Notes to Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are those of Wayfair Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Wayfair Inc. and its subsidiaries. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the audited financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Furthermore, interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ended December 31, 2022 or future periods.

The Company has identified the significant accounting policies that are critical to understanding its business and results of operations. Wayfair believes that there have been no significant changes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 to the items disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Wayfair changed its presentation from thousands to millions. As a result of the change in presentation, prior period amounts in the unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation and certain current and prior period amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

2. Supplemental Financial Statement Disclosures
Accounts Receivable, Net
As of June 30, 2022, we reported accounts receivable of $308 million, net of allowance for credit losses of $11 million. As of December 31, 2021, we reported accounts receivable of $226 million, net of allowance for credit losses of $12 million. The changes in the allowance for credit losses were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Management believes credit risk is mitigated since approximately 98% of the net revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was collected in advance of recognition.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities included in other current liabilities was $287 million at June 30, 2022 and $306 million at December 31, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Wayfair recognized $207 million of net revenue that was included in other current liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
Net revenue from contracts with customers is disaggregated by geographic region because this manner of disaggregation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of net revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Refer to Note 10, Segment and Geographic Information, for additional detail.

Table of Contents
Impairment and Other Charges
During the second quarter of 2022, Wayfair identified an indicator of impairment for one of our U.S. office locations, which was primarily due to current sublease market conditions. We performed an analysis and determined that the carrying amount of the asset group exceeded its fair value, which was calculated based on estimated future sublease income. As a result, we recorded a charge of $40 million during the second quarter of 2022, which included $32 million of non-cash impairment of the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, $7 million for the non-cash impairment of fixed assets and the remainder for other items.
In the first quarter of 2021, Wayfair enacted a plan to consolidate certain customer service centers in identified U.S. locations to transition toward virtual service models. Factors that influenced our decision were our ability to utilize a greater use of remote and home office applications and our ability to provide superior customer care. As a result, we recorded a charge of $12 million during the second quarter of 2021, which included $6 million for the non-cash impairment of ROU assets, $5 million for the non-cash accelerated depreciation of fixed assets and the remainder for other items. The impairment of ROU assets represents the excess of estimated future remaining call center lease commitments over expected future sublease income in certain affected facilities.
3. Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments and Fair Value Measurements
Investments
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of Wayfair’s marketable securities, which primarily consisted of corporate bonds and other government obligations that are priced at fair value, were classified as available-for-sale investments. Wayfair did not have any realized gains nor losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Wayfair did not recognize any credit losses related to its available-for-sale debt securities. Further, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Wayfair did not record an allowance for credit losses related to its available-for-sale debt securities.
The following tables present details of Wayfair’s investment securities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Fair Value Measurements
Wayfair's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, which is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
▪Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
▪Level 2—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full-term of the asset or liability
▪Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability
This hierarchy requires Wayfair to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. We classify our cash equivalents within Level 1 because we value these investments using

Table of Contents
quoted market prices. The fair value of our Level 1 financial assets is based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. We classify short-term investments within Level 2 because unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets are not active. None of our cash and cash equivalents or investments are classified as Level 3.  
The following tables set forth the fair value of Wayfair’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Revolving Credit Facility
10
Table of Contents
Wayfair has a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), which matures on March 24, 2026, and provides for non-amortizing revolving loans in an aggregate amount of $600 million. Under the Revolver, the Borrower may, from time to time, request letters of credit, which reduce the availability of credit under the Revolver. Wayfair had approximately $65 million in outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2022, primarily as security for lease agreements. As of June 30, 2022, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver.
Convertible Non-Accreting Notes
The following table summarizes certain terms related to our outstanding non-accreting convertible notes (collectively, the “Non-Accreting Notes” and together with the 2025 Accreting Notes, the “Notes”):

Convertible Accreting Notes
No cash interest is payable on the 2025 Accreting Notes. Instead, the 2025 Accreting Notes accrue interest at a rate of 2.50% per annum, which accretes to the principal amount on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 2025 Accreting Notes will mature on April 1, 2025, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The annual effective interest rate of the 2025 Accreting Notes is 2.7%.
Conversion and Redemption Terms of the Notes
Wayfair's Notes will mature at their maturity date unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted. The Notes’ initial conversion terms are summarized below:
Convertible NotesMaturity DateFree Convertibility DateInitial Conversion Rate per $1,000 PrincipalInitial Conversion PriceRedemption Date
2022 NotesSeptember 1, 2022June 1, 20229.6100$104.06September 8, 2020

