- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are those of Wayfair Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, “Wayfair,” “the Company" or similar terms refer to Wayfair Inc. and its subsidiaries. In the Company’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Wayfair’s marketable securities, which primarily consisted of corporate bonds and other government obligations that are priced at fair value, were classified as available-for-sale investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair didnot have any realized gains or losses. Interest income includes interest earned from cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair recorded$10 million and $12 million of interest income, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements
Wayfair's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full-term of the asset or liability
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability
This hierarchy requires Wayfair to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Wayfair classifies cash equivalents and certificate of deposits within Level 1 because these are valued using quoted market prices. The fair value of Level 1 financial assets is based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. Wayfair classifies short-term investments within Level 2 because unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets are not active. Wayfair does not have assets that are classified as Level 3.
The following tables set forth the fair value of Wayfair's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |

Wayfair’s indebtedness includes unsecured 0.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), unsecured 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), unsecured 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), unsecured 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”),7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”) and 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Secured Notes”, together with the 2029 Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes” and together with the Convertible Notes, the “Notes”).
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 13, 2025, Wayfair and certain of its subsidiaries (together, the “Guarantors”) and Wayfair LLC, a subsidiary of Wayfair, as borrower (the “Borrower”), entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) among Wayfair, the Borrower, the lenders and letter of credit issuers parties thereto and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative agent, collateral agent and a letter of credit issuer. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates and replaces that certain credit agreement, dated as of March 24, 2021 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time prior to entry into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), by and among the Borrower, Wayfair, each other credit party from time to time party thereto, each lender from time to time party thereto, Citibank N.A. as the administrative agent for the lenders and letter of credit issuer, and each other letter of credit issuer from time to time party thereto.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a maturity of March 13, 2030, subject to a springing earlier maturity in certain circumstances. Debt issuance costs for the Revolver are included in other non-current assets and are amortized to interest expense over the Revolver’s term. As of March 31, 2025, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver.
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, from time to time, request letters of credit, which reduce the availability of credit under the Revolver. Wayfair had $71 million outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2025, primarily as security for lease agreements, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity.
The proceeds of the Revolver may be used to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide funds for permitted acquisitions, repurchases of equity interests and other general corporate purposes. The Borrower’s obligations under the Revolver are guaranteed by the Guarantors. The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, with certain exceptions, all of the capital stock of Wayfair’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of Wayfair’s first-tier foreign subsidiaries.
The Revolver borrowings bear interest through maturity at a variable rate based upon, at the Borrower’s option, (i) with respect to loans denominated in U.S. dollars, either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) rate or (y) the base rate (which is the highest of (x) the prime rate, (y) one-half of 1.00% in excess of the federal funds effective rate and (z)1.00% in excess of the one-month Adjusted Term SOFR rate), (ii) with respect to loans denominated in an alternative currency (other than Pounds Sterling), the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or (iii) with respect to loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the RFR (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) rate, plus, in each case, an applicable margin.
As of March 31, 2025, the applicable margin for Adjusted Term SOFR and Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate loans is 1.25% per annum, the applicable margin for base rate loans is 0.25% per annum and the applicable margin for RFR loans is 1.2826% per annum. The applicable margin is subject to specified changes depending on Wayfair’s Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured revolving credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on our assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of our businesses. The Revolver also contains customary events of default, subject to thresholds and grace periods, including, among others, payment default, covenant default, cross default to other material indebtedness and judgment default. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires Wayfair to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of 4.00 to 1.00, subject to a 0.50 step up following certain permitted acquisitions. Wayfair does not expect any of these restrictions to affect or limit the ability to conduct business in the ordinary course. As of March 31, 2025, Wayfair was in compliance with all covenants.
