Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1stdibs.com, Ltd. and 1stdibs Design Manager, Inc. (“Design Manager”). The Company sold its equity interest in Design Manager on June 29, 2022, therefore, the consolidated statements of operations include activity relating to Design Manager through the sale date. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 no longer includes the assets, liabilities, and equity amounts associated with Design Manager.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, provision for transaction losses, determination of useful lives of property and equipment, valuation and useful lives of
intangible assets, impairment assessment of goodwill, capitalization of internal-use software and determination of useful lives, stock option valuations, the incremental borrowing rate associated with lease liabilities, income taxes, and the recognition and disclosure of contingent liabilities. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency and Currency Translation
Foreign Currency and Currency Translation
The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign operation is the currency of the primary cash flow of the operation, which is generally the local currency in which the operation is located. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during the period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as a translation adjustment, which is included in the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in foreign exchange gain (loss) in total other, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Segment Information
Segment Information
An operating segment is defined as a component of a business for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. The Company’s single reportable and operating segment contains one reporting unit, which consists of the Company’s online marketplace that enables commerce between sellers and buyers.
Business Combinations
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The Company measures the tangible and intangible identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and contingent consideration at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Measurement period adjustments, if any, to the preliminary estimated fair value of the intangibles assets as of the acquisition date are recorded in goodwill. The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Acquisition-related expenses represent expenses incurred by the Company to effect a business combination, including expenses such as finder’s fees and advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees, and are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as an expense in the period in which the costs are incurred or the services are rendered.
Concentrations of Credit Risk Concentrations of Credit RiskFinancial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are placed with large financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. At times, the Company’s cash balances with individual banking institutions are in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any credit losses related to its cash and cash equivalents balance.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
The following represents the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of the periods presented:
December 31,
202220212020
Cash and cash equivalents$153,209$168,226$54,862
Restricted cash, current1,500
Restricted cash, non-current3,3343,3333,333
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$158,043$171,559$58,195
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company’s restricted cash relates to a $3.3 million letter of credit for its
office lease in New York, New York, as well as $1.5 million which is held in a joint escrow account for 12 months from the date of the sale of Design Manager. The carrying value of the restricted cash approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts Receivable, net
The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at amounts billed to sellers, generally for subscription revenue, and are presented net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s accounts receivable do not bear interest and do not require collateral or other security to support related receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts are estimated based on a number of factors, including age of the receivable, historical losses, and management’s assessment of the financial condition of sellers. The evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the un-collectability of a receivable is confirmed and subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable. Adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded as a component of provision for transaction losses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Receivables from Payment Processors and Payables Due to Sellers
Receivables from Payment Processors and Payables Due to Sellers
Receivables from payment processors represent amounts received from buyers via third-party payment processors which will be deposited by the payment processors to 1stDibs’ bank accounts for payment to sellers and shipping carriers. The Company also collects sales tax from buyers on behalf of sellers in certain jurisdictions as a marketplace facilitator and remits these collected taxes directly to the tax authorities.
The portion of the cash and related receivable remaining after deducting the Company’s commission and processing fees represents the total payables due to third parties, which consists of payables due to sellers, payables due to shipping carriers in instances where 1stDibs’ shipping services are elected by sellers, and payables due to tax authorities. The Company establishes an allowance for seller refunds for amounts that sellers owe the Company after a return is processed. The allowance for seller refunds was $0.3 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively and included in other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives.
The Company capitalizes costs related to internal-use software during the application development stage, including consulting costs and compensation expenses related to employees who devote time to the development projects. The Company records software development costs in property and equipment, net. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development activities and post implementation activities are expensed in the period incurred and are included in technology development in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Once the project is available for general release, capitalization ceases, and asset amortization begins. Capitalized costs associated with internal-use software are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, which is generally three years, and are included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
The general range of useful lives of property and equipment is as follows:
Estimated Useful Life
Leasehold improvementsLesser of lease term or life of asset
Furniture and fixtures3 years
Computer equipment and software3 years
Internal-use software
Lesser of contract term or 3 years
When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts, with any resulting gain or loss recorded in income from operations in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
When events occur or changes in circumstances require, the Company assesses the likelihood of recovering the cost of tangible long-lived assets based on its expectations of future profitability, undiscounted cash flows, and management’s plans with respect to operations to determine if the asset is impaired and subject to write-off. Measurement of any impairment loss is
based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. The Company’s goodwill is evaluated at the entity level as it is determined there is one reporting unit, 1stDibs. Prior to the sale of Design Manager in June 2022, the Company’s goodwill was evaluated at the reporting unit level, based on the Company having two reporting units, 1stDibs and Design Manager.
