Adjusted EBITDA was $3.9M, down from $17M a year ago.
Announced $40M preferred equity investment from Beyond, Inc., contingent on refinancing or amending credit facilities.
1-for-15 reverse stock split completed in September 2024, restoring NYSE compliance.
Financial highlights
Gross margin declined 210 bps to 55.5% in Q2, mainly due to increased promotions and unfavorable mix.
SG&A expenses were $105.2M (53.5% of sales), up as a percentage of sales due to deleverage and higher marketing spend.
Q2 2024 net loss: $16.1M; adjusted net loss: $10.7M; Q2 2024 adjusted EBITDA: $3.9M.
Free cash flow for H1 2024 was negative $10.6M, compared to negative $1.3M last year.
Cash at quarter end: $66.1M; total debt: $232M; total liquidity: $96.5M.
Outlook and guidance
No financial guidance provided due to pending Beyond, Inc. transaction; Q3 started challenging due to tough comparison with last year’s Elfa anniversary sale.
Persistently challenging retail environment and reduced consumer spending continue to impact performance.
Substantial doubt exists regarding ability to continue as a going concern without additional liquidity or credit facility modifications.
The company is actively working to amend or refinance credit facilities and close the Beyond equity investment.
Strategic priorities include growing Custom Spaces, stabilizing general merchandise, and increasing brand awareness.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
