Newegg Commerce, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEGG), a leading global
technology e-commerce retailer, today announced results for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and guidance for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2024.
Newegg Chief Executive Officer Anthony Chow announced, “Despite
the challenging environment, we remain optimistic for an exciting
new product launch cycle in the second part of the year, including
next generation GPUs and CPUs from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA. The range
of new product launches are catered towards the increasing consumer
demand for AI-driven computing performance, and Newegg believes we
are well-positioned to help meet that demand. In addition, we
expect several key initiatives to continue to gain traction in the
second half of the year, including a focused expansion into
adjacent marketplace verticals, a new AI PC product line for ABS,
and the launch of Newegg Refreshed, our line of professionally
refurbished products offered at an affordable price and backed by
our 90-day Refreshed Guarantee. We are also excited about the
launch of our recently announced loyalty program, Newegg+, which
offers customers an opportunity to enjoy free shipping, exclusive
member-only discounts, early access to the latest product launches,
and other valuable benefits. Finally, we look forward to welcoming
our valued employees to our new headquarters in Diamond Bar,
California in the second half of the year, where we look to
continue to foster growth and connection across our
organization.”
Newegg Chief Accounting Officer Christina Ching noted, “In 2023,
we improved our efficiency to cope with conservative consumer
spending due to the macroeconomic environment. In response to this
challenge, Newegg implemented multiple cost optimization
initiatives, including our real estate consolidation efforts, and
expects full realization of the cost saving benefits in 2024. We
also increased our average inventory turnover rate and reduced
total inventory from $156.0 million as of December 31, 2022, to
$136.2 million as of December 31, 2023. Our cash position decreased
from $122.6 million as of December 31, 2022 to $102.5 million as of
December 31, 2023 after factoring in the $23.2 million cash
purchase of our new corporate headquarters building in Diamond Bar,
California. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2023, we had no
outstanding balance under our $100 million credit facility.
Finally, we have repurchased $2.0 million of our common stock
during the first quarter of 2024 under our $10.0 million share
repurchase program and expect to continue to opportunistically
repurchase shares throughout the remainder of the year.”

Non-GAAP Financial
Information
This press release presents certain “non-GAAP” financial
measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by
using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in
this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial
measures is included in the schedules attached hereto.
GMV
The Company defines gross merchandise value, or GMV, as the
total dollar value of products sold on its websites and third-party
marketplace platforms, directly to customers and by its Marketplace
sellers through Newegg Marketplace, net of returns, discounts,
taxes, and cancellations. GMV also includes the services fees
charged through its Newegg Partner Services (“NPS”) in rendering
services for its third-party logistics (“3PL”), shipped-by-Newegg
(“SBN”), staffing and media ad services, as well as the sales made
by its Asia subsidiaries.
Adjusted EBITDA
Newegg calculates Adjusted EBITDA as net income/loss, excluding
stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization
expense, interest income, net, income tax (benefit) provision,
gain/loss from warrants liabilities, and gain/loss from sales of
investment.
Newegg believes that exclusion of certain expenses in
calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance
comparisons on a period-to-period basis and excludes items that it
does not consider to be indicative of its core operating
performance. Accordingly, Newegg believes that Adjusted EBITDA
provides useful information to investors and others in
understanding and evaluating its operating results in the same
manner as its management and board of directors.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you
should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis
of Newegg’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these
limitations are: although depreciation and amortization are
non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may
have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not
reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements
or for new capital expenditure requirements; Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the working
capital needs; Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially
dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; Adjusted EBITDA does
not reflect tax payments that may represent reduction in cash
available to Newegg; and other companies, including companies in
our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which
reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these
limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other
financial performance measures, including various cash flow
metrics, operating profit and Newegg’s other GAAP results.