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1st or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then additional impairment testing is not required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative assessment for impairment.
The quantitative assessment involves comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with its respective book value, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is not impaired. If the book value of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
The Company’s intangible assets included customer relationships, trade names and associated trademarks, acquired and developed technology, and other intangibles such as patents and non-compete agreements obtained through business acquisitions. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value using generally accepted valuation methods deemed appropriate for the type of intangible asset acquired, and reported net of accumulated amortization, separately from goodwill. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as presented below:
AssetEstimated Useful Life
Customer relationships15 years
Trade names and associated trademarks
5-10 years
Acquired and developed technology3 years
Other3 years
When events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the assets for impairment. The Company measures recoverability by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows that the assets or asset groups are expected to generate. If the carrying value of the assets are not recoverable, the impairment recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were no impairment losses recorded.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, substantially all of the intangible assets, net were included in the sale of Design Manager; therefore, as of December 31, 2022, there are no intangible assets, net subject to amortization on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Leases
Leases
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, utilizing the modified retrospective adoption approach. The Company enters into contracts in the normal course of business and assesses whether any such contracts contain a lease. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception if it conveys the right to control the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company classifies leases as operating or financing in nature, and records the associated right-of-use asset and lease liability on its consolidated balance sheet. The lease liability represents the present value
of future lease payments, net of lease incentives, discounted using an incremental borrowing rate, which is a management estimate based on the information available at the commencement date of a lease arrangement.
Lease expense is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease term consists of non-cancelable periods and may include options, including those to extend or terminate, if it is reasonably certain they will be exercised. The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components related to operating leases as a single lease component. The Company has elected that costs associated with leases having an initial term of 12 months or less ("short-term leases") are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and are not recorded on the balance sheet. Variable lease expense is recognized as incurred and consists primarily of real estate taxes, utilities, and other office space related expenses.
Prior to adoption, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and prior, the Company accounted for leases under ASC 840, whereby rent expense associated with operating leases was recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Contingencies
Contingencies
The Company has certain contingent liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. The Company accrues for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not accrue for contingent losses that, in its judgment, are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value in accordance with GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, and similar techniques.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses, receivables from payment processors, accounts payable, payables due to sellers, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company considers all expected future events other than enactment of changes in tax laws or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded, if necessary, to reduce net deferred tax assets to their realizable values if management does not believe it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of the authoritative guidance from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. These provisions provide a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in the financial statements of uncertain income tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under these provisions, a company can recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more
likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. Assessing an uncertain tax position begins with the initial determination of the sustainability of the position and is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of each balance sheet date, unresolved uncertain tax positions must be reassessed. Additionally, the Company must accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the provision for income taxes. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The Company assesses foreign investment levels periodically to determine if all or a portion of the Company’s investments in its foreign subsidiary are indefinitely invested. Any required adjustment to the income tax provision (benefit) would be reflected in the period that the Company changes this assessment.
The Company recognizes the tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) earned by foreign subsidiaries as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred.
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company applies the two-class method to compute basic and diluted net loss per share when shares meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period has been distributed. During periods of loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period without consideration of potentially dilutive common stock. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including potential dilutive common shares. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders because potentially dilutive shares of common stock are not assumed to have been issued since their effect is anti-dilutive.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s net revenue consists principally of seller marketplace services, advertisements, and prior to the sale of Design Manager, software services. Seller marketplace services primarily consist of marketplace transactions, subscriptions, and listing fees. Revenue is recognized as the Company transfers control of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company evaluates whether it is appropriate to recognize revenue on a gross or net basis based upon its evaluation of whether the Company obtains control of the specified goods or services by considering if it is primarily responsible for fulfillment of the promise, has inventory risk, has the latitude in establishing pricing and selecting suppliers, among other factors. The Company does not have any remaining performance obligations associated with contracts with terms greater than one year.
