Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference, as well as other public documents and statements our officers and representatives may make from time to time, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are therefore entitled to the protection of the safe harbor provisions of these laws. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as "may," "would," "could," "should," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "contemplate," "seek," "assume," "believe," "intend," "plan," "forecast," "goal," "estimate," or other similar expressions which identify these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business, and on management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, you are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, and that actual results may be materially different from the results expressed or implied by any of our forward-looking statements.

Actual events or results may differ materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons, including among others:

the impact that the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic may have on our business and the industries in which we and our subsidiaries and investee entities operate;
the impact that any litigation or regulatory matters could have on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;
the possibility that we will be unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, raise any required additional capital or borrow additional funds, in the case of capital-raising or borrowing on acceptable terms, to successfully conduct our business or pursue our initiatives in a timely manner or at all;
any increases in the price of importing into the U.S. the types of merchandise we sell in our retail business or other supply chain challenges that limit our access to merchandise we sell in our retail business;
any difficulties we may encounter as a result of our reliance on third-parties that we do not control for the performance of critical functions material to our business;
any strategic transactions, restructurings or other changes we may make to our business;
any downturn in the U.S. housing industry or other changes in U.S. and global economic conditions or U.S. consumer spending, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise;
our exposure to cyber security risks, risks of data loss and other security breaches;
any challenges that result in the unavailability of our Website or reduced performance of our transaction systems;
the possibility that we are unable to protect our proprietary technology and to obtain trademark protection for our marks;
current claims of intellectual property infringement to which we are subject and additional infringement claims to which we may become subject in the future;
the commercial, competitive, technical, operational, financial, regulatory, legal, reputational, marketing and other obstacles we face in trying to create a profitable business from our blockchain initiatives, including tZERO;
the extensive regulatory regimes applicable to tZERO and the possibility that various tZERO subsidiaries or ventures do not receive the regulatory approval required to operate their anticipated businesses;
any losses or issues we may encounter as a consequence of accepting or holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies;
our inability to attract and retain key personnel;
the possibility that the cost of our current insurance policies may increase significantly or fail to adequately protect us as expected; and
the other risks described in this report or in our other public filings.

In evaluating all forward-looking statements, you should specifically consider the risks outlined above and in this Report, especially under the headings "Special Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," "Risk Factors," "Legal Proceedings," and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by any forward-looking statement. Although we believe that our expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee or offer any assurance of future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements or other future events. Our forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and, except as required by law, we undertake no




obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or any changes in our expectations or any change in any events, conditions or circumstances on which any of our forward-looking statements are based.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Overstock.com, Inc. is an online retailer and advancer of blockchain technology. As used herein, "Overstock," "the Company," "we," "our" and similar terms include Overstock.com, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.year, due to seasonal and other factors.

In the fourth quarterFor purposes of 2018,comparability, we completed our annual review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our Chief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization of transitioning our retail business to focus on the retail partner portion of our business which has resultedreclassified other certain immaterial amounts in the retail direct portion of our business becoming less significant, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our business. Accordingly, revenues and cost of goods sold previously recorded in "Direct" and "Partner and Other" are now split between "Retail" and "Other" on the consolidated statements of operations. "Retail" includes retail revenue and costs of goods sold from both "Direct" and "Partner" transactions. Our revenues and costs of goods sold related to our Medici business remains in "Other". In addition, we have recast the prior period revenues and cost of goods soldperiods presented to conform with the current yearperiod presentation. Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments in our Business Segment disclosures. In addition, tZERO has been identified as a reportable segment separate from Other due to its operating activities exceeding quantitative thresholds for separate reporting.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and other subsidiaries for which we exercise control. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Included
In February 2020, Medici Land Governance, Inc. ("MLG"), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary, consummated the sale of shares of its common stock to an unrelated third-party. Upon completion of the transaction, our indirect ownership in MLG was reduced from 57% to 35% of MLG's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result of our loss of a controlling financial interest in MLG under the voting interest model, we performed an assessment of control under the variable interest entity ("VIE") model and determined MLG does not meet the qualifications of a VIE for purposes of our consolidation. Accordingly, we deconsolidated MLG's consolidated net assets and noncontrolling interest from our consolidated financial statements areand results beginning on February 22, 2020, the financial resultsdate that control ceased. The amount of Bitsy, Inc. fromgain recognized on the acquisition datedeconsolidation was $10.7 million, which is included in our consolidated statements of January 1, 2019, Verify Investor, LLC fromoperations in Other income (expense), net. The gain primarily relates to the acquisition dateremeasurement of February 12, 2018,our retained equity interest in MLG at fair value, which was determined based on the same price per share MLG provided for the sale of common stock to the third-party and Mac Warehouse, LLC from the acquisition dateprice per share we received in settling a portion of June 25, 2018.our intercompany debt for additional shares in MLG. Post deconsolidation, MLG became one of our equity method investees for which we perform services. See Equity method securities under ASC 323 below for additional information.

Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principlesGAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, receivables valuation, revenue recognition, Club O and gift card breakage, sales returns, vendor incentive discount offers, inventory valuation, depreciable lives of property and equipment and internally-developed software, goodwill valuation, intangible asset valuation, equity securities valuation, income taxes, stock-based compensation, performance-based compensation, self-funded health insurance liabilities and contingencies. Our estimates involving, among other items, sales volume, pricing, cost and availability of inventory, consumer demand and spending habits, and the continued operations of our supply chain and logistics network are even more difficult to estimate as a result of uncertainties associated with the duration of the various shelter-in-place orders across the globe related to the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and the post-pandemic economic recovery. Although




these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, the variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty associated with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. To the extent there are differences between these estimates and actual results, our consolidated financial statements may differbe materially from these estimates.

affected.

Cash equivalents

We classify all highly liquid instruments, including instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents were $3.0$2.8 million and $3.1$2.8 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
 
Restricted cash
 
We consider cash that is legally restricted and cash that is held as compensating balances for credit arrangements, surety bonds, and self-funded health insurance as restricted cash.
 
Fair value of financial instruments

We account for our assets and liabilities using a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the fair-value hierarchy below. This hierarchy requires us to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value.

Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; 
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Our assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are cash equivalents, certain equity securities, and deferred compensation liabilities, which fair values are determined using quoted market prices from daily exchange traded markets on the closing price as of the balance sheet date and are classified as Level 1. Our other financial instruments, including cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, finance obligations, and debt are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. Certain assets, including long-lived assets, certain equity securities, goodwill, cryptocurrencies, and other intangible assets, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (level 3), apart from cryptocurrencies which use quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment).

The following tables summarize our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the following levels of inputs as of March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, as indicated (in thousands):

Accounts receivable, net
 
Accounts receivable consist primarily of carrier rebates, trade amounts due from customers in the United States and uncleared credit card transactions at period end. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and do not bear interest. From time to time, we grant credit to some of our business customers on normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivableexpected credit losses based upon our business customers' financial condition, and payment history, and our historical collection experience, and any future expected collectability of accounts receivable.economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts receivablecredit losses was $2.4$1.0 million and $2.1$2.5 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

Concentration of credit risk
 
One bank held the majority of our cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. Our cash equivalents primarily consist of money market securities which are uninsured. We do not believe that, as a result of this concentration, we are subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Inventories net
 
Inventories net include merchandise purchased for resale, which are accounted for using a standard costing system which approximates the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method of accounting and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently available information, about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.
 
Prepaids and other current assets

Prepaids and other current assets represent expenses paid prior to receipt of the related goods or services, including advertising, license fees, maintenance, packaging, insurance, prepaid inventories, other miscellaneous costs, notes receivables, and cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies"). See Cryptocurrencies below.

Cryptocurrencies

Table of Contents

We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets ("cryptocurrencies") such as bitcoin and we include them in Prepaids and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our cryptocurrencies were $2.1 million and $2.4 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and are recorded at cost less impairment.

