BEYOND INC

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

As the owner of the Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, Zulily, and other related brands and associated intellectual property, our suite of online shopping brands features millions of products for various life stages that millions of customers visit each month.

As used herein, "Beyond," "the Company," "we," "our" and similar terms include Beyond, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2—Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except as disclosed below.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year, due to seasonality and other factors.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, receivables valuation, revenue recognition, loyalty program reward point and gift card breakage, sales returns, inventory valuation, asset useful lives, equity and debt securities valuation, income taxes, stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation, self-funded health insurance liabilities, and contingencies. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, our accounting of these estimates may change from period to period. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may be materially affected.

Change in presentation in the income statement

In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company changed the presentation for merchant fees associated with customer payments made by credit cards and other payment methods and customer service costs. Under the new presentation, the Company includes such expenses in a separate line in operating expenses labeled, "Customer service and merchant fees", whereas previously, these expenses were included in Cost of goods sold.

The Company concluded that such a change in presentation is preferable in the circumstances because the treatment of these costs as operating expenses is aligned with the changes in business and strategy. The change will also provide greater transparency in the Company's external disclosures and related communications with the market.

This change in accounting policy has been applied retrospectively, and the unaudited consolidated statements of operations reflect the effect of this accounting principle change for all periods presented. This change in presentation had no impact on Loss before income taxes, Net loss, or Net loss per share of common stock basic or diluted. The consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows were not impacted by this accounting policy change.

The change in presentation to the Company's unaudited consolidated statements of operations were as follows (in thousands):

Recently issued accounting standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments' significant expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. For public entities, ASU 2023-07 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. For public entities, ASU 2023-09 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This ASU will likely result in us including the additional required disclosures when adopted.

For our investments in Medici Ventures, L.P., tZERO, and SpeedRoute there was no difference in the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and our maximum exposure to loss, and there was no difference between the carrying amount of our investment in Medici Ventures, L.P., and the amount of underlying equity we have in the entity's net assets.

The following table summarizes the net loss recognized on equity method securities recorded in Other expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

Regulation S-X Rule 10-01(b)(1)

In accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, which applies to interim reports on Form 10-Q, the Company must determine if its equity method investees are considered "significant subsidiaries". Summarized income statement information of an equity method investee is required in an interim report if the significance criteria are met as defined under SEC guidance. For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, none of our equity method investees met the significance criteria.

8. BORROWINGS

In March 2020, we entered into two loan agreements. The loan agreements provide a $34.5 million Senior Note, carrying interest at an annual rate of 4.242%, and a $13.0 million Mezzanine Note, carrying interest at an annual rate of 5.002%. The loans carry a blended annual interest rate of 4.45%. The Senior Note is for a 10-year term (stated maturity date is March 6, 2030) and requires interest only payments, with the principal amount and any then unpaid interest due and payable at the end of the 10-year term. The Mezzanine Note has a stated 10-year term, though the agreement requires principal and interest payments monthly over approximately a 46-month payment period. Our debt issuance costs and debt discount are amortized using the straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method.

In January 2024, we repaid the entire outstanding balance under the Mezzanine Note. As of March 31, 2024, the total outstanding debt on the Senior Note was $34.2 million, net of $293,000 in capitalized debt issuance costs. Our total outstanding debt on the Senior Note is classified as held-for-sale and included in Long-term debt, net held for sale on our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4—Assets Held for Sale for further information.

The Senior Note includes certain financial and non-financial covenants and are secured by our corporate headquarters and the related land and rank senior to stockholders. The financial covenants require that Beyond maintain a net worth in excess of $15.0 million and minimum liquid assets of $1.0 million for the remainder of the term that the Senior Note is outstanding. We are in compliance with our debt covenants and continue to monitor our ongoing compliance with our debt covenants.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal proceedings and contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in litigation concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. In connection with such litigation, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages. In some instances, other parties may have contractual indemnification obligations to us. However, such contractual obligations may prove unenforceable or non-collectible, and if we cannot enforce or collect on indemnification obligations, we may bear the full responsibility for damages, fees, and costs resulting from such litigation. We may also be subject to penalties and equitable remedies that could force us to alter important business practices. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The nature of the loss contingencies relating to claims that have been asserted against us are described below.