Seller Marketplace Services (Marketplace Transactions, Subscriptions, and Listings)
The Company charges sellers commission and processing fees for successful purchases through its online marketplace. For the items purchased through the 1stDibs online marketplace, the Company collects the gross merchandise value from the buyer, but the Company recognizes the associated revenue on a net basis, which equates to the commission and processing fees earned in exchange for the seller marketplace services. The commission fees range from 5% to 50% and processing fees are 3%, net of expected refunds. If a seller accepts a return or refund of an on-platform purchase, the related commission and processing fees are refunded to the seller. The Company records discounts provided to the end buyer, to whom the Company has no performance obligation, such as promotional discounts, in sales and marketing expense since the discounts are not related directly to the Company’s revenue source but rather used as a marketing tool, and the seller is not made aware of the discounts provided to the end buyer. The commission and processing fees are recognized net of estimated refunds when the corresponding transaction is confirmed by the buyer and seller. The Company does not take title to inventory sold or assume risk of loss at any point in time during the transaction and is authorized to collect consideration from the buyer and remit net consideration to the seller to facilitate the processing of the confirmed purchase transaction.
In January 2022, the Company launched new seller pricing tiers which allow sellers to choose the plan that best fits their business and includes choices of a higher monthly subscription fee and lower commission rates, as well as a subscription-free tier with higher commission rates. Depending on the tier chosen, sellers may pay annual subscription fees to access our online marketplace. The Company sells subscriptions to access the 1stDibs online marketplace, which allow sellers to promote and list items to be sold to buyers and execute successful purchase transactions with buyers for lower commission rates. Through the subscription, the sellers receive the benefit of marketplace activities for lower commission rates, including listing items for sale, completing sales transactions, and payments processing, which represents a single stand-ready performance obligation. The Company has determined that its customers are sellers on its online marketplace since sellers pay for the use of the platform to sell their inventory. The Company offers sellers annual subscriptions that are payable on a monthly basis and the subscription fee is recognized monthly. If during the annual subscription period a seller ceases to make its monthly payment, the Company is no longer obligated to provide the subscribed services and the seller can be terminated at the Company’s sole discretion.
The Company earns listing fees from sellers who are subscribed to its online marketplace on a per item basis as directed by the seller to promote certain items at the seller’s discretion. Listing fees are recognized ratably over time when the listing is publicly posted.
Advertisements
Advertising revenue is generated by displaying seller ads on the 1stDibs online marketplace. For advertising services, the Company enters into agreements with advertisers, or sellers, in the form of signed insertion orders, which specify the terms of services and fees, prior to advertising campaigns being run. The Company recognizes revenue from the display of impression-based ads in the period in which the impressions are delivered in accordance with the contractual terms of the insertion orders. Impressions are considered delivered when an ad is displayed to users.
Software Services
Through the Company’s former subsidiary, Design Manager, the Company offered subscriptions to access software typically used by interior designers. Subscriptions did not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications and, as a result, were accounted for as service contracts. The Company offered both monthly and annual subscriptions. For software services, the Company offered subscriptions to customers that were tailored to design firms as an end-to-end business solution for project management and accounting and entered into agreements with the customers through their acceptance of online terms of service, which specified the terms of services and fees, prior to the customers receiving access to the software platform. On June 29, 2022, the Company sold Design Manager and no revenue related to software services has been recognized since the sale date.
Contract Costs
The Company capitalizes commission costs that are incremental and directly related to the acquisition of seller agreements. Commissions are earned by the Company’s sales force when the seller’s listings are publicly visible and available for purchase on the 1stDibs online marketplace. Commission costs are capitalized when earned and are amortized as expense over an estimated seller relationship period of three years. The Company determined the estimated seller relationship period by taking into consideration the contractual term of the seller agreements, the seller’s lifetime expected value, and the fact that no additional commission is paid for renewed seller agreements.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded, $0.5 million of costs to obtain revenue contracts of which $0.3 million was included in other current assets, and $0.2 million was included in other assets. As of December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $0.5 million of costs to obtain revenue contracts of which $0.3 million was included in other current assets, and $0.2 million was included in other assets. Amortization of costs to obtain revenue contracts totaled $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and are included in sales and marketing in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company periodically reviews the costs to obtain revenue contracts to determine whether events or changes in circumstances have occurred that could impact the period of benefit of these costs to obtain revenue contracts.