We recognize impairment on these assets caused by decreases in market value, determined by taking quoted prices from various digital currency exchanges with active markets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. See Fair value of financial instruments above. Such impairment in the

value of our cryptocurrencies is recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Impairments on cryptocurrencies were $318,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There was $8.8 million impairment on cryptocurrencies during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Gains and losses realized upon sale of cryptocurrencies are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We occasionally use our cryptocurrencies to purchase other cryptocurrencies. Gains and losses realized with these non-cash transactions are also recorded in General and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. These non-cash transactions as well as gains (losses) from cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are also presented as an adjustment to reconcile Net income (loss) to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Further, the proceeds from the sale of cryptocurrencies received through our tZERO security token offering are presented as a financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows due to its near immediate conversion into cash and its economic similarity to the receipt of cash proceeds under the tZERO security token offering. Realized gains on sale of cryptocurrencies were $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. There were $1.5 million realized gains on sale of cryptocurrencies during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Property and equipment, net
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and stated net of depreciation and amortization. Upon sale or retirement of assets, cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in our consolidated statements of operations. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets or the term of the related finance lease, whichever is shorter, as follows: 
 
Life
(years)
Building40
Land improvements20
Building machinery and equipment15-20
Furniture and equipment5-7
Computer hardware3-4
Computer software, including internal-use software and website development2-4
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the related leases or estimated useful lives.

Included in property and equipment is the capitalized cost of internal-use software and website development, including software used to upgrade and enhance our Website and processes supporting our business. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over the estimated useful life. Costs incurred related to design or maintenance of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.

During the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, we capitalized $3.5$2.9 million and $2.4$3.5 million, respectively, of costs associated with internal-use software and website development, both developed internally and acquired externally. Depreciation of costs for the same periods associated with internal-use software and website development during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $3.2$3.4 million and $3.4$3.2 million, respectively.

Depreciation expense is classified within the corresponding operating expense categories on our consolidated statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

Equity securities under ASC 321

At March 31, 2019,2020, we held minority interests (less than 20%) in thirteencertain public and privately held entities, accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")ASC Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities ("ASC 321"), which are included in Equity securities and Marketable securities in our consolidated balance sheets. One of theseWe measure our ASC 321 equity securities which had a carrying value of $2.0 million at March 31, 2019, is carriedand marketable securities at fair value, based on Level 1 inputs. See Fair value of financial instruments above. The remaining equity securities lackunless there is no readily determinable fair values and therefore the securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactionsvalue for the identical or similar equity securities ofunderlying security. Where there is no readily determinable fair value, we have elected the same issuer.measurement alternative described in ASC 321 and below. Dividends received are reported in earnings if and when received. We review our securities individually for impairment by evaluating if events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate the fair value of the investmentsecurity is less than its carrying value. If such events or circumstances have occurred, we estimate the fair value of the investmentsecurity and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the investmentsecurity and its carrying value which areis recorded as unrealized gains or losses on our investments in Other income (expense), net onin our consolidated statements of operations. In such cases, the estimated fair value of the investmentsecurity is determined using unobservable inputs including assumptions by the investee's management including quantitative information such as lower valuations in recently completed or proposed financings. These inputs are classified as Level 3. Because several of these private companies are in the early startup or development stages, these entities are subject to potential changes in cash flows, and valuation, as well as inability to raise additional capital which may be necessary for the liquidity needed to support their operations.

Certain of our equity securities lack readily determinable fair values and therefore the securities are measured at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar equity securities of the same issuer. The carrying amount of our investments under ASC 321equity securities without readily determinable fair values was approximately $16.5$3.9 million and $20.3$3.9 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Cumulative downward adjustments for price changes and impairments for our equity securities without readily determinable fair values were $6.2 million, and the cumulative upward adjustments for price changes to equity investments were $958,000 as of March 31, 2020. The impairments and downward adjustments for the period related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values at March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows (in thousands):

Equity method securities under ASC 323

At March 31, 2019,2020, we held minority interests in eightcertain privately held entities accounted for as equity method securities under ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures ("ASC 323"), which are included in Equity securities in our consolidated balance sheets. We can exercise significant influence, but not control, over these private companies investeesentities through either holding more than a 20% voting interest in the entity or through our representation on the entity's board of directors. For certain of these entities, we provide developer and other secondment services. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $1.6 million and $608,000 of developer and other secondment services revenue, respectively, in Other revenue on our consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of our equity method securities was approximately $32.0$49.5 million and $40.1$37.3 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The carrying value of our equity method securities exceeded the amount of underlying equity in net assets of the investeesour equity method securities and the difference was primarily related to goodwill and the fair value of intangible assets. The basis difference attributable to amortizable intangible assets is amortized over their estimated useful lives. We record our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the investeefrom our equity method securities and the amortization of the basis difference related to intangible assets in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations with corresponding adjustments to the carrying value of the investment.asset. We review our securities individually for impairment by evaluating if events or circumstances have occurred that may indicate the fair value of the security is less than its carrying value. If such events or circumstances have occurred and deemed to be "other-than-temporary," we estimate the fair value of the security and recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference between the fair value of the security and its carrying value which is recorded in Other income (expense), net in our consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the net losses recognized on equity method securities for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018:(in thousands):

