"On the heels of a record 2020, Overstock continues to execute consistently and delivered strong results for the first quarter of 2021," said Overstock CEO Jonathan Johnson. "Our strong momentum reflects our purposeful and strategic focus on our home business and the operational changes we've made and continue to put in place. For the first quarter, our net revenue increased by 94%, and our active customers nearly doubled again. Our focus on improving the customer experience and making our brand vision of 'Dream Homes for All' a reality is paying off. In addition, our strategic partnership with Pelion Venture Partners for oversight of Medici Ventures' blockchain assets closed ahead of schedule and we believe it will provide the portfolio companies the opportunities they need to succeed. We have had another great quarter of profitable market share growth! We believe Overstock is well positioned to sustain this profitable path through 2021 and beyond. I look forward to providing a full update on our first quarter performance during our earnings call."

Partnership with Pelion Venture Partners

On April 23, 2021, ahead of schedule, Overstock closed its blockchain fund transaction with Pelion Venture Partners, a third-party venture capital firm with a proven track record of successfully investing in early-stage companies, to oversee Medici Ventures' blockchain assets. "I expect Pelion, which will oversee the portfolio and make follow-on investment decisions, will take these companies to the next level and help guide them to economic success. Overstock will now focus on its core e-commerce business, which continues to achieve tremendous revenue, profits and market share growth," noted Johnson. In connection with the transaction, Medici Ventures, Overstock's wholly owned blockchain-focused subsidiary, was converted to a limited partnership (the "Fund"). Overstock is the sole limited partner of the Fund, and Pelion acts as the general partner of the Fund. Pelion now has sole authority and responsibility for the Fund's investment decisions and in exercising all shareholder rights the Fund holds in the portfolio companies. The Fund has an eight-year lifespan and a total capital commitment of $45 million. The Fund will return invested capital to Overstock first and then apportion profits on successful exits as outlined in the Fund's Limited Partnership Agreement.

Financial Reporting Presentation in Accordance with the Pelion Transaction

Medici Ventures' blockchain businesses met the criteria to be reported as held for sale and discontinued operations as of March 31, 2021. Accordingly, we have classified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets and the related operating results as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations, for all periods presented. As a result of the transaction, Overstock has reorganized its remaining businesses into a single reportable operating segment, Retail. Corporate-related overhead costs are included in Retail continuing operations.

Supplemental Operational Data

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, customers' 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:(in thousands, except for LTM net revenue per active customer, average order value and orders per active customer)

Active customers 9,938      5,170   
LTM net revenue per active customer 283      273

Average order value 183      156   
Orders per active customer 1.66      1.70   

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including Adjusted EBITDA and Free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results at both the consolidated and segment level 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 EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as income (loss) 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 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.
