Forward-Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including statements regarding our investment plans and anticipated returns on those investments, our future customer growth, our future results of operations and financial position, including our exit from the German market, available liquidity and access to financing sources, our business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, including our international growth and omni-channel strategy, consumer activity and behaviors, developments in our technology and systems and anticipated results of those developments, and the impact of macroeconomic events, including interest rates and inflation, and our response to such events, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “aim,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “could,” “intends,” “goals,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts” or “potential” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate, although we believe that we have been reasonable in our expectations and assumptions. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or that known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from Wayfair’s expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future results include, without limitation, the following:
adverse macroeconomic conditions, including economic instability, changes in tax laws, regulations and new or increased tariffs, including based on the recent U.S. presidential election, export controls, sustained higher interest rates, inflation, slower growth or the potential for recession, disruptions in the global supply chain and other conditions affecting the retail environment for products we sell, and other matters that influence consumer spending and preferences, as well as our ability to plan for and respond to the impact of these conditions;
our ability to manage the impacts of our restructurings and workforce reductions, including our exit from the German market;
our ability to acquire and retain customers in a cost-effective manner;
our ability to increase our net revenue per active customer;
our ability to build and maintain strong brands;
our ability to manage our growth initiatives;
our ability to expand our business and compete successfully;
disruptions, capacity constraints or inefficiencies in our information systems network, or any potential cybersecurity incident;
geopolitical events, natural disasters, public health emergencies, civil disturbances and terrorist attacks; and
developments in, and the outcome of, legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations to which we are a party or are subject, and the liabilities, obligations and expenses, if any, that we may incur in connection therewith.
A further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future results include the cautionary statements in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
