Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

  1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Beyond, Inc. is an asset-light ecommerce company that owns or has ownership interests in various retail brands and has created a cooperative affinity model, with the aim of offering a comprehensive array of products and services that enable its customers to unlock their homes' potential through its vast data cooperative. We currently own Overstock, Bed Bath & Beyond, Baby & Beyond, Zulily, and other related brands and associated intellectual property.

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

  1. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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.
