SALT LAKE CITY, July 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:OSTK) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights, from continuing operations
• Total net revenue was $795 million, an increase of 4% year over year • Gross profit was $175 million or 22.0% of total net revenue • Income from continuing operations was $82 million • Diluted earnings per share was $1.72 • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $44 million, which represents 5.6% of net revenue • YTD net cash provided by operating activities was $120 million • At the end of the second quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $536 million "In a significant quarter for the company, I am proud to report Overstock delivered both growth and profitability in the second quarter of 2021 as we lapped the start of the pandemic," said Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson. "Our strong and consistent results stem from foundational operational improvements in the business, a disciplined strategy, and intense focus. The furniture and home furnishings market is large and growing. We expect this market to benefit from strong and sustained demand, and to continue to migrate online over time. Overstock remains well positioned to capture market share and sustain its profitable trajectory through the remainder of 2021 and beyond."
"In addition to our solid operating results, Overstock recorded two significant accounting items in the second quarter," continued Johnson. "First, based on our consistent profitability and current go-forward outlook, we have released $47 million of our tax valuation allowance. This release illustrates confidence in our ability to continue to deliver sustainable, profitable market share growth. Second, in conjunction with the closing of the transaction with Pelion Venture Partners, we recognized a $228 million net gain, included in discontinued operations. It is great to have the Pelion transaction closed and the Pelion team focused on the Medici Ventures Fund companies."
Second Quarter 2021 Operational Highlights
• Active customers reached 9.2 million as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 31% year over year • LTM net revenue per active customer was $310 as of June 30, 2021, an increase of 20% year over year • Orders delivered in the second quarter of 2021 were 3.7 million, a decrease of 22% year over year • Average order value was $213 for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 33% year over year • Orders per active customer, measured as LTM orders divided by active customers, was 1.69 for the second quarter of 2021, compared to 1.62 for the second quarter of 2020 • Orders placed on a mobile device were 49.9% of gross merchandise sales in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 52.7% for the second quarter of 2020 Partnership with Pelion Ventures Partners
On April 23, 2021, we entered into a Limited Partnership Agreement with Pelion MV GP, L.L.C. ("Pelion"), in which Pelion became the sole general partner, holding a 1% equity interest in the partnership, and Overstock became a limited partner, holding a 99% equity interest in the partnership. Commensurate with closing, we recognized a $228 million gain during the quarter, net of income taxes, as part of income from discontinued operations, as we recorded the fair value of our retained equity method investments in the partnership and tZERO. Additionally, our retained equity interest in the limited partnership and tZERO were recognized as equity method investments on our consolidated balance sheets in the amount of $330 million.
Financial Reporting Presentation in Accordance with the Pelion Transaction
Medici Ventures' blockchain businesses, including tZERO, met the criteria to be reported as held for sale and discontinued operations as of March 31, 2021, due to their anticipated deconsolidation. As a result of closing the transaction during the second quarter of 2021, these businesses' operating results for the periods prior to deconsolidation have been reflected in our consolidated statements of income as discontinued operations. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities of these businesses associated with the prior periods are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated balance sheets. As a result of closing this transaction, Overstock has reorganized its remaining businesses into a single reportable operating segment, Retail. Corporate-related overhead costs are included in Retail continuing operations.
Release of Tax Valuation Allowance
Each quarter we assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. In our assessment for the period ended June 30, 2021, we concluded it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets related to United States federal income and all states with the exception of Utah will be realizable, therefore, we released approximately $47 million of our valuation allowance. We still maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets for capital losses and the state of Utah.

We measure our business using operational metrics, in addition to the financial metrics shown above and the non-GAAP financial measures explained below. We believe these metrics provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, including indicators of our growth, customer purchasing patterns, and the mix of products purchased by our customers.
Active customers represents the total number of unique customers who have made at least one purchase during the prior twelve-month period. This metric captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase during the prior twelve-month period.
LTM net revenue per active customer represents total net revenue in a twelve-month period divided by the total number of active customers for the same twelve-month period.
Orders delivered represents the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and in those circumstances we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.
Average order value is defined as total net revenue in any given period divided by the total number of orders delivered in that period.
Orders per active customer is defined as orders delivered in a twelve-month period divided by active customers for the same twelve-month period.
The following table provides key operating metrics for the Retail business:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and ReconciliationsWe are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share for continuing operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income from continuing operations less the benefit for income taxes associated with our tax valuation allowance release. We believe that this adjustment to our adjusted diluted net income before calculating per share amounts for the current period presented provides a useful comparison between our operating results from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. We believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by or used in continuing operating activities reduced by expenditures for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the continuing operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