At March 31, 2020, we had a $5 million contractual off-balance sheet contingent obligation to provide additional funding in the future to our Boston Security Token Exchange LLC ("BSTX") joint venture if and when, during the first 48 months after the establishment of the entity, the aggregate cash balance of BSTX's combined bank accounts fall below $2 million for any reason. Such obligation has not been accrued for as the timing of the resolution of the contingency and payment of such obligation is not determinable as of the balance sheet date.

Leases
 
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We account for lease agreements as either operating or finance leases depending on certain defined criteria. Operating leases are recognized in Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets, Operating lease liabilities, current, and Operating lease liabilities, non-current on our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in Other long-term assets, net, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In certain of our lease agreements, we receive rent holidays and other incentives. We recognize lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term without regard to deferred payment terms, such as rent holidays, that defer the commencement date of required payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, and we adjust our measurement of the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease payments used in measurement of the lease liability typically do not include executory costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance, unless those costs can be reasonably estimated at lease commencement. Leasehold improvements are capitalized at cost and amortized over the lesser of their expected useful life or the life of the lease, without assuming renewal features, if any, are exercised. We do not separate lease and non-lease components for our leases.

Treasury stock
 
We account for treasury stock of our common shares under the cost method and include treasury stock as a component of stockholders' equity.
 
Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually or when we deem that a triggering event has occurred. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, we make a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the reporting unit, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill. Our December 2019 annual impairment tests of goodwill indicated no impairment of our goodwill at December 31, 2019.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the retail sector, overall economy, and our market capitalization, we performed an interim goodwill impairment assessment to determine whether an impairment loss may have been incurred. We qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2020. We reviewed our forecasts and assumptions based on our current projections that are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including: (1) forecasted revenues, expenses and cash flows, including the duration and extent of impact to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) the reduction in our market capitalization, (3) the impact of social distancing on our workforce, along with any other government mandated measures and (4) the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had to our supply chain. Based on our interim impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, we have determined that our goodwill is not impaired. However, we are unable to predict how long these conditions will persist, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or private parties or what effect any such additional measures may have on our business. There were no impairments to goodwill recorded during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

For three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized $2.5 million in goodwill related to a business acquisition as described in Note 3—Business Combinations.

Intangible assets other than goodwill

We capitalize and amortize intangible assets other than goodwill over their estimated useful lives unless such lives are indefinite. Intangible assets other than goodwill acquired separately from third-parties are capitalized at cost while such assets acquired as part of a business combination are capitalized at their acquisition-date fair value. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value more likely than not exceeds its fair value. In addition, we routinely evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life, including any legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that may limit their useful lives. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method of amortization over their useful lives, with the exception of certain intangibles (such as acquired technology, customer relationships, and trade names) which are amortized using an accelerated method of amortization based on cash flows. These definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable as described below under Impairment of long-lived assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets
 
We review property and equipment, right-of-use assets, and other long-lived assets, including intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. See the Cryptocurrencies section above for our impairment policy over cryptocurrencies. Recoverability is measured by comparison of the assets' carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows the asset group is expected to generate. Cash flow forecasts are based on trends of historical performance and management's estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, the variability of these factors depends on a number of conditions, including uncertainty associated with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, and thus our accounting estimates may change from period to period. If such asset group is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair values. There were no impairments to long-lived assets recorded during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Other long-term assets, net
 
Other long-term assets, net consist primarily of long-term prepaid expenses, deposits, and assets acquired under finance leases.