As previously disclosed, in October 2019, we received a subpoena from the SEC requiring us to produce documents and other information related to the Series A-1 Preferred stock dividend we announced to stockholders in June 2019 and requesting copies of trading plans ("10b5-1 plans") intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") entered into by certain officers and directors. In December 2019, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting our insider trading policies and certain employment and consulting agreements. We also received requests from the SEC for our communications with our former Chief Executive Officer and Director, Patrick Byrne, and the matters referenced in the December 2019 subpoenas. In January 2021, we received a subpoena from the SEC requesting information regarding our retail guidance in 2019 and certain communications with current and former executives, board members, and investors. We continue to cooperate with the SEC on these matters.

On September 27, 2019, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed against us and our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court of Utah, alleging violations under Section 10(b), Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a), and Section 20A of the Exchange Act. On October 8, 2019, October 17, 2019, October 31, 2019, and November 20, 2019, four similar lawsuits were filed in the same court also naming us and the above referenced former executives as defendants, bringing similar claims under the Exchange Act, and seeking similar relief. These cases were consolidated into a single lawsuit in December 2019. The Court appointed The Mangrove Partners Master Fund Ltd. as lead plaintiff in January 2020. In March 2020, an amended consolidated complaint was filed against us, our former President (now Division Chief Executive Officer, Overstock), our former Chief Executive Officer, and our former Chief Financial Officer. We filed a motion to dismiss and, on September 28, 2020, the court granted our motion and entered judgment in our favor. The plaintiffs filed a motion to amend their complaint on October 23, 2020. The United States District Court of Utah granted the plaintiffs' motion to amend their complaint on January 6, 2021. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on January 11, 2021. We filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs' amended complaint, and on September 20, 2021, the court granted our motion and entered judgment in our favor. On October 18, 2021, the plaintiffs filed a Notice of Appeal, appealing the ruling of the district court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. We are awaiting a ruling from the Tenth Circuit that heard oral argument on the appeal on February 9, 2023. No estimates of the possible losses or range of losses can be made at this time. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this consolidated action.

On November 22, 2019, a shareholder derivative suit was filed against us and certain past and present directors and officers of ours in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, with allegations that include: (i) breach of fiduciary duties, (ii) unjust enrichment, (iii) insider selling and misappropriation of the Company's information, and (iv) contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21D of the Exchange Act. On December 17, 2019, a similar lawsuit was filed in the same court, naming the same defendants, bringing similar claims, and seeking similar relief. These cases were consolidated into a single lawsuit in January 2020. In March 2020, the court entered a stay on litigation, pending the outcome of the securities class action motion to dismiss. The case remains stayed pending the outcome of the plaintiffs' appeal to the Tenth Circuit in the securities class action mentioned above. No estimates of the possible losses or range of losses can be made at this time. We intend to vigorously defend these actions.

We establish liabilities when a particular contingency is probable and estimable which are included in Accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our established liabilities were not material.

11. INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES

During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include, but are not limited to, indemnities we entered into in favor of Loan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC under our building loan agreements, various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, the environmental indemnity we entered into in favor of the lenders under our prior loan agreements, customary indemnification arrangements in underwriting agreements and similar agreements, and indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. In addition, the majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. As such, we are unable to estimate with any reasonableness our potential exposure under these items. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We do, however, accrue losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is both probable and reasonably estimable.

12. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common Stock

Each share of common stock has the right toone vote. The holders of common stock are also entitled to receive dividends declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available, subject to prior rights of holders of all classes of stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we didnot repurchase any shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. As of March 31, 2024, we had $69.9 million available for future share repurchases under our current repurchase authorization through December 31, 2025.

13. STOCK-BASED AWARDS

We have equity incentive and compensatory plans that provide for the grant of stock-based awards, including restricted stock and performance shares to employees and board members and provide employees the ability to purchase shares of our common stock through an employee stock purchase plan. Employee accounting applies to equity incentives and compensation granted by the Company to its own employees. When an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, we recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture.

