__________________________
1 U.S. Total revenue, U.S. Gross profit, U.S. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA loss, Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, U.S. Adjusted EBITDA and U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this earnings release and "Reconciliation of U.S. Financial Information to Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations" in the Supplemental Financial Information for a detailed reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful.
Recent Business Highlights
- Europe Divestiture: On October 31, 2024, ThredUp signed a non-binding term sheet for a management buyout of Remix by Florin Filote (Remix’s current General Manager) and the Remix management team. Both parties are working toward the closing of this transaction by the end of 2024.
- AI Update: ThredUp launched its suite of AI tools in August. Since its launch last quarter, more than 60% of searches lead to item exploration, and the diversity of search terms have more than doubled. Additionally, TIME Magazine recognized the tech in its 2024 Best Inventions list.
- Shaping Legislation: ThredUp launched the Sales and Use Tax petition in partnership with the circular coalition group American Circular Textiles (ACT) and its members. Through its public policy efforts, ThredUp also helped shape a California-statewide bill (SB707) aiming to minimize landfill disposal and environmental impacts, which was signed and approved in September 2024.
Financial Outlook
For the fourth quarter 2024, ThredUp expects:
- Total revenue in the range of $67.2 million to $69.2 million.
- U.S. Total revenue in the range of $58.0 million to $60.0 million.
- Gross margin in the range of 72.3% to 73.3%.
- U.S. Gross margin in the range of 78.5% to 79.5%.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss margin in the range of (4.7)% to (2.7)%.
- U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 0.0% to 2.0%.
For the full fiscal year 2024, ThredUp expects:
- Total revenue in the range $300 million to $302 million.
- U.S. Total revenue in the range of $250.8 million to $252.8 million.
- Gross margin in the range of 70.8% to 71.0%.
- U.S. Gross margin in the range of 79.2% to 79.4%.
- Adjusted EBITDA loss margin in the range of (2.6)% to (2.2)%.
- U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 1.6% to 2.1%.
ThredUp is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of the Non-GAAP measures above, including Adjusted EBITDA margin, U.S. Total Revenue, U.S. Gross Margin and U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin to their most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP because certain items are out of ThredUp’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Historically, these items have included, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, impairment of long-lived assets, depreciation and amortization, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, and provision (benefit) for income taxes. Accordingly, a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA loss in order to calculate forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA loss margin is not available without unreasonable effort. However, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and full year 2024, Depreciation and amortization is expected to be $4.6 million and $19.1 million, respectively, and U.S. Depreciation and amortization is expected to be $3.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively. In addition, for the fourth quarter of 2024 and full year 2024, Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be $6.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively, and U.S. Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be $6.0 million and $25.8 million, respectively. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could result in projected net loss being materially less than is indicated by the currently estimated Adjusted EBITDA loss margin. In addition, due to the inherent uncertainty of the proposed divestiture of the Remix business, it is not possible without unreasonable efforts to provide a reconciliation for forward-looking U.S. Revenue, U.S. Gross Margin and U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics
This press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including: Adjusted EBITDA loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, free cash flow, U.S. Total revenue, U.S. Gross margin, U.S. Adjusted EBITDA, U.S. Adjusted EBITDA margin and other operating and business metrics. We have included the financial measures for our U.S. business above because we believe they may be helpful to investors to understand our U.S. business in light of the proposed divestiture of the Remix business. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics, are useful in evaluating our operating performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our financial position. We use these measures and metrics to evaluate and assess our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. Our non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics used by other companies.
We encourage investors to review our results determined in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations for more information.
A reconciliation is provided above for Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA loss as net loss adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets, impairment of long-lived assets, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, and provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss divided by Total revenue for the same period.
A reconciliation is provided above for free cash flow to cash flows from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate free cash flow as Net cash used in operating activities adjusted to exclude Purchases of property and equipment.
An Active Buyer is a ThredUp buyer who has made at least one purchase in the last twelve months. A ThredUp buyer is a customer who has created an account and purchased in our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, and is identified by a unique email address. A single person could have multiple ThredUp accounts and count as multiple Active Buyers.
Orders are defined as the total number of orders placed by buyers across our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, in a given period, net of cancellations.
