Company believes it is less than 60 days from transitioning out of restructuring and into revenue growth
46% improvement in Net Loss and 72% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year, driven by gross margin expansion, SG&A reduction, and the elimination of non-contributory SKUs and vendors
MURRAY, Utah–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Beyond, Inc. (NYSE:BYON), owner of Bed Bath & Beyond, Overstock, buybuy BABY, and a blockchain asset portfolio, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Adrianne Lee, President and Chief Financial Officer of Beyond, commented, “While the previously disclosed decision to eliminate non-contributory SKUs and vendors led to lower revenue, we are steadfast in building a more stable foundation for profitability and growth. The sequential improvements we’ve seen—particularly in gross margin expansion and fixed cost reductions—underscore the intensity I expect in restoring the financial discipline critical to building a profitable growing business.”
Marcus Lemonis, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer, added, “Our first quarter results illustrate our team’s progress against the mandate to return to profitability including margin optimization, SKU rationalization, and fixed cost restructuring. The consistency we saw in the final weeks of the quarter through today in sales performance and marketing efficiency marks a tipping point. Coming out of the restructuring, we have a clear understanding of our levers to breakeven and generate a profit. With a newly right-sized cost structure, we believe we are within 60 days of transitioning to a revenue and gross profit growth playbook.”
Lemonis concluded, “We will deliver value to our customers across our family of brands through affordability, access to trusted top-tier brands, a better site experience, and new category rollouts, all while navigating current tariff and macroeconomic volatility with the strength of our diversified vendor base – domestic and international. This team is equipped and focused on our key guideposts to deliver revenue growth and profitability.”

Supplemental Operational Data
We measure our business using operational metrics, in addition to the financial metrics shown above and the non-GAAP financial measures explained below. We believe these metrics provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results and provide key performance indicators to track our progress. These indicators include changes in customer order patterns and the mix of products purchased by our customers.
Active customers represent the total number of unique customers who have made at least one purchase during the prior twelve-month period. This metric captures both the inflow of new customers and the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase during the prior twelve-month period.
Last twelve months (LTM) net revenue per active customer represents total net revenue in a twelve-month period divided by the total number of active customers for the same twelve-month period.
Orders delivered represents the total number of orders delivered in any given period, including orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available, and in those circumstances, we estimate delivery dates based on historical data.
Average order value is defined as total net revenue in any given period divided by the total number of orders delivered in that period.
Orders per active customer is defined as orders delivered in a twelve-month period divided by active customers for the same twelve-month period.
The following table provides our key operating metrics:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
We are providing certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release and related earnings conference call, including adjusted diluted net loss per share, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP measures internally in analyzing our financial results and we believe they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and, in the case of free cash flow, our liquidity position, in the same manner as our management and board of directors. We have provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in this earnings release. These non-GAAP financial measures should be used in addition to and in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted diluted net loss per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (net loss) less the income or losses recognized from our equity method securities, net of related tax. We believe that this adjustment to our net income (net loss) before calculating per share amounts for the current period presented provides a useful comparison between our operating results from period to period.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (net loss) before depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, interest and other income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes, and special items. We believe the exclusion of certain benefits and expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net cash provided by or used in operating activities reduced by expenditures for property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate the cash impact of the operations of the business including purchases of property and equipment which are a necessary component of our ongoing operations.