Revenue recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of a promised product or service transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring those products or services. Revenue excludes taxes that have been assessed by governmental authorities and that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between the Company and its customers, including sales and use taxes. Revenue recognition is evaluated through the following five-step process:
 
1) identification of the contract with a customer;
2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
3) determination of the transaction price;

4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5) recognition of revenue when or as a performance obligation is satisfied.

Product Revenue
    
We derive our revenue primarily from our retail business through our Website but may also derive revenue from sales of merchandise through offline and other channels. Our Retail revenue is derived primarily from merchandise sold at a point in time and shipped to customers. Merchandise sales are fulfilled with inventory sourced through our partners or from our owned inventory, depending on the most efficient means of fulfilling the customer contract. The majority of our sales, however, are fulfilled from inventory sourced through our partners.

Revenue is recognized when control of the product passes to the customer, typically at the date of delivery of the merchandise to the customer or the date a service is provided, and is recognized in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for such goods or services. As such, customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times, which are calculated using the following factors: (i) the type of shipping carrier (as carriers have different in-transit times); (ii) the fulfillment source (either our warehouses, those warehouses we control, or those of our partners); (iii) the delivery destination; and (iv) actual transit time experience, which shows that delivery date is typically one to eight business days from the date of shipment. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.estimates which can be further impacted by uncertainty, volatility, and any disruption to our carriers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Generally, we require authorization from credit card or other payment vendors whose services we offer to our customers (such as PayPal), or verification of receipt of payment, before we ship products to consumers or business purchasers. From time to time we grant credit to our business purchasers with normal credit terms (typically 30 days). We generally receive payments from our customers before our payments to our suppliers are due. We do not recognize assets associated with costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Shipping and handling is considered a fulfillment activity, as it takes place prior to the customer obtaining control of the merchandise, and fees charged to customers are included in net revenue upon completion of our performance obligation. We present revenue net of sales taxes, discounts, and expected refunds.

Our merchandise sales contracts include terms that could cause variability in the transaction price for items such as discounts, credits, or sales returns. Accordingly, the transaction price for product sales includes estimates of variable consideration to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur. At the time of sale, we estimate a sales return liability for the variable consideration based on historical experience, which is recorded within Accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

Table of Contents



We evaluate the criteria outlined in ASC 606-10-55, Principal versus Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of merchandise sales and related costs or the net amount earned as commissions. When we are the principal in a transaction and control the specific good or service before it is transferred to the customer, revenue is recorded gross; otherwise, revenue is recorded on a net basis. Through contractual terms with our partners, we have the ability to control the promised goods or services and as a result record the majority of our retail revenue on a gross basis.

Our Other revenue occurs primarily through our broker dealerbroker-dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. We evaluate the revenue recognition criteria above for our broker dealerbroker-dealer subsidiaries and we recognize revenue based on the gross amount of consideration that we expect to receive on securities transactions (commission revenue) on a trade date basis.

Club O loyalty program
 
We have a customer loyalty program called Club O Gold for which we sell annual memberships. For Club O Gold memberships, we record membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize revenue ratably over the membership period.


The Club O Gold loyalty program allows members to earn Club O Reward dollars for qualifying purchases made on our Website. Customers may redeem Club O Reward dollars on future purchases made through our Website, which conveys a material right to the customer. As such, the initial transaction price giving rise to the reward dollar is allocated to each separate performance obligation based upon its relative standalone selling price. In determining the stand-alonestandalone selling price, we incorporate assumptions about the redemption rates of loyalty points. We recognize revenue for Club O Reward dollars when customers redeem such rewards as part of a purchase on our Website.

We record the standalone value of reward dollars earned in deferred revenue at the time the reward dollars are earned. Club O Reward dollars expire 90 days after the customer's Club O Gold membership expires. We recognize estimated reward dollar breakage, to which we expect to be entitled, over the expected redemption period in proportion to actual redemptions by customers. Upon adoption of Topic 606, Revenue Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018, we began classifying the breakageBreakage income related to Club O Reward dollars and gift cards are recognized as a component of Retail revenue in our consolidated statements of operations rather than as a component of Other income (expense), net.operations. Breakage included in revenue was $1.1 million$905,000 and $1.7$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018, respectively.2019.

Our total deferred revenue related to the outstanding Club O Reward dollars was $6.7$6.8 million and $6.9$6.7 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The timing of revenue recognition of these reward dollars is driven by actual customer activities, such as redemptions and expirations.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenues are derived primarily from sponsored links and display advertisements that are placed on our Website, distributed via email, or sent out as direct mailers. Advertising revenue is recognized in Retail revenue when the advertising services are rendered. Advertising revenues were less than 2%3% of total net revenues for all periods presented.

Revenue Disaggregation

Disaggregation of revenue by major product line is included in Segment Information in Note 12—11—Business Segments.

Deferred Revenue

When the timing of our provision of goods or services is different from the timing of the payments made by our customers, we recognize a contract liability (customer payment precedes performance).

Customer orders are recorded as deferred revenue prior to delivery of products or services ordered. We record amounts received for Club O Gold membership fees as deferred revenue and we recognize it ratably over the membership period. We record Club O Reward dollars earned from purchases as deferred revenue at the time they are earned based upon the relative standalone selling price of the Club O Reward dollar and we recognize it as Retail revenue in proportion to the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer. If reward dollars are not redeemed, we recognize Retail revenue upon expiration. In addition, we sell gift cards and record related deferred revenue at the time of the sale. We sell gift cards without expiration dates and we recognize revenue from a gift card upon redemption of the gift card. For the unredeemed portion of our gift cards and loyalty program rewards, we will recognize Retail revenue over the expected redemption period based upon the estimated pattern of rights exercised by the customer.

Sales returns allowance
 
We inspect returned items when they arrive at our processing facilities. We refund the full cost of the merchandise returned and all original shipping charges if the returned item is defective or we or our partners have made an error, such as shipping the wrong product. If the return is not a result of a product defect or a fulfillment error and the customer initiates a return of an unopened item within 30 days of delivery, for most products we refund the full cost of the merchandise minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees. However, we reduce refunds for returns initiated more than 30 days after delivery or that are received at our returns processing facility more than 45 days after initial delivery. If our customer returns an item that has been opened or shows signs of wear, we issue a partial refund minus the original shipping charge and actual return shipping fees.
 
Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns. We record an allowance for returns based on current period revenues and historical returns experience. We analyze actual historical returns, current economic trends and changes in order volume and acceptance of our products when evaluating the adequacy of the sales returns allowance in any accounting period.

Cost of goods sold
 
Our Retail cost of goods sold includes product costs, warehousing costs, outbound shipping costs, handling and fulfillment costs, customer service costs, and credit card fees, and is recorded in the same period in which related revenues have been recorded. Our Other cost of goods sold primarily consists of exchange fees, clearing agent fees, and other exchange fees from our broker dealerbroker-dealer subsidiaries in our tZERO segment. These fees are primarily for executing, processing, and settling trades on exchanges and other venues. These fees fluctuate based on changes in trade and share volumes, rate of clearance fees charged by clearing brokers, and exchanges.exchanges (in thousands, except for percentages).

Advertising expense
 
We expense the costs of producing advertisements the first time the advertising takes place and expense the cost of communicating advertising in the period during which the advertising space or airtime is used. Internet advertising expenses are recognized as incurred based on the terms of the individual agreements, which are generally: 1) a commission for traffic driven to our Website that generates a sale or 2) a referral fee based on the number of clicks on keywords or links to our Website generated during a given period. Advertising expense is included in Sales and marketing expenses and totaled $28.5$32.6 million and $68.9$28.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. Prepaid advertising (included in Prepaids and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets) was $478,000$245,000 and $961,000$138,000 at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.
 

Stock-based compensation
 
We measure compensation expense for all outstanding unvested share-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards at the greater of a straight-line basis or on an accelerated schedule when vesting of the share-based awards exceeds a straight-line basis. When an award is forfeited prior to the vesting date, we recognize an adjustment for the previously recognized expense in the period of the forfeiture. See Note 10—9—Stock-Based Awards.

Loss contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal proceedings and other potential loss contingencies. We accrue a liability for such matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount, or a range of amounts, can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of probable loss can be estimated, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. We expense legal fees as incurred (see Note 7—6—Commitments and Contingencies).

Income taxes

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.

Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in law, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.


