Management Discussion
- We operate in two reportable segments to reflect the way our CODM reviews and assesses the performance of the business. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
- Direct to Consumer revenue decreased by $9.2 million, or 7.6%, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by a 5.8%, or 0.2 million decrease in Total Orders, in addition to a $0.62, or 1.9% decrease in AOV.
- Commerce revenue was relatively flat for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022.