Senior Secured Notes
On March 13, 2025, Wayfair LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of Wayfair, issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes are governed by an indenture between the Issuer, the guarantors named therein (including Wayfair) and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The indenture provides, among other things, that the 2030 Secured Notes will be senior secured obligations of the Issuer. Interest on the 2030 Secured Notes is payable semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2025, at a rate of 7.750% per annum. The annual effective interest rate of the 2030 Secured Notes is 7.90%. Transaction costs to issue the 2030 Secured Notes were recorded as direct deductions from the related debt liabilities and amortized to interest expense, net using the effective interest method over the terms of the corresponding 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes will mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms or repurchased.
The following table summarizes certain terms related to the Company’s current outstanding Senior Secured Notes:
| Senior Secured Notes | Maturity Date | Annual Coupon Rate | Annual Effective Interest Rate | Payment Dates for Semi-Annual Interest Payments in Arrears |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2029 Secured Notes | October 31, 2029 | 7.250% | 7.50% | April 15 and October 15 |
| 2030 Secured Notes | September 15, 2030 | 7.750% | 7.90% | March 15 and September 15 |
Convertible Notes
The following table summarizes certain terms related to the Company’s current outstanding Convertible Notes:
| Convertible Notes | Maturity Date | Annual Coupon Rate | Annual Effective Interest Rate | Payment Dates for Semi-Annual Interest Payments in Arrears |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Notes | October 1, 2025 | 0.625% | 0.9% | April 1 and October 1 |
| 2026 Notes | August 15, 2026 | 1.000% | 1.2% | February 15 and August 15 |

| 2028 Notes | November 15, 2028 | 3.500% | 3.8% | May 15 and November 15 |
Conversion and Redemption Terms of the Notes
Wayfair's Convertible Notes will mature at their maturity date unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The Convertible Notes’ initial conversion terms are summarized below:
| Convertible Notes | Maturity Date | Free Convertibility Date | Initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 Principal | Initial Conversion Price | Redemption Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Notes | October 1, 2025 | July 1, 2025 | 2.3972 | $417.15 | October 4, 2022 |
| 2026 Notes | August 15, 2026 | May 15, 2026 | 6.7349 | $148.48 | August 20, 2023 |
| 2027 Notes | September 15, 2027 | June 15, 2027 | 15.7597 | $63.45 | September 20, 2025 |
| 2028 Notes | November 15, 2028 | August 15, 2028 | 21.8341 | $45.80 | May 20, 2026 |
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest.
Wayfair will settle any conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at Wayfair’s election. The holders of the Convertible Notes may convert all or a portion of such Notes prior to certain specified dates (each, a “Free Convertibility Date”) under the following circumstances (in each case, as applicable to each series of Convertible Notes):
during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
during thefive-business day period after anyten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period") in which the trading price (as defined in the applicable indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
if Wayfair calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) (“the close of business”) on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the applicable indenture).
On or after the applicable Free Convertibility Date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time.
The conditional conversion features of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2025, therefore, the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2025 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price conditions.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture), holders of the applicable series of the Convertible Notes may require Wayfair to repurchase all or a portion of such Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. Holders of the Convertible Notes who convert their respective Notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a notice of redemption (each as defined in the applicable indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the respective Notes.
Wayfair may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to certain dates (the “Redemption Date”). On or after the applicable Redemption Date, Wayfair may redeem for cash all or part of the applicable series of the Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be either 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the if-converted value if the holder elects to convert their Convertible Notes upon receiving notice of redemption.
Partial Extinguishment of Convertible Notes
On March 14, 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2030 Secured Notes, Wayfair repurchased $578 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. In accounting for the repurchases, Wayfair recorded a $25 million gain on debt extinguishment, representing the difference between the cash paid for principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest and transaction fees of $551 million and the net carrying value of the 2026 Notes of $576 million.
Conversions of Convertible Notes
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no conversions of the Convertible Notes.
Interest Expense
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $32 million and $3 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $15 million and $3 million, respectively.
Fair Value of the Notes
As of March 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2029 Secured Notes and 2030 Secured Notes was $231 million, $147 million, $678 million, $737 million, $768 million and $677 million, respectively. The estimated fair values of the Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The fair values of the Notes are classified as Level 2 as defined in Note 3, Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash, Investments and Fair Value Measurements. As of March 31, 2025, the if-converted value of the 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes didnot exceed the principal value.