Stock-based compensation expense is classified within the corresponding operating expense categories on our consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

Beyond restricted stock unit awards

The Beyond, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock units and other types of equity awards to employees and directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves grants of restricted stock unit awards to our officers, board members and employees. These restricted stock unit awards generally vest over three years at 33.3% at the end of the first year,33.3% at the end of the second year and 33.4% at the end of the third year, subject to the recipient's continuing service to us. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we changed our vesting schedule for newly granted restricted stock units from three years tofour years. These restricted stock unit awards will vest at 25% each year. For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we granted 193,350 restricted stock awards with a cumulative grant date fair value of $6.7 million under the new vesting schedule.

The cost of restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant and compensation expense is either recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting schedule or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of restricted stock awards exceeds a straight-line basis. The cumulative amount of compensation expense recognized at any point in time is at least equal to the portion of the grant date fair value of the award that is vested at that date.

Performance Shares

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we granted 960,000 performance-based shares ("PSUs") to our executive management team. A portion of each grant of PSUs (25%) is eligible to vest based on our net revenue performance and the remaining portion (75%) is eligible to vest based on our stock price performance. The 2024 PSUs tied to stock price performance will be eligible to vest in three installments upon the achievement of three separate stock price hurdles during the three-year period following the grant date, with 33% of the PSUs earned if the average per-share closing price of our common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $40.00 per share (but in no event prior to the first anniversary of the grant date),33% of the PSUs earned if the average per-share closing price of our common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $50.00 per share (but in no event prior to the second anniversary of the grant date), and 34% of the PSUs earned if the average per share closing price of our common stock over any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $60.00 per share (but in no event prior to the third anniversary of the grant date), in each case subject to the recipient’s continued service through the vesting date. If a stock price hurdle is not achieved during the three years following the grant date, the portion of the award tied to such stock price hurdle will be forfeited.

The 2024 PSUs tied to net revenue performance will vest based on our net revenue over three years, with one-third of the PSUs eligible to vest on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued service through the vesting date. To be eligible to vest in any tranche of the PSUs tied to net revenue performance, we must meet the GAAP net revenue goal established for the applicable year.

For the portion of the 2024 PSU grant that vests based on our net revenue performance, we recognize expense as compensation cost, the fair value on the date of grant over the performance period, taking into account the probability that we will satisfy the performance goals. For the portion of the 2024 PSUs that vest based on stock price hurdles, which is a market condition, we use a Monte Carlo valuation model to estimate the fair value as of the date of grant and expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied.

Stock-based compensation related to the 2024 PSUs is included in the stock-based compensation expense table above combined with the expense associated with our restricted stock units and ESPP. Stock-based compensation related to the PSUs was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes restricted stock unit and PSU award activity (in thousands, except per share data):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Purchases under the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were 56,575 shares and 68,011 shares, respectively, at an average purchase price per share of $16.53 and $16.46, respectively. At March 31, 2024, approximately 2.7 million shares of common stock remained available under the ESPP.

Stock-based compensation related to the ESPP is included in the stock-based compensation expense table above combined with the expense associated with our restricted stock units and PSU. Stock-based compensation related to the ESPP was $346,000 and $548,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

14. REVENUE AND CONTRACT LIABILITY

Unearned Revenue

The following table provides information about unearned revenue from contracts with customers, including significant changes in unearned revenue balances during the periods presented (in thousands):

Our total unearned revenue related to outstanding loyalty program rewards was $12.9 million and $12.1 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Breakage income related to loyalty program rewards and gift cards is recognized in Net revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. Breakage included in revenue was $1.3 million and $849,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition of these reward dollars is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations. At March 31, 2024, we had an additional $5.3 million of unearned contract revenue classified within Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Sales returns allowance

The following table provides additions to and deductions from the sales returns allowance, which is included in our Accrued liabilities balance in our consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 31, 2024, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Indo Count Global, Inc. to sell certain intellectual property related to the Wamsutta brand which was acquired as part of our purchase of the Bed Bath & Beyond brand in June 2023, for a total sales price of $10.3 million in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities. On April 18, 2024, we closed the transaction and received the $10.3 million cash proceeds. We will recognize the entire $10.3 million as a gain in the second quarter of 2024.
