Current report
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we completed the acquisition of The Brand House Collective, Inc. (“TBHC”). In connection with the preliminary purchase price allocation, we recognized deferred tax liabilities primarily related to differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts and the tax bases of acquired assets.
Current report
The deferred tax liabilities recognized in the acquisition provided a source of future taxable income that management considered in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. Based on this additional positive evidence, we released a portion of our valuation allowance during the second quarter of 2026. The release was recorded as a discrete income tax benefit in the period of the acquisition and reduced income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, by approximately $3.1 million.
Current report
On June 29, 2026 and in connection with the acquisition of TCS, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement with TCS in the amount of $7.5 million. The promissory note bears interest at 8.0% per annum and matures on July 31, 2026. The Company entered into the financing arrangement to provide additional short-term liquidity and support working capital needs. The note was repaid in full prior to its contractual maturity date.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, financing activities resulted in a net cash inflow of $13.6 million, primarily due to $25.9 million from borrowings of revolving line of credits, $7.5 million proceeds from short-term debt, and $0.4 million purchases from ESPP, which was offset by $18.1 million repayments on revolving line of credits, purchase of treasury stock.
Current report
During the period we completed the acquisitions of TBHC and SFV Services, we allocated the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Our valuation procedures include consultation with an independent adviser, as appropriate. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to inventories, fixed assets and operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Critical estimates in valuing certain assets include but are not limited to projected future cash flows, comparable assets, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates and changes could be significant. We expect to finalize these amounts during the one-year measurement period starting from the date of each acquisition.
Current report
Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as more fully discussed in Note 3—Business Combinations of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Current report
As of June 30, 2026, there were no significant changes in the application of our critical accounting policies or estimation procedures from those presented in Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Previous report
Pursuant to the terms of the TCS Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be delivered at closing is expected to be approximately $150 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to certain adjustments and structural considerations as set forth in the TCS Merger Agreement. The consideration will consist of a combination of (i) senior convertible notes of the Company with an aggregate principal amount of at least $54.0 million, subject to adjustment, and (ii) shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, including an equity issuance cap. To the extent such equity issuance cap is exceeded, additional consideration will be delivered in the form of senior convertible notes. The Merger Consideration (as defined in the TCS Merger Agreement) may be paid to TCS equityholders or, under certain circumstances, to TCS lenders in satisfaction of outstanding indebtedness.
Previous report
The completion of the TCS Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) the absence of legal restraints, (ii) receipt of required lender approvals or the completion of an alternative restructuring transaction, (iii) the receipt of specified financing, (iv) the delivery of audited financial statements of TCS, and (v) the accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants by the parties.
Previous report
In connection with the TCS Merger Agreement, we also entered into related agreements, including a transaction support agreement with certain equityholders and lenders of TCS, a put agreement with certain lenders, and commitments to provide up to $30.0 million of incremental financing to TCS prior to closing, subject to specified conditions.
Previous report

Previous report
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $247.8 million, compared to $231.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of $16.0 million, or 6.9%. The increase was primarily due to a 5.8% or $11.15 increase in average order value, which resulted in a revenue increase of approximately $13.4 million, and a 1.1% increase in the number of orders delivered, which resulted in a revenue increase of approximately $2.6 million. The increase in average order value was largely driven by orders mixing into categories with higher average unit retail price. The increase in orders delivered was driven by higher website visits influenced by improved marketing efficiency.

This represents an increase of $1.1 million, or 1.8%. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to higher revenue, which increased gross profit by approximately $3.9 million, partially offset by a decreased gross margin that contributed $2.9 million of the gross profit decline.

Our revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery to our customers. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates, which can be further impacted by uncertainty, volatility, and any disruption to our carriers caused by certain macroeconomic conditions, such as supply chain challenges, trade barriers including tariffs, inflation, rising interest rates, climate and weather events, or geopolitical events.
