Previous wording

We must continue to drive revenue growth to be successful. To effectively drive growth, we must continue to enhance customer experience and attract and retain customers (particularly subscribers), iterate our subscription products, invest in digital consumer innovation, expand our brand awareness and marketing, and upgrade our management information and reverse logistics systems and other processes. Our growth and growth strategies have in the past strained, and could in the future strain, our existing resources, and we could experience ongoing operating difficulties in managing our business across numerous jurisdictions, including difficulties in hiring, training, and managing our broad employee base. Failure to scale and preserve our Company culture as we grow could also harm our future success, including our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives.

Our growth strategy is focused on continuing to grow, engage, and retain our subscriber and customer base, expanding our brand partner relationships and product assortment, increasing our advertising and other marketing spending, and continuing to invest in our offerings and technology. The majority of our revenue is generated by our subscribers. Our base subscription plans range in priceand customers can customize their subscription monthly by purchasing additional slots and shipments. Our subscriptions renew automatically on a monthly basis and subscribers may disable automatic renewal by canceling or pausing their subscription prior to the next month’s bill date. As a result, even though a significant number of subscribers have historically renewed their monthly subscription, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain a significant portion of subscribers beyond the existing monthly subscription periods. In addition, any limitation or restriction imposed on our ability to bill our subscribers on a recurring basis, enforce our terms of service or collect data or deliver relevant promotions or media, whether due to new regulations or otherwise, may significantly lower our subscription retention rate. We also offer our customers the option to rent or buy items via our Reserve offering and Resale offering, respectively. Our Subscription plans and offerings do not have demonstrably long track records of success and may not grow as much or as fast as we expect. For example, our active subscriber count decreased year over year in fiscal year 2024 and, although we are focused on growth initiatives, may continue to decline in the future. In addition, our number of active subscribers may be higher or lower than the number of our actual individual subscribers, because some active subscribers may have multiple accounts (such as for professional and personal purposes), or some may share their plans with other individuals. Although we presently anticipate an increase in our year-over-year revenue growth rate in fiscal year 2025, if our growth and/or growth rates do not meet expectations, the perception of our business, financial condition and results of operations by investors and our third-party service providers and brand partners may be adversely affected.

We utilize promotional pricing to attract customers and subscribers who may have heightened price sensitivity and who may not be willing to pay full price for our offering when the promotion period expires. Our promotional strategy changes regularly and is subject to experimentation. For example, as part of our recent customer engagement campaign in the first quarter of 2025, we have provided a free membership month to certain high-value lapsed subscribers, who may or may not continue their subscription when their free month expires. We expect that we will continue to adjust our promotional policies in response to our business objectives and market conditions. Our business performance may be adversely impacted if our promotional strategy is not effective at attracting and retaining customers.

If existing customers no longer find our offerings and products appealing, appropriately priced or easy to use, or if we are unable to provide high-quality support to customers to help them resolve issues in a timely and acceptable manner, they may stop using our offerings, we may experience negative publicity and word-of-mouth and other referrals may be hampered. If our customers no longer perceive our subscription plans as appropriately priced and cancel or pause their subscriptions, our business and financial results could be harmed. We are focused on investing in our customer’s experience and delivering even more value to her, including by focusing on approximately doubling our rental product selection in fiscal year 2025 and emphasizing the value proposition of our offering in our marketing materials, among other initiatives; however these or other initiatives to retain customers may not be successful at improving customer satisfaction, subscriber retention and/or revenues and may require additional costs or lead to unanticipated consequences. Even if our existing customers continue to find our offerings and products appealing and our customer service satisfactory, they may decide to downgrade to a less frequent, lower cost subscription and/or rent fewer items due to price sensitivity and/or changing demand or other reasons. If customers downgrade their subscriptions or make fewer or lower priced rentals, our financial results could be negatively affected.

We have been focused on expanding our relationships with brand partners and continuing to develop our Exclusive Designs and Share by RTR arrangements, which are our more capital-efficient ways of acquiring rental product. For our Exclusive Designs, RTR traditionally has sourced the materials and relied upon third-party manufacturing partners to produce products; however, we have updated our Exclusive Designs model and, for fiscal year 2025, certain brands now source and manufacture the products themselves, which are exclusively available on our site for a period of time. This new Exclusive Designs approach is similar to the approach for Wholesale and Share by RTR items, for which we enter into contracts in advance of a particular season and brand partners frequently agree to incur costs related to sourcing and manufacturing products before we have paid for them, which requires the brand partners to continue to trust us. If we were viewed as less financially viable by our brand partners and/or their financing partners or factoring companies, we may receive less favorable terms and conditions from our brand partners, including requiring more upfront payments or other demonstrations of credit. The cash flow benefits we currently experience from our brand partners’ willingness to revenue share could be adversely affected if revenue share terms change or if brand partners no longer wish to revenue share due to lack of trust in us, lack of revenue earned in comparison to the projections we provided, or their inability to continue to spread their earnings out over the time period that the products are earning revenue on our website, among other reasons. For our Exclusive Design arrangements, we must continue to increase the number of brand partners with whom we work, design an assortment of styles that meet customer demand, maintain and enhance our third-party manufacturing capabilities and partner relationships and ensure the products manufactured meets brand partners’, customers’ and our quality standards. Our ability to obtain a sufficient selection or volume of products on a timely basis at competitive prices could suffer as a result of any deterioration or change in our partner relationships or events that adversely affect them and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our industry is characterized by rapidly changing technology, new service and product introductions, and changing customer demands and preferences, and we are not able to predict the effect of these changes on our business. In addition, we believe that our future success depends, in part, on our ability to anticipate and respond effectively to new technology disruption and developments and keep pace more generally with technological changes and trends. These may include new software applications or related services based on artificial intelligence (such as our AI search tool), augmented reality, machine learning, or robotics or more generally evolving trends in e-commerce. For example, we continue to focus on improving the performance of our website and mobile application for our customers, including increasing reliability; however, our efforts may be unsuccessful. The technologies that we currently use to support our business platform are highly interconnected and complex (as discussed elsewhere in these risk factors) and may become inadequate or obsolete, and the cost of incorporating new technologies into our offerings and services may be substantial. In addition, any failure by us to adequately integrate technological developments in our approach to data management could harm our ability to leverage data, including customer data, collected through our technology and our systems, which could have a negative effect on our business. If we are unable to adequately utilize our data in support of our operations due technical or other limitations, our ability to drive leverage in operational efficiencies and to attract new customers and retain existing customers could be impaired. In addition, if we are unable to successfully leverage new technology to automate and otherwise enhance and drive efficiencies in our operations, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

Additionally, as we invest in and experiment with new offerings or changes to our platform, our partners and customers may find these changes to be disruptive and may perceive them negatively. For example, in March 2023, we changed our subscription programs to provide customers with one additional item per shipment at no extra charge, which is intended to provide more value to our customers and increase retention. In fiscal year 2025, we plan to approximately double our rental product added on our site. These new offerings and updates do not have demonstrably long track records of success for us and could result in higher fulfillment costs and lower gross margins, higher product spend, and/or other unforeseen impacts on the business. In addition, developing new offerings and services is complex, and the timetable for their public launch is difficult to predict and may vary from our expectations. As a result, the introduction of new offerings may occur after anticipated release dates, or they may be introduced as pilot programs, which may not be continued for various reasons. In addition, new offerings may not be successful due to defects or errors, negative publicity, or our failure to market them effectively. New offerings may not drive revenue growth, customer acquisition or retention, may require substantial investment and planning, and may bring us more directly into competition with companies that are better established or have greater resources than we do. If we do not continue to cost-effectively develop new offerings that satisfy our brand partners and customers, then our competitive position and growth prospects may be harmed. In addition, changes to subscription plans or new offerings may have lower margins than we anticipate or than existing offerings, and our revenue from new offerings may not be enough to offset the cost of developing and maintaining them, which could adversely affect our business, financial performance, and growth. Finally, the success of our technology and product initiatives overall depends upon our engineering and product teams and leadership, which have experienced recent transition and may continue to experience transition in the future. If our team building efforts or engineering and product strategies and plans are not successful or are not executed successfully, our growth may decline and we may not achieve our profitability goals.

Our brand and manufacturing partners may increase their pricing if raw materials, labor, or other costs become more expensive or subject to other pricing pressures. The inputs used to manufacture products are subject to availability constraints and price volatility. In addition, our brand partners may pass the increase in sourcing costs to us through price increases, thereby impacting our margins. For example, if manufacturers increase their costs, our Exclusive Designs may not be as cost-effective for us or our brand partners to produce, which could negatively impact our ability to meet our financial goals. The fabrics used in our products are made of raw materials including petroleum-based products and cotton. Significant price fluctuations or shortages in petroleum, cotton, or other raw materials could significantly increase our cost of revenue and the cost associated with procuring products via Exclusive Designs. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the price or supply of the fabrics or raw materials used in the manufacture of the products we offer, such as due to changes in global trade policies, tariffs and other measures that could restrict international trade or due to restrictions on Xinjiang cotton, we and/or our partners might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to global trade policies, tariffs and treatises. The United States has imposed significant new tariffs on China related to the importation of certain product categories, and other countries may change their business and trade policies in anticipation of or in response to the United States’s increased import tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policies already enacted or that may be enacted in the future. Disruptions in the supply chain due to a variety of macroeconomic factors and the recent inflationary environment have increased raw material costs, impacted pricing of our products, and caused shipping delays. In addition to the general uncertainty and overall risk from changes in global trade policies, tariffs, treatises and supply chains, as we make business decisions in the face of such uncertainty, we may incorrectly anticipate the outcomes, miss out on business opportunities, or fail to effectively adapt our business strategies and manage the adjustments that are necessary in response to such changes. Any of these developments, or the perception regarding such developments, could increase the costs associated with procuring our rental products, negatively impact our brand partners’ business operations which could in turn negatively impact us, reduce the supply of materials used in the design and manufacture of our rental products; and negatively impact customer demand for our products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,…

Our ability to make interest and principal payments and to fund our planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash flows. Our ability to generate cash flows is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, such as an environment of rising or continuously high interest rates. To the extent we are impacted by macroeconomic trends, or other factors, including, but not limited to, lower demand for our business, increased rental product spend or tariffs, we plan to reduce fixed and variable costs accordingly and has established plans to preserve existing cash liquidity, which includes additional reductions to labor, operating expenses, and/or capital expenditures. However, these actions will not provide sufficient incremental liquidity to fund our debt service obligations when they become current. If our cash flows, capital resources and any measures to reduce fixed and variable costs are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance our current or future debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. We cannot provide assurance that our business will be able to generate sufficient levels of cash or that future borrowings or other financings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness and fund our other liquidity needs. If we need to generate additional levels of cash to service our indebtedness or meet our covenant obligations, we may need to undertake additional cost-cutting measures. These financing risks, in addition to potential rising interest rates and changes in market conditions, if realized, could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The lawsuit seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs and such other relief as deemed just and proper by the court. See Note 14, “Commitments and Contingencies”in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more details about the class action and other matters.