Contract Balances from Contracts with Customers
A contract liability is an obligation to transfer goods or services for which consideration has been received or is due to a customer. Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue that is unearned related to setup fees charged to new sellers at the inception of service and advertising fees charged to advertisers for which advertisements have not been delivered. Prior to the sale of Design Manager deferred revenue also included software subscription fees. Deferred revenue for setup fees is recognized as revenue over the expected life of the seller relationship, which the Company determined to be three years.
Deferred revenue for software and advertising fees is recognized as revenue in the periods in which services are provided. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, deferred revenue was $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The current portion of deferred revenue was $0.1 million and $0.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The non-current portion of deferred revenue was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and are included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes payment processor fees, hosting expenses, and resold software usage and services. No resold software usage and services expense has been recognized after the sale of Design Manager. Cost of revenue also includes expenses associated with payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, other headcount-related expenses associated with personnel supporting revenue-related operations, amortization of internal-use software, and consulting costs.
In certain transactions where 1stDibs shipping and logistics services are elected by sellers, the Company enables shipping of items purchased from the seller to the buyer. Any difference between the amount collected for shipping and the amount charged by the shipping carrier is included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, other headcount-related expenses associated with sales and marketing personnel, advertising expense, consulting costs, and promotional discounts offered to new and existing buyers. Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs incurred promoting and marketing the Company’s online marketplace, such as costs associated with acquiring new users through performance-based marketing, social media, email, and events. Promotional discounts and incentives represent incentives solely to end buyers and, therefore, are not considered payments made to the Company’s customers. Buyers are not customers because access to the 1stDibs online marketplace is free for buyers and the Company has no performance obligations with respect to buyers.
The Company expenses all advertising expenses as incurred.
Technology Development
Technology Development
Technology development expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, and other headcount-related expenses associated with engineering and product development personnel and consulting costs related to technology development. The Company expenses all technology development expenses as incurred. Expenses that meet the criteria for capitalization as internal-use software are capitalized to property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and amortized over their useful life. This amortization expense related to internal-use software is included in cost of revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.
General and Administrative
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses include payroll, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, other headcount-related expenses associated with finance, legal, facility and human resources related personnel, lease expense, business liability insurance, accounting, professional fees, and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment. The Company expenses all general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Provision for Transaction Losses
Provision for Transaction Losses
Provision for transaction losses consists primarily of losses resulting from the Company’s buyer protection program, including damages to products caused by shipping and transit, items that were not received or not as represented by the seller, and reimbursements to buyers at the Company’s discretion if they are dissatisfied with their experience. The provision for transaction losses also includes bad debt expense associated with the Company’s accounts receivable.
Restructuring Charges Restructuring ChargesIn September 2022, the Company announced and implemented a restructuring plan to reduce operational costs and realign investment priorities involving the reduction of approximately 10% of the Company’s workforce. As a result of the reduction, the Company incurred approximately $0.7 million in non-recurring restructuring charges, consisting primarily of employee severance and benefits costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors, and non-employees based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires inputs based on certain subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s common stock, expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of the option, and the Company’s expected dividend yield. Expected volatility was calculated based on the implied volatilities from market comparisons of certain publicly traded companies and other factors. The expected option term was calculated based on the simplified method, which uses the midpoint between the vesting date and the contractual term, as the Company does not have sufficient historical data to develop an estimate based on participant behavior. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury bond yield with an equivalent term. The Company has not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay dividends. The fair value of restricted stock units are estimated on the date of grant based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock.
The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB under its ASC or other standard setting bodies. The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes the leasing guidance in Topic 840, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. An entity
may adopt the guidance either (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment recognized at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or (2) retrospectively at the beginning of the period of adoption through a cumulative-effect adjustment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities, and for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, for all other entities.
The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, which resulted in the Company recording $24.5 million of operating lease right-of-use assets, and $2.7 million and $24.4 million of operating lease liabilities, classified as current and non-current, respectively, on its balance sheet. The adoption did not have a material effect on the statement of operations. The Company utilized the modified retrospective adoption approach, whereby all prior periods continue to be reported under previous lease accounting guidance. The Company elected the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to lease identification, classification and initial direct costs, and did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which would have permitted the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. See Note 9, "Leases" for further discussion on the Company's accounting for leases under ASC 842.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions with ASC 740, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020 for public business entities and for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 for all other entities. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022, which did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13, as subsequently amended for various technical issues, is effective for emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company plans to adopt this standard on January 1, 2023 and, based on the Company’s current mix of financial assets, does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
