The RealReal (Nasdaq: REAL)—the world’s largest online marketplace
for authenticated, resale luxury goods—today reported financial
results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023. In the
third quarter of 2023, revenue and Adjusted EBITDA exceeded the
high-end of our guidance range for the quarter and GMV exceeded the
mid-point of our guidance. Third quarter 2023 gross merchandise
value (GMV) and total revenue decreased 8% and 7% respectively,
compared to the third quarter of 2022. During the quarter,
consignment revenue grew 10% and direct revenue was 49% lower
compared to the same period in 2022.
“Today we reported our best quarter of Adjusted EBITDA since the
company’s IPO in 2019. Our strategic shift to re-focus on the
higher-margin portion of the consignment business is delivering
significant progress in our results,” said John Koryl, Chief
Executive Officer of The RealReal.
Koryl continued, “During the third quarter, the consignor
commission structure changes we implemented in November 2022 drove
higher take rates and, by design, reduced lower-value consignments.
Furthermore, we continued to transition away from transactions
involving company-owned inventory, which helped to improve our
gross margin rate. These actions resulted in a higher take rate, a
higher gross margin rate, higher gross profit, reduced
company-owned inventory, and a significantly improved Adjusted
EBITDA compared to the prior year period. Looking forward, we
continue to project we are on track to deliver positive Adjusted
EBITDA on a full year basis in 2024.”
Third Quarter Highlights
- GMV was $408 million, a decrease of 8% compared to the same
period in 2022
- Total Revenue was $133 million, a decrease of 7% compared to
the same period in 2022
- Gross Margin was 70.6%, an increase of 1053 basis points
compared to the same period in 2022
- Net Loss was $(22.9) million or (17.2)% of total revenue
compared to $(47.3) million or (33.1)% of total revenue in the same
period in 2022
- Adjusted EBITDA was $(7.0) million or (5.2)% of total revenue
compared to $(28.2) million or (19.7)% of total revenue in the same
period in 2022
- GAAP basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.22) compared
to $(0.49) in the same period in 2022
- Non-GAAP basic and diluted net loss attributable to common
shareholders per share was $(0.15) compared to $(0.38) in the same
period in 2022
- Top-line-related Metrics
- Trailing 12 months (TTM) active buyers was 954,000, an increase
of 1% compared to the same period in 2022
- Orders were 794,000 in the third quarter, a decrease of 17%
compared to the same period in 2022
- Average order value (AOV) was $513, an increase of 11% compared
to the same period in 2022
- Higher AOV was driven by a year-over-year increase in average
selling prices (ASPs) driven by a shift toward higher-value items
and reduced lower-value items, partially offset by a year-over-year
decrease in units per transaction (UPT).
- The Company has engaged Moelis & Company and Wachtell,
Lipton, Rosen & Katz to support the refinancing efforts for the
convertible notes.
Q4 and Full Year 2023 GuidanceBased on market
conditions as of November 7, 2023, we are updating our full year
2023 guidance and providing guidance for fourth quarter 2023 GMV,
total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, which is a Non-GAAP financial
measure.
We have not reconciled forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to net
income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, because
we cannot predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of
certain components of such reconciliations including payroll tax
expense on employee stock transactions that are not within our
control, or other components that may arise, without unreasonable
effort. For these reasons, we are unable to assess the probable
significance of the unavailable information, which could materially
impact the amount of future net income (loss).

Forward Looking StatementsThis press release
contains forward-looking statements relating to, among other
things, the future performance of The RealReal that are based on
the company's current expectations, forecasts and assumptions and
involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify
forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,”
“should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “target,”
“contemplate,” “project,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,”
“intend,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing” or the negative of
these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements
include, but are not limited to, statements about future operating
and financial results, including our strategies, plans,
commitments, objectives and goals, in particular in the context of
the impacts of recent geopolitical events and uncertainty
surrounding macro-economic trends, disruptions in the financial
industry, inflation and the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to
achieve anticipated savings in connection with the savings plan we
implemented in February 2023, our ability to efficiently drive
growth in consignors and buyers through our marketing and
advertising activity, our ability to successfully implement our
growth strategies and their capacity to help us achieve
profitability or generate sustainable revenue and profit, and our
financial guidance, timeline to profitability, and long-range
financial targets and projections. Actual results could differ
materially from those predicted or implied and reported results
should not be considered as an indication of future performance.
Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences
include, but are not limited to, the impact of the public health
emergencies on our operations and our business environment,
inflation, macroeconomic uncertainty, disruptions to the financial
industry, geopolitical instability, any failure to generate a
supply of consigned goods, pricing pressure on the consignment
market resulting from discounting in the market for new goods,
failure to efficiently and effectively operate our merchandising
and fulfillment operations, labor shortages and other reasons.
More information about factors that could affect the company's
operating results is included under the captions “Risk Factors” and
“Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations” in the company's most recent Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by
visiting the company's Investor Relations website at
https://investor.therealreal.com or the SEC's website at

forward-looking statements in this press release, which are based
on information available to the company on the date hereof. The
company assumes no obligation to update such statements.
Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement our
unaudited and condensed financial statements presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),
this earnings release and the accompanying tables and the related
earnings conference call contain certain non-GAAP financial
measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of total revenue (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin”), free cash
flow, non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, and
non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders,
basic and diluted. We have provided a reconciliation of these
non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures in this earnings release.
We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider
such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a
substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Investors should also note that non-GAAP financial measures
we use may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not
be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies,
including other companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance
measure that our management uses to assess our operating
performance. Because Adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal
comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more
consistent basis, we use this measure as an overall assessment of
our performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business
strategies and for business planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other
companies.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net
loss before interest income, interest expense, other (income)
expense net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, further adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation,
employer payroll tax expense on employee stock transactions,
restructuring, and CEO separation benefits, CEO transition costs,
and certain one-time expenses. The employer payroll tax expense
related to employee stock transactions are tied to the vesting or
exercise of underlying equity awards and the price of our common
stock at the time of vesting, which may vary from period to period
independent of the operating performance of our
business. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations as the
measure excludes the impact of certain expenses that are included
in our statements of operations that are necessary to run our
business and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss
or any other measure of financial performance calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP.
In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin facilitates operating
performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the
case of exclusion of the impact of stock-based compensation and the
related employer payroll tax expense on employee stock
transactions, excludes an item that we do not consider to be
indicative of our core operating performance. Investors should,
however, understand that stock-based compensation and the related
employer payroll tax expense will be a significant recurring
expense in our business and an important part of the compensation
provided to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide useful information to
investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating
results in the same manner as our management and board of
directors.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial
measure that is calculated as net cash (used in) provided by
operating activities less net cash used to purchase property and
equipment and capitalized proprietary software development costs.
We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of our business
performance, as it measures the amount of cash we generate.
Accordingly, we believe that free cash flow provides useful
information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating
our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to common
stockholders, basic and diluted is a non-GAAP
financial measure that is calculated as GAAP net loss plus
stock-based compensation expense, provision (benefit) for income
taxes, and non-recurring items divided by weighted average shares
outstanding. We believe that adding back stock-based compensation
expense and related payroll tax, provision (benefit) for income
taxes, and non-recurring items as adjustments to our GAAP net loss,
before calculating per share amounts for all periods presented
provides a more meaningful comparison between our operating results
from period to period.
