of loyalty points. We recognize revenue for Club O Reward dollars when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase on our Website.

We record the standalone value of reward dollars earned in unearned revenue at the time the reward dollars are earned. Club O Reward dollars expire 90 days after the customer's Club O membership expires. We recognize estimated reward dollar breakage, to which we expect to be entitled, over the expected redemption period in proportion to actual redemptions by customers.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenues are derived primarily from sponsored links and display advertisements that are placed on our Website, distributed via email, or sent out as direct mailers. Advertising revenue is recognized in revenue when the advertising services are rendered. Advertising revenues were approximately 2% of total net revenues for all periods presented.

Unearned Revenue

When the timing of our provision of goods or services is different from the timing of the payments made by our customers, we recognize a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance).

Customer orders are recorded as unearned revenue when payment is received prior to delivery of products or services ordered. We record amounts received for Club O membership fees as unearned revenue and we recognize it ratably over the membership period. We record Club O Reward dollars earned from purchases as unearned revenue at the time they are earned based upon the relative standalone selling price of the Club O Reward dollar and we recognize it as revenue in proportion to the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer. If reward dollars are not redeemed, we recognize revenue upon expiration. In addition, we sell gift cards and record related unearned revenue at the time of the sale. We sell gift cards without expiration dates and we recognize revenue from a gift card upon redemption of the gift card. The unredeemed portion of our gift cards are recognized in revenue over the expected redemption period based upon the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer, if the gift cards are not subject to escheat laws.

Sales returns allowance

Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold includes product costs, warehousing costs, outbound shipping costs, handling and fulfillment costs, customer service costs, and merchant fees, and is recorded in the same period in which related revenues have been recorded.

Advertising expense

We expense the costs of producing advertisements the first time the advertising takes place and expense the cost of communicating advertising in the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used. Internet advertising expenses are recognized as incurred based on the terms of the individual agreements, which are generally: 1) a commission for traffic driven to our Website that generates a sale or 2) a referral fee based on the number of clicks on keywords or links to our Website generated during a given period. Advertising expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Prepaid advertising is included in Prepaids and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

Stock-based compensation

We measure compensation expense for our outstanding unvested restricted stock awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards at the greater of a straight-line basis or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of the share-based awards exceeds a straight-line basis. When an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, we recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture. See Note 15—Stock-Based Awards.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of our employee stock purchase plan shares. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price and assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, a risk-free interest rate and any expected dividends.

Loss contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal proceedings and other potential loss contingencies. We accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount, or range of amounts, can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of probable loss can be estimated, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. We expense legal fees as incurred (See Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies).

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We recognize deferred tax assets to the extent that we believe these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including projected future taxable income, scheduled reversals of our deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Our projections of future taxable income are subject to change due to economic outlook, political climate, and other conditions such as supply chain challenges, inflation, rising interest rates, and other macroeconomic conditions, and judgment is required in determining our ability to use our deferred tax assets.

We record uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process whereby (1) we determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated income statements. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in our consolidated balance sheets.

Net income (loss) per share

Our Series A-1 preferred stock and Series B preferred stock (collectively, the "Preferred Shares") were considered participating securities, and as a result, net income (loss) per share has historically been calculated using the two-class method. Under this method, we give effect to preferred dividends and then allocate undistributed net income (loss) attributable to participating securities (based on the weighted average percentage of shares outstanding) in determining net income (loss) attributable to common shares. In periods of net loss, a determination is also made on whether a participating security holder has an obligation to share in the losses before allocating to participating securities. As of December 31, 2022, there were no participating securities following our preferred stock conversion. See Note 14—Stockholders' Equity, Preferred stock conversion, for further information.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares, comprising incremental common shares issuable from the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per common share to the extent such shares are dilutive.
