In the past, we have experienced increases in inbound freight costs due to the challenges in the import market, as transpacific ships and trade lanes were overburdened with volume and experienced a significant shortage of equipment and capacity due to macroeconomic challenges affecting the global supply chain, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and wars, armed conflicts and rising geopolitical tensions, and natural disasters and severe weather events. Increases in freight costs and supply chain disruptions that would impact our business could be created or driven by market factors or international events, such as a global pandemic or other disruptions or disasters, severe weather events, inflation, war in the Middle East and the Ukraine and rising tensions between the U.S. and China.

Kibble—We sell a variety of kibble, priced to compete with the mass premium category. While our kibble can be purchased on an individual basis, we entered this market with a breed-based approach that recommends meal plans consisting of a mix of kibble, toppers, and supplements based on the characteristics and personalities of various dog breeds. For example, because German Shepherds are prone to hip issues, we recommend hip and joint support supplements with the purchase of their kibble. If that dog is also a picky eater, we will recommend adding one of our toppers. This enhances our average order value and margin profile.

(1)Sales and use tax expense relates to recording a liability for sales and use tax we did not collect from our customers. Historically, we had collected state or local sales, use, or other similar taxes in certain jurisdictions in which we only had physical presence. On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., that state and local jurisdictions may, at least in certain circumstances, enforce a sales and use tax collection obligation on remote vendors that have no physical presence in such jurisdiction. A number of states have positioned themselves to require sales and use tax collection by remote vendors and/or by online marketplaces. The details and effective dates of these collection requirements vary from state to state and accordingly, we recorded a liability in those periods in which we created economic nexus based on each state’s requirements. Accordingly, we now collect, remit, and report sales tax in all states that impose a sales tax. Subsequently, as certain of these liabilities are waived by tax authorities or the applicable statute of limitations expires, the related accrued liability is reversed.