2025 Accreting NotesApril 1, 2025-13.7931$72.50May 9, 2023
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain distributions and dividends to all or substantially all of the holders of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest.
Wayfair will settle any conversions of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or a combination thereof, with the form of consideration determined at Wayfair’s election. The holders of the Non-Accreting Notes may convert all or a portion of the notes prior to certain conversion dates (the “Free Convertibility Date”) under the following circumstances (in each case, as applicable to each series of Non-Accreting Notes):
•during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
•during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period") in which the trading price (as defined in the applicable indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
•if Wayfair calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) (“the close of business”) on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; and
11
Table of Contents
•upon the occurrence of specified corporate events (as set forth in the applicable indenture).
On or after the applicable Free Convertibility Date until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the applicable maturity date, holders of the Non-Accreting Notes may convert their Non-Accreting Notes at any time.
Because the conditional conversion features of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022, the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2022. As of June 1, 2022, the 2022 Notes are freely convertible and the holders of the 2022 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2022 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Wayfair will settle any conversion of 2022 Notes with a number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes converted equal to the conversion rate applicable to the 2022 Notes.
The holders of the 2025 Accreting Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2025 Accreting Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Wayfair will settle any conversion of 2025 Accreting Notes with a number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock per $1,000 original principal amount of 2025 Accreting Notes equal to the accreted principal amount of such original principal amount of 2025 Accreting Notes divided by the conversion price.
Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture), holders of the Notes may require Wayfair to repurchase all or a portion of the Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted principal amount) of the Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date (such interest to be included in the accreted principal amount for the 2025 Accreting Notes). Holders of the Non-Accreting Notes who convert their respective notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change or a notice of redemption (each as defined in the indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate of the respective notes. Holders of the 2025 Accreting Notes who convert in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the applicable indenture) may be entitled to a premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate.
Wayfair may not redeem the Notes prior to certain dates (the “Redemption Date”). On or after the applicable Redemption Date, Wayfair may redeem for cash all or part of the applicable series of Notes if the last reported sale price of Wayfair’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% (Non-Accreting Notes) or 276% (2025 Accreting Notes) of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five trading days immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Wayfair provides notice of the redemption. The redemption price will be either 100% of the principal amount (or accreted principal amount) of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or the if-converted value holder elects to convert their Notes upon receiving notice of redemption.
Conversions of Notes
There were no conversions of the Notes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
In the three months ended June 30, 2021, holders of the 2022 Notes and 2026 Notes converted $15 million of aggregate principal and received 139,196 shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, holders of the 2022 Notes and 2026 Notes converted $15 million of aggregate principal and received 143,440 shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, GHEP VII Aggregator, L.P. converted $253 million of accreted principal of the 2025 Accreting Notes and received 3,490,175 shares of Wayfair's Class A common stock. In aggregate, these conversions increased additional paid-in capital by $14 million and $265 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Interest Expense
Wayfair recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $7 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $13 million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. We recognized contractual interest expense and debt discount amortization of $7 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $12 million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Fair Value of Notes
The estimated fair value of the 2022 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes was $2 million, $465 million, $1.0 billion, $603 million and $22 million respectively, as of June 30, 2022. The estimated fair value of the Non-Accreting Notes was determined through consideration of quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of the 2025 Accreting Notes was determined through an option pricing model using Level 3 inputs. The fair values of the Non-Accreting Notes and the 2025 Accreting Notes are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, as defined in Note 3, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investments and Fair Value Measurements. The if-converted value of the 2022 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes did not exceed the principal value as of June 30, 2022.
Capped Calls
The 2022 Capped Calls, 2024 Capped Calls, 2025 Capped Calls and 2026 Capped Calls (collectively, the "Capped Calls") are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Non-Accreting Notes upon conversion of the Non-Accreting Notes if the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the applicable Capped Call (which correspond to the initial conversion price of the applicable Non-Accreting Notes and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the applicable Capped Call), with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price of the applicable Capped Calls (the "Initial Cap Price"). The Capped Calls can, at Wayfair’s option, remain outstanding until their maturity date, even if all or a portion of the Non-Accreting Notes are converted, repurchased or redeemed prior to such date.
Each of the Capped Calls has an initial cap price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock, which represented a premium over the last reported sale price (or, with respect to the 2025 Capped Calls, the volume-weighted average price) of Wayfair’s Class A common stock on the date the corresponding Non-Accreting Notes were priced (the "Cap Price Premium"), and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the corresponding agreements. Collectively, the Capped Calls cover, initially, the number of shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock underlying the Non-Accreting Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Non-Accreting Notes.
The initial terms for the Capped Calls are presented below:
Capped CallsMaturity DateInitial Cap PriceCap Price Premium
2022 Capped CallsSeptember 1, 2022$154.16100%
2024 Capped CallsNovember 1, 2024$219.63150%
2025 Capped CallsOctober 1, 2025$787.08150%
2026 Capped CallsAugust 15, 2026$280.15150%
The Capped Calls are separate transactions from the Non-Accreting Notes, are not subject to the terms of the Non-Accreting Notes and will not affect any holder’s rights under the Non-Accreting Notes. Similarly, holders of the Non-Accreting Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls. The Capped Calls do not meet the criteria for separate accounting as a derivative as they are indexed to Wayfair's stock. The premiums paid for the Capped Calls were included as a net reduction to additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ deficit when they were entered.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, Wayfair is involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Wayfair does not currently believe that the outcome of any ongoing legal matters will have a material adverse effect on Wayfair's results of operation or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, as it can divert management's attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting Wayfair's overall operations. In addition, Wayfair may also find itself at greater risk to outside party claims as it increases its operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable, or unclear.