Capped Calls
The 2025 Capped Calls, 2026 Capped Calls, 2027 Capped Calls and 2028 Capped Calls (collectively, the “Capped Calls”) are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion of the Convertible Notes if the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the applicable Capped Call (which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the applicable Convertible Notes and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the applicable Capped Call), with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the applicable Capped Calls (the “Initial Cap Price”). The Capped Calls can, at Wayfair’s option, remain outstanding until their maturity date, even if all or a portion of the Convertible Notes are converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to such date.
Each of the Capped Calls has an initial cap price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, which represented a premium over the last reported sale price (or, with respect to the 2025 Capped Calls, the volume-weighted average price) of Wayfair’s Class A common stock on the date the corresponding Convertible Notes were priced (the “Cap Price Premium”), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the corresponding agreements. Collectively, the Capped Calls cover, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the Convertible Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes.
The initial terms for the Capped Calls are presented below:
| Capped Calls | Maturity Date | Initial Cap Price | Cap Price Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Capped Calls | October 1, 2025 | $787.08 | 150% |
| 2026 Capped Calls | August 15, 2026 | $280.15 | 150% |
| 2027 Capped Calls | September 15, 2027 | $97.62 | 100% |
| 2028 Capped Calls | November 15, 2028 | $73.28 | 100% |
The Capped Calls are separate transactions from the Convertible Notes, are not subject to the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Convertible Notes. Similarly, holders of the Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to Wayfair's stock and meet the requirements to be classified in equity. The premiums paid for the Capped Calls were included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ deficit when they were entered.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, Wayfair is involved in litigation matters and other legal claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability of having incurred a liability and the estimated amount of the liability. The Company does not record a gain contingency until the period in which the contingency is resolved and the gain is realizable or realized.
Litigation and legal claims are inherently unpredictable and claims cannot be predicted with certainty. An unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition, and regardless of the outcome, these matters can be costly and time consuming, as it can divert management's attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting Wayfair's overall operations. In addition, Wayfair may also find itself at greater risk to outside party claims as it increases its operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable, or unclear. However, Wayfair does not currently believe that the outcome of any legal matters will have a material adverse effect on Wayfair’s results of operations or financial condition.

The Canada Border Services Agency (“CBSA”) is examining Wayfair’s payment of duties under the Special Import Measures Act (the “CBSA review”) for goods imported into Canada for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and part of the year ended December 31, 2021. Periodically, Wayfair receives assessments from the CBSA and Wayfair is required to pay all assessed amounts in order to exercise its appeal rights. Wayfair believes there are substantial factual and legal grounds to appeal and partially recuperate these amounts and is exploring other options to mitigate exposure. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Wayfair incurred approximately $5 million to cost of goods sold within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and made payments of approximately $5 million of duties based on assessments received during the current period, related to the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and part of the year ended December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $4 million was recorded within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The CBSA is also examining Wayfair’s valuation of duties under the Customs Act for goods imported into Canada for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The examination for part of the year ended December 31, 2024 and the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 resulted in a benefit of $38 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025 to cost of goods sold within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. This was related to an overpayment of duties during those years, and the refunds from this audit will primarily be used to offset future normal course custom duties payments and payments due under the CBSA review.
Because loss contingencies are inherently unpredictable, this assessment is subjective and requires judgments about future events. As a result, it is at least reasonably possible that this estimate may change in the near term and the effect of the potential change could be material.
- Stockholders’ Deficit
Common Stock
Since Wayfair's initial public offering through March 31, 2025,57,380,119 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock.
Stock Repurchase Programs
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Wayfair didnot repurchase any shares of Class A Common stock under the authorized repurchase programs.
