Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the Company’s consolidated domestic and international subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, during the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company identified prior period misstatements related to the elimination of intercompany balances and right of return assets. Although the Company concluded that these misstatements were not material, either individually or in the aggregate, the Company elected to revise its previously issued consolidated financial statements to correct for these misstatements. These misstatements impacted the fiscal years 2020 to 2022.

The revision of the previously issued consolidated financial statements is presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. For further detail, refer to Note 19 – Revision for Immaterial Misstatements.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including previously reported inventories in the consolidated statement of cash flows which were disclosed net of $5.1 million and $1.1 million inventory write-down for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We reclassified the inventory write-down in the prior period to conform to the current period presentation of inventory write-down as an adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash from operating activities. This reclassification had no effect on the previously reported net cash used for operating activities.