6. Stockholders’ Deficit
Preferred Stock
Wayfair authorized 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share, for future issuance. As of June 30, 2022, Wayfair had no shares of undesignated preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
Wayfair authorized 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 164,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 79,850,878 and 79,150,937 shares of Class A common stock and 25,691,397 and 25,691,761 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock may be converted into one share of Class A common stock at the option of its holder and will be automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock upon transfer thereof, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, upon the date on which the outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than 10% of the aggregate number of shares of the then outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock, or in the event of the affirmative vote or written consent of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into Class A common stock. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if the board of directors (the “Board”), in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that the Board may determine. Since Wayfair's initial public offering through June 30, 2022, 56,347,017 shares of Class B common stock were converted to Class A common stock.
Stock Repurchase Program
On August 21, 2020, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $700 million of Wayfair’s Class A common stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan (the “2020 Repurchase Program”). On August 10, 2021, the Board authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program on the same terms (the “2021 Repurchase Program,” together with the 2020 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). There is no stated expiration for the Repurchase Programs. Wayfair will begin repurchasing shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program upon the completion of the 2020 Repurchase Program.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Wayfair did not repurchase any shares of Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Wayfair repurchased $75 million under the Repurchase Programs at an average price of $136.80 per share of Class A common stock.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Wayfair repurchased $300 million through the Repurchase Programs at an average price of $305.50 per share of Class A common stock.
7. Equity-Based Compensation
The Board adopted the 2014 Incentive Award Plan ("2014 Plan") to grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible participants in order to attract, motivate and retain talent. The 2014 Plan is administered by the Board for awards to non-employee directors and by the compensation committee of the Board for other participants and provides for the issuance of stock options, SARs, restricted common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance shares, stock payments, cash payments, dividend awards and other incentives. Prior to the adoption of the 2014 Plan, Wayfair LLC issued certain equity awards pursuant to the Wayfair LLC Amended and Restated Common Unit Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which was administered by the Board of Wayfair LLC. Awards issued under the 2010 Plan that remain outstanding currently represent Class A or Class B common stock of Wayfair Inc.

The 2014 Plan initially made 8,603,066 shares of Class A common stock available for future award grants. The 2014 Plan also contains an evergreen provision whereby the shares available for future grants are increased on the first day of each calendar year from January 1, 2016 through and including January 1, 2024. As of January 1, 2022, 6,443,150 shares of Class A common stock were available for future grant under the 2014 Plan. Shares or RSUs forfeited, withheld for minimum statutory tax obligations, and unexercised stock option lapses from the 2010 and 2014 Plans are available for future grant under the 2014 Plan.

Wayfair may settle conversions of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes and 2026 Notes in cash, shares of Wayfair’s Class A common stock or any combination thereof at its election. Wayfair will settle conversions of the 2022 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes in shares. The Capped Calls are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution of Wayfair's Class A common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset the cash payments Wayfair is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes upon conversion of the Notes to the extent the market price per share of Wayfair’s Class A common stock is greater than the strike price of the Capped Calls (which corresponds to the initial conversion prices of the Non-Accreting Notes, subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the Capped Calls), with such reduction and/or offset capped at the Initial Cap Price. As of June 30, 2022, the number of shares of Wayfair's Class A common stock potentially issuable at the respective conversion prices of the 2022 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2025 Accreting Notes, is 25,976 shares, 4,939,825 shares, 3,638,950 shares, 6,389,662 shares and 507,179 shares. Under the Capped Calls outstanding as of June 30, 2022, the maximum cash value obtainable of the 2022 Capped Calls, 2024 Capped Calls, 2025 Capped Calls and 2026 Capped Calls, if exercised at maturity, is $208 million, $510 million, $1.3 billion and $841 million.

10. Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. Wayfair’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. 
Wayfair's operating and reportable segments are the U.S. and International. These segments reflect the way the CODM allocates resources and evaluates financial performance, which is based upon each segment's Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest expense, net, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, net, non-recurring items, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These charges are excluded from evaluation of segment performance because it facilitates reportable segment performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance.
Wayfair allocates certain operating expenses to the operating and reportable segments, including customer service and merchant fees and selling, operations, technology, general and administrative based on the usage and relative contribution provided to the segments. It excludes from the allocations certain operating expense lines, including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, as well as interest expense, net, other income (expense), net, and provision for income taxes, net. There are no net revenue transactions between Wayfair's reportable segments.
U.S.
The U.S. segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's family of sites in the U.S.
International
The International segment primarily consists of amounts earned through product sales through Wayfair's international sites.
Net revenue from external customers for each group of similar products and services are not reported to the CODM. Separate identification of this information for purposes of segment disclosure is impractical, as it is not readily available and the cost to develop it would be excessive. No individual country outside of the U.S. provided greater than 10% of consolidated net revenue.

We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
Overview
Wayfair is one of the world's largest online destinations for the home. Through our e-commerce business model, we offer visually inspired browsing, compelling merchandising, easy product discovery and attractive prices for over thirty-three million products from over 23,000 suppliers.
19
Table of Contents
We believe an increasing portion of the dollars spent on home goods will be spent online and that there is an opportunity for acquiring more market share. Our business model is designed to grow our net revenue by acquiring new customers as well as stimulating repeat purchases from our existing customers. Through increasing brand awareness as well as paid and unpaid advertising, we attract new and repeat customers to our sites. We turn these customers into recurring shoppers by creating a seamless shopping experience across their entire journey — offering best-in-class product discovery, purchasing, fulfillment and customer service.
Global Considerations
COVID-19 Pandemic
We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial results. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on certain developments including the duration and severity of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants that may continue to prolong the pandemic, the amount of time it will take for normal economic activity to resume, future government actions that may be taken, the impact on consumer activity and behaviors and the effect on our customers, employees, suppliers, partners and stockholders, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. See Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for additional details. Our focus remains on promoting the health, safety and financial security of our employees and serving our customers.
In an effort to contain or slow the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities around the world have implemented various measures, some of which have been subsequently rescinded or modified, including travel bans, stay-at-home orders and shutdowns of certain businesses. We anticipate that these actions and the global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including any variants, will continue to negatively impact global economic activity. While it is difficult to predict all of the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, we believe the long-term opportunity that we see for shopping for the home online remains unchanged.
As the COVID-19 pandemic remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material change, we will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities.
Economic Uncertainty
We are also closely monitoring the recent volatility in the global markets and the rise in inflation and interest rates. These developments could continue to negatively impact global economic activity, which may adversely affect our business and our results of operations. As our customers react to these global economic conditions, we may take additional precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity. While it is difficult to predict consumer spending in the near term, we believe the long-term opportunity that we see for shopping for the home remains unchanged.
We will continue to monitor economic conditions as we work to manage our business to meet the evolving needs of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities.
Factors Affecting our Performance
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Key Financial and Operating Metrics
We measure our business using key financial and operating metrics, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). Our Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share are measured on a consolidated basis, while our Adjusted EBITDA is measured on a consolidated and reportable segment basis. All other key financial and operating metrics are derived and reported from our consolidated net revenue.
We use the following metrics to assess the near and longer-term performance of our overall business:

(1) The number of active customers represents the total number of individual customers who have purchased at least once directly from our sites during the preceding twelve-month period. The change in active customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the last twelve months. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth.
(2) LTM net revenue per active customer represents our total net revenue in the last twelve months divided by our total number of active customers for the same preceding twelve-month period. We view LTM net revenue per active customer as a key indicator of our customers' purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.
(3) Orders delivered represents the total orders delivered in that period, inclusive of 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 as such we estimate delivery dates based on historical data. We recognize net revenue when an order is delivered, and therefore orders delivered, together with average order value, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to recognize in a given period. We view orders delivered as a key indicator of our growth.
(4) We define average order value as total net revenue in a given period divided by the orders delivered in that period. We view average order value as a key indicator of the mix of products on our sites, the mix of offers and promotions and the purchasing behavior of our customers.

Results of Consolidated Operations
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Net revenue 
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, net revenue decreased by $573 million, or 14.9%, compared to the same period in 2021, which reflects some normalization in consumer behavior since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as recent macroeconomic pressures felt by consumers. The decrease in net revenue was driven by lower orders, partially offset by higher average order values. There was a decrease in order frequency, with LTM orders per active customer decreasing by 5.6% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. LTM net revenue per active customer increased 12.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, driven by higher average order value due in part to inflationary pressures in the supply chain.
Our U.S. net revenue decreased 9.7% and International net revenue decreased 35.7% in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. International Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth (see “Non-GAAP Measures”) for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was (34.4)%.

Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold is sensitive to many factors, including quarter-to-quarter variability in product mix, pricing strategies, changes in wholesale, shipping and fulfillment costs and fees earned for supplier services rendered. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, cost of goods sold decreased by $341 million, or 12.5%, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in cost of goods sold is primarily driven by a decrease in the number of orders delivered.
The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net revenue is in part due to mix shifts, lower operational efficiencies from fewer orders and rising logistics costs relative to the same period in 2021.

Expenses for customer service and merchant fees, both including and excluding the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes and as a percentage of net revenues, increased during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due to increased compensation costs and a decrease in net revenue.
Advertising
Our advertising expenses increased by $26 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, which reflects our response to changing market conditions as we sought to maintain our efficiency targets across various channels. As a percentage of net revenue, advertising expenses increased to 11.5% in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to 9.1% in the same period in 2021, due in part to changes in advertising channel mix as well as lower direct traffic.