- Equity-Based Compensation
In April 2023, Wayfair’s stockholders approved the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “2023 Plan”) to replace Wayfair’s 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2014 Plan” and, together with the 2023 Plan, the “Incentive Plans”). The Incentive Plans were adopted by the board of directors (the “Board”) to grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible participants in order to attract, motivate and retain talent. The Incentive Plans are administered by the Board for awards to non-employee directors and by the compensation committee of the Board for other participants and provide for the issuance of equity-based awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards and stock payments.
As of March 31, 2025,8,856,478 shares of Class A common stock remained available for future grant under the 2023 Plan.
The following table presents activity relating to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Shares | Weighted-AverageGrant DateFair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Unvested at December 31, 2024 | 2,455,486 | $72.11 |

| RSUs forfeited/canceled | (130,838) | $79.38 |
| Unvested at March 31, 2025 | 2,339,376 | $51.90 |
As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to RSUs expected to vest over time is $57 million with a weighted-average remaining vesting term of 0.2 years.
The following table summarizes activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

Equity-based compensation costs capitalized as software costs were$6 million and$11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- Loss per Share
Wayfair follows the two-class method when computing earnings or loss per share for itstwo issued classes of common stock - Class A and Class B. Basic earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus, if dilutive, common stock equivalents outstanding during the period and stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible debt instruments. Wayfair's common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the release of restricted stock units. The dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents is reflected in diluted earnings or loss per share by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible debt instruments are included in the calculation of diluted earnings or loss per share under the if-converted method.
For periods in which Wayfair has reported net losses, diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effects of common stock equivalents outstanding and shares issuable upon conversion of convertible debt instruments are antidilutive and therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.
Wayfair allocates undistributed earnings between the classes on a one-to-one basis when computing earnings or loss per share. As a result, basic and diluted earnings or loss per share per Class A and Class B shares are equivalent.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in millions, except per share data) | ||
| Numerator: | ||
| Numerator for basic and diluted loss per share - net loss | $(113) | $(248) |
| Denominator: | ||
| Denominator for basic and diluted loss per share - weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding | 127 | 120 |
| Loss per share | ||
| Basic | $(0.89) | $(2.06) |
| Diluted | $(0.89) | $(2.06) |
The potential common shares from anti-dilutive securities excluded from the weighted-average shares of common stock used to calculate diluted loss per share were as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (in millions) | ||
| Unvested restricted stock units | 2 | 4 |
| Shares related to convertible debt instruments | 28 | 36 |
| Total | 30 | 40 |
Wayfair may settle conversions of the Convertible Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or any combination thereof at its election. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of Wayfair's Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of the Convertible Notes to the extent the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Calls (which corresponds to the initial conversion prices of the Convertible Notes, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls), with such reduction and/or offset capped at the Initial Cap Price.
For more information on the structure of the Notes and the Capped Calls, see Note 4, Debt and Other Financing.
- Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Wayfair’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer.
Wayfair's operating and reportable segments are the U.S. and International. These segments reflect the way the CODM allocates resources and evaluates financial performance, which is based upon each segment's Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, provision or benefit for income taxes, non-recurring items and other items not indicative of ongoing operating performance. These charges are excluded from the evaluation of segment performance because it facilitates reportable segment performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess segment performance while deciding how to allocate resources as a benchmark to evaluate operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of Wayfair’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Wayfair allocates certain operating expenses to the operating and reportable segments, including customer service and merchant fees and selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses based on the usage and relative contribution provided to the segments. It excludes from the allocations certain operating expense lines, including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, impairment and other related net charges and restructuring charges, as well as interest income or expense, net, other income or expense, net, gain or loss on debt extinguishment and provision or benefit for income taxes. There are no net revenue transactions between Wayfair's reportable segments.
U.S.
The U.S. segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's family of sites in the U.S.
International
The International segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's international sites.
Net revenue from external customers for each group of similar products and services are not reported to the CODM. Separate identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is impractical, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would be excessive. No individual country outside the U.S. provided greater than 10% of consolidated net revenue.
The following tables present net revenue, significant segment expenses and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Wayfair’s reportable segments for the periods presented:
