Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Second quarter consolidated net sales declined 10.5% year-over-year to $196.6 million, with comparable store sales down 12.5% due to softness in general merchandise (down 18.7%) and a modest 1.5% decline in Custom Spaces.
Net loss for Q2 was $16.1 million ($4.85 per share), improved from $23.7 million ($7.17 per share) last year; adjusted net loss per share was $3.23 versus adjusted income per share of $0.11 last year.
Strategic partnership and $40 million preferred equity investment agreement with Beyond, Inc. announced, contingent on refinancing or amending credit facilities.
1-for-15 reverse stock split completed in September 2024, restoring NYSE compliance.
No financial guidance provided for the remainder of the year due to pending transaction with Beyond, Inc.
Financial highlights
Q2 2024 net sales: $196.6M (down from $219.7M in Q2 2023); gross margin declined 210 basis points to 55.5% due to increased promotions and unfavorable mix.
Adjusted EBITDA was $3.9 million, down from $17.0 million a year ago.
SG&A expenses decreased by $4.1 million but rose as a percentage of sales to 53.5% due to deleverage and higher marketing spend.
Free cash flow for the first half was negative $10.6 million, compared to negative $1.3 million in the prior year.
Cash at quarter end was $66.1 million, with total debt of $232 million and $96.5 million in total liquidity.
Outlook and guidance
Persistently challenging retail environment and reduced consumer spending continue to impact performance.
Substantial doubt exists regarding the company's ability to continue as a going concern without additional liquidity or credit facility modifications.
The company is actively working to amend or refinance credit facilities and close the Beyond equity investment.
Q3 started off challenging due to tough comparisons with last year’s successful Elfa Anniversary Sale, but sequential improvement in general merchandise continues.
Strategic priorities include growing Custom Spaces, stabilizing general merchandise, and increasing brand awareness.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