Selling, operations, technology, general and administrative
Excluding the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes, our expenses for selling, operations, technology, general and administrative activities increased by $160 million in three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily attributable to higher personnel costs, and to a lesser extent, higher information technology costs and depreciation and amortization.
As a percentage of net revenue, total selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses increased to 21.0% in three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 12.6% in the same period in 2021, primarily due to the increase in selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses.
Impairment and other charges
During the second quarter of 2022, we identified an indicator of impairment for one of our U.S. office locations, which was primarily due to current sublease market conditions. As a result, we recorded a charge of $40 million during the second quarter of 2022, which included $32 million of non-cash impairment of the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset, $7 million for the non-cash impairment of fixed assets and the remainder for other items. We did not record any charges during the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity 
At June 30, 2022, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $1.7 billion. In addition, we have a $600 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on March 24, 2026 (the “Revolver”). Wayfair had outstanding letters of credit, primarily as security for certain lease agreements, for approximately $65 million as of June 30, 2022, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Excluding liquidity available through our Revolver, the following table shows sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
June 30, 2022December 31, 2021
 (in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents$1,094 $1,706 
Short-term investments$644 $693 
Working capital$242 $795 
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments, cash generated from operations and the borrowing availability under our Revolver will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the foreseeable future. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, we may elect to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. Further, we may from time to time seek to retire, restructure, repurchase or redeem, or otherwise mitigate the equity dilution associated with, our outstanding convertible debt, through cash purchases, stock buybacks of some or all of the shares underlying convertible notes and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, exchanges or liability management exercises, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices and sizes as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.
Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including those set forth Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, macroeconomic events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures to contain its impact, have caused disruption in the capital markets, including increased inflation and interest rates, which could make obtaining financing more difficult and/or expensive. As a consequence, we may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements, those securities and instruments may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and the holders of our equity securities may experience dilution. We will continue to monitor our liquidity during this time of historic disruption and volatility in the global capital markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes
As of June 30, 2022, we had $3.1 billion of indebtedness outstanding.
Under the terms of our Revolver, we may use proceeds to finance working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness and to provide funds for permitted acquisitions, repurchases of equity interests and other general corporate purposes. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity.
The conditional conversion features of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, and 2026 Notes were not triggered during the second quarter of 2022, and therefore the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, and 2026 Notes are not convertible in the third quarter of 2022 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price condition. On June 1, 2022, the 2022 Notes became freely convertible and the holders of the 2022 Notes may convert all or a portion of their 2022 Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 2025 Accreting Notes are convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the maturity date. There were no conversions of the Notes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Whether any of the 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes will be convertible in future quarters will depend on the satisfaction of the applicable last reported sales price condition or another conversion condition in the future. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes at a time when any such 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes or 2026 Notes are convertible, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity.
28
Table of Contents
The credit agreement and indentures governing our convertible notes contain restrictions and covenants that may limit our operating flexibility. Specifically, the Revolver contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on our assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of our businesses. The Revolver also requires us to maintain certain levels of performance in order to maintain our access to the Revolver. For instance, we are required to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the Revolver) of 4.0 to 1.0, subject to a 0.5 step-up following certain permitted acquisitions. For information regarding our credit agreement and convertible notes, see Note 4, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part I, Item 1, Unaudited Consolidated and Condensed Financial Statements, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not expect any of these restrictions to affect our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. During the second quarter of 2022, we were in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our debt agreements.
Stock Repurchase Program
On August 21, 2020, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $700 million of our Class A common stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan (the “2020 Repurchase Program”). On August 10, 2021, the Board authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program on the same terms (the “2021 Repurchase Program,” together with the 2020 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). Wayfair will begin repurchasing shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program upon the completion of the 2020 Repurchase Program.
The Repurchase Programs do not obligate Wayfair to purchase any shares of Class A common stock and have no expiration but may be suspended or terminated by the Board at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Programs in the future will be determined by Wayfair in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our capital needs and whether there is a better alternative use of capital. As of June 30, 2022, Wayfair has repurchased 2,354,491 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $612 million under the Repurchase Programs.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities$(341)$452 
Net cash used in investing activities$(189)$(196)
Net cash used in financing activities$(75)$(300)
Operating Activities
Cash flows in connection with operating activities consisted of net (loss) income adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, loss on impairment and certain other non-cash expenses, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Operating cash flows can be volatile and are sensitive to many factors, including changes in working capital and our net (loss) income.
Cash flows used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $793 million compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to the decrease in cash from operating assets and liabilities of $104 million and decrease in net income of $846 million, partially offset by the increase in the loss on impairment of $28 million, increase in equity-based compensation of $79 million, increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $18 million, and increase in other non-cash items of $32 million.
 Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $7 million compared to the same period in 2021 due to the decrease in purchases of short- and long-term investments of $211 million, partially offset by the increase in site and software development costs of $57 million, decrease in sales and maturities of short- and long-term investments of $103 million, and increase in purchases of property and equipment of $44 million. Purchases of property and equipment and site and software development costs (collectively “Capital Expenditures”) were 3.9% of net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and primarily related to equipment purchases and improvements for leased warehouses within our expanding logistics network and ongoing investments in our proprietary technology and operational platform. On an absolute
29
Table of Contents
dollar basis, we expect Capital Expenditures for the third quarter of 2022 to be within a range of $110 million and $120 million as we continue to expand our technology and logistics network.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 were $75 million and $300 million due to the repurchase of Class A common stock under authorized share repurchase programs in the respective period.
Contractual Obligations
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Wayfair entered into contractual obligations of $255 million for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases that have not yet commenced. Other than the additional lease obligations, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and estimates as compared to the contractual obligations described in Contractual Obligations included in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed here and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and related taxes, interest expense, net, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, net, non-recurring items, and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 
We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is a key measure used by our management and the Board to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: 
▪Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect equity-based compensation and related taxes;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our working capital;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expenses associated with our borrowings;
▪Adjusted EBITDA does not include other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and
▪Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net (loss) income and our other GAAP results.

Free Cash Flow
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have also disclosed here and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash flows from or for operating activities less Capital Expenditures. We have provided a reconciliation below of Free Cash Flow to net cash flows from or for operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
We have included Free Cash Flow in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is an important indicator of our business performance as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool because it omits certain components of the cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Free Cash Flow differently. Accordingly, you should not consider Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Free Cash Flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net cash flows from or for operating activities, Capital Expenditures and our other GAAP results.

Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate by translating the current period local currency net revenue by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period.

Table of Contents
Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth is included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q because it is an important indicator of our operating results. Accordingly, we believe that Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results in the same manner as our management.
Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth rates, by their nature, exclude the impact of foreign exchange, which may have a material impact on net revenue.
Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net (loss) income plus equity-based compensation and related taxes, provision for income taxes, net, non-recurring items, other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per share. Accordingly, we believe that these adjustments to our adjusted diluted net (loss) income before calculating per share amounts for all periods presented provides a more meaningful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share, by its nature, excludes equity-based compensation and related taxes, provision for income taxes, net, non-recurring items, other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted Diluted (Loss) Earnings per Share alongside other financial performance measures.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2021. See Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
