Net revenue was $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease of $0.2 million, or 1%, was mainly due to a decrease in GMV which was mainly due to a decrease in orders for the three months ended March 31, 2026. While the impacts are difficult to isolate and quantify, we believe our GMV, number of orders, and net revenue have continued to be impacted negatively, both directly and indirectly, by macroeconomic factors, including significant housing market volatility, significant capital market volatility, and global economic and geopolitical developments. We believe we have, and continue to work to position the business to benefit from an improvement in macroeconomic factors.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $85.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $348.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026. We expect operating losses to continue in the foreseeable future as we continue to strategically invest in growth activities. Our cash flows, including net cash used in or provided by operating activities, may vary from quarter to quarter, due to the timing of payments to sellers, vendor contracts and prepayments, annual bonuses, marketing related expenses, and other factors. Our principal use of cash is to fund our operations including platform development to support our strategic initiatives and anticipated share repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program. As we continue to enhance our processes and enter into a new agreement with our payment processors, in 2026 we expect to have certain funds classified as payment processor receivables and seller accounts, an other current asset on our consolidated balance sheet. This change is expected to lower our cash and cash equivalents balance by approximately $6 million to $10 million and increase our other current assets by the same approximate amounts. This change will have no impact on total current assets or total assets.

Current wording

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $67.7 million and an accumulated deficit of $349.2 million.

Our principal use of cash is to fund our operations including platform development to support our strategic initiatives. As of June 30, 2026, a change to our payment processor agreement resulted in a reclassification of approximately $5.9 million from cash and cash equivalents to receivables from payment processors and seller accounts, which is recorded in other current assets. These amounts represent amounts received or expected to be received from buyers through third-party payment processors which flow through a bank account for payment to sellers in connection with marketplace transactions. Additionally, our free cash for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was negatively impacted by the reclassification of $5.9 million.

Our marketplace transaction fees represent the majority of our net revenue and accounted for 74% of our net revenue for both of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Subscription fees accounted for 20% and 22% of our net revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Net revenue was $45.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to $44.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $1.0 million, or 2%, was primarily driven by an increase in GMV which was mainly due to an increase in average order value partially offset by a decrease in orders. While GMV and net revenue increased, we believe our GMV, number of orders, and net revenue have continued to be impacted negatively, both directly and indirectly, by macroeconomic factors, including significant housing market volatility and global economic and geopolitical developments. While this is our belief, the impacts are difficult to isolate and quantify. We believe we have, and continue to work to position the business to benefit from an improvement in macroeconomic factors.
