2 Total comparable sales include showroom transactions through the point of sale and internet net sales.3 Comparable showroom sales reflect transactions through the point of sale and not necessarily product that has shipped to the customer. Product that has shipped to the customer is included in Net Sales.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended January 29, 2023:

• The net sales increase of 21.7% was driven by growth across all sales channels. Showroom net sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierges, increased 20.6%. Internet net sales increased 26.4%, and our Other channel increased 13.6%. The increase in showroom net sales was driven by an increase of 10.2% in comparable showroom sales related to a strong holiday promotional campaign and the net addition of eight new showrooms which includes the closing of one showroom and one kiosk compared to the prior year period. Internet net sales also increased due to the same promotional campaign. The increase in net sales in our Other channel reflects the addition of 33 new Costco in store pop-up-shops, and the operation of 22 Best Buy shop-in-shops, partially offset by lower productivity in our online pop-up-shops on Costco.com.

• Gross profit increased $25.6 million, or 23.4%, to $135.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 from $109.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Gross margin increased 70 basis points to 56.6% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 from 55.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, primarily driven by a decrease of approximately 190 basis points in total freight which includes tariff expenses and warehousing costs, partially offset by a decrease of 120 basis points in product margin. The decrease in total freight including tariffs and warehousing costs over the prior year period is principally related to a 290 basis point decrease in inbound container freight costs and decreased tariffs related to lower product sourced from China, partially offset by volume deleverage in warehousing costs and higher outbound transportation costs. The product margin decrease is driven by higher promotions.

• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales decreased by 60 basis points due to higher leverage of approximately 330 bps within general operating expenses, selling related expenses related to a fiscal 2022 sales agent fee settlement and employment costs, partially offset by deleverage of approximately 270 bps in equity-based compensation, credit card fees, and rent. The deleverage in equity-based compensation is driven by an increase in expense related to long term performance awards granted in fiscal 2021 for which the performance metrics were achieved in fiscal 2023. Rent deleverage is related to our increase in touchpoints to support our ongoing growth. Credit card fee deleverage is related to the increase in customer utilization of credit coupled with the impact of the increase in interest rates on credit card fees.

• Advertising and marketing expense increased 1.2% due to continued investments in marketing spend to support our net sales growth and a reduction in test and learn programs from fiscal 2022. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing decreased by 220 basis points due to improved performance in our media activities.

• Operating income was $38.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $24.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating margin was 15.9% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to 12.3% of net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

• Net income was $27.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 or $1.74 per diluted share compared to $32.6 million or $2.03 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $10.4 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $8.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. The tax benefit recognized for the thirteen weeks ended January 30, 2022 was primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on the Company’s net deferred tax assets in fiscal 2022, which had a positive impact on diluted earnings per share for the quarter in fiscal 2022. The valuation allowance was fully released as of the end of fiscal year 2022.

Highlights for the Fiscal Year Ended January 29, 2023:

• The net sales increase of 30.8% was driven by growth across all channels. Showroom net sales, which include kiosks and mobile concierges, increased 33.3%. Internet net sales increased 17.2%, and our Other channel increased 57.3%. The increase in showroom net sales was driven by an increase of 24.7% in comparable showroom sales related to higher point of sales transactions, strong promotional campaigns and the net addition of 46 new showrooms and 5 kiosks compared to the prior fiscal year. The Internet net sales increase was driven by the same strong promotional campaigns. The increase in net sales in our Other channel reflects the operation of 22 Best Buy shop-in-shops and the addition of 113 new Costco in store pop-up-shops, and lower productivity in our online pop-up-shops on Costco.com in fiscal 2023.

• Gross profit increased $72.5 million, or 26.5%, to $345.8 million in fiscal 2023 from $273.3 million in fiscal 2022. Gross margin decreased to 53.1% of net sales in fiscal 2023 from 54.9% of net sales in fiscal 2022. The decrease in gross margin percentage of 180 basis points was primarily driven by an increase of 160 basis points in total freight which includes tariff expenses and warehousing costs and a decrease of 20 basis points in product margin. The increase in total freight over the prior year period is related to 90 basis points deleverage in warehousing expense and outbound freight costs and 70 basis point increase in inbound container freight costs. The product margin decrease is driven by higher promotional discounting, partially offset by a benefit from continuing vendor negotiations to assist with the mitigation of tariffs and additional one-time US dollar denominated rebates related to currency impact.

• SG&A expense as a percent of net sales increased 70 basis points in fiscal 2023 due to deleveraging of approximately 230 bps in employment costs, credit card fees, equity-based compensation, and travel, partially offset by leverage of approximately 160 bps within general operating expenses and sales agent fees related to a fiscal 2022 fee settlement. The deleverage in payroll and travel relates to the continuous investments we are making into the business to support our ongoing growth. The deleverage in equity-based compensation is driven by an increase in expense related to long term performance awards granted in fiscal 2021 for which the performance metrics were achieved in fiscal 2023. Credit card fee deleverage is related to the increase in customer utilization of credit coupled with the impact of the increase in interest rates on credit card fees.

• Advertising and marketing expense increased 22.7% due to the ongoing investments in marketing spends to support our net sales growth. As a percent of net sales, advertising and marketing decreased by 80 bps due to improved performance in our media activities.

• Operating income was $39.0 million in fiscal 2023 compared to $38.4 million in fiscal 2022. Operating margin was 6.0% of net sales in fiscal 2023 compared to 7.7% of net sales in fiscal 2022.

• Net income was $28.2 million or $1.77 per diluted share in fiscal 2023 compared to $45.9 million or $2.86 per diluted share in fiscal 2022. During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $10.7 million as compared to an income tax benefit of $7.6 million in fiscal 2022 related to the release of the valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets which had a positive impact on diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2022 . The valuation allowance was fully released as of the end of fiscal year 2022.

Other Financial Highlights as of January 29, 2023:

• The cash and cash equivalents balance as of January 29, 2023 was $43.5 million as compared to $92.4 million as of January 30, 2022. There was no balance on the Company’s line of credit as of January 29, 2023 or January 30, 2022. The Company’s availability under the line of credit was $36.0 million and $22.5 million as of January 29, 2023 and January 30, 2022, respectively. On March 24, 2023, we amended our existing credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2024. The maximum revolver commitment under our credit agreement is $40.0 million, subject to borrowing base and availability restrictions.

• Total merchandise inventory was $120.0 million as of January 29, 2023 as compared to $108.5 million as of January 30, 2022 with the year over year change principally related to a stock inventory increase of $19.8 million coupled with a decrease in freight capitalization of $8.9 million related to a decrease in inbound freight costs.

Non-GAAP Information

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as a non-GAAP financial measure by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that is a supplemental measure of financial performance not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include management fees, equity-based compensation expense, write-offs of property and equipment, deferred rent, financing expenses and certain other charges and gains that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance. We have reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure within the schedules attached hereto. Statements regarding our expectations as to fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA do not include certain charges and costs. The adjustments to EBITDA in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from Adjusted EBITDA in prior periods, including (i) items such as share-based compensation, asset impairments, one time executive compensation and (ii) items that are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual in nature such as litigation settlements. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial guidance to the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing of certain events that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company’s control.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures not only provide its management with comparable financial data for internal financial analysis but also provide meaningful supplemental information to investors. Specifically, these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to better understand the performance of our business, facilitate a more meaningful comparison of our actual results on a period-over-period basis and provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We have provided this information as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations alongside GAAP measures such as gross profit, operating income (loss) and net income (loss). Other companies in our industry may calculate these items differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share as a measure of financial performance, cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.