Table of Contents



Each quarter we assess the recoverability of our deferred tax assets under ASC Topic 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets, therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to uncertainty regarding our future taxable income. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31, 20192020 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $1.5$2.7 million at March 31, 2019.2020. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 20142015 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. We are under audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016.

Net loss per share
 
In 2016, we issued shares of ourOur Blockchain Voting Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A Preferred"), Digital Voting Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A-1 Preferred"), and our Voting Series B Preferred Stock, (collectivelypar value $0.0001 per share (the "Series B Preferred" together with the Series A Preferred and Series A-1 Preferred, collectively, the "preferred shares"). These shares are considered participating securities, and as a result, net loss per share is calculated using the two-class method. Under this method, we give effect to preferred dividends and then allocate remaining net loss attributable to our stockholders to both common shares and participating securities (based on the percentages outstanding)

in determining net loss per common share.

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares (after allocating between common shares and participating securities) by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period (after allocating total dilutive shares between our common shares outstanding and our preferred shares outstanding). Potential common shares, comprising incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock awards are included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share to the extent such shares are dilutive. Net loss attributable to common shares is adjusted for options and restricted stock awards issued by our subsidiaries when the effect of our subsidiary's diluted earnings per share is dilutive.
On July 30, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a dividend (the "Dividend") payable in shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The Dividend is payable at a ratio of 1:10, meaning that one share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be issued for every ten shares of OSTK common stock, ten shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, or ten shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by all holders of such shares as of the record date for the Dividend. The record date for the Dividend was April 27, 2020, and the distribution date for the Dividend will be May 19, 2020.

Recently adopted accounting standards

In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, InstrumentsLeasesCredit Losses (Topic 842)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, , which requires lessees to recognize operating leases on-balance sheetrevises how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. Topic 842326 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU No. 2018-10, 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases;326, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments and ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize an ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.

We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either (1) its effective date or (2) the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. If an entity chooses the second option, the transition requirements for existing leases also apply to leases entered into between the date of initial application and the effective date. The entity must also recast its comparative period financial statements and provide the disclosures required by the new standard for the comparative periods. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and thus used the effective date as our date of initial application. Consequently, financial information has not been updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. Upon adoption we recognized cumulative operating lease liabilities of approximately $35.1 million and operating right-of-use assets of approximately $31.0 million which were reflected as non-cash items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The difference of $4.2 million represented deferred rent for leases that existed as of the date of adoption, which was an offset to the opening balance of right-of-use assets.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the "package of practical expedients", which permits us to not reassess under the new standard our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs as well as the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. We did not elect the use-of-hindsight practical expedient. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity's ongoing accounting. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

The standard had a material effect on our financial statements, primarily related to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for our warehouse, office, data center, and equipment operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about our leasing activities. The additional operating liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets were recognized based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments under current leasing standards for our existing operating leases, discounted by our incremental borrowing rate for borrowings of a similar duration on a fully secured basis, with corresponding ROU assets of approximately the same amount.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,2019-11, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718):Codification Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting; Topic 326, Financial Instrumentswhich aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions.Credit Losses. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awardscredit losses will be fixed at the grant date.based on a current expected credit losses methodology. We adopted the changes under the new standard on January 1, 2019 on2020. We utilized a prospective basis.transition approach for our debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2020. As a result, the amortized cost basis remains the same before and after the effective date of ASU 2016-13. The implementation of ASU 2017-012016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.
Recently issued accounting standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes ("Topic 740")Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is required to be adopted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

We estimated the fair value of the acquired assets based on Level 3 inputs, which were unobservable (see Note 2—Accounting Policies, Fair value of financial instruments). These inputs included our estimate of future revenues, operating margins, discount rates, and assumptions about the relative competitive environment. Determination and allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets is based upon preliminary estimates pending our receipt of a completed valuation report and other information. These preliminary estimates and assumptions could change significantly during the measurement period as we finalize the valuations of the intangible assets acquired and related tax impact. Any change could result in variances between our future financial results and the amounts recognized in the financial information presented below, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses associated with these items.

7.6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Legal proceedings and contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in litigation concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. In connection with such litigation, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages. In some instances, other parties may have contractual indemnification obligations to us. However, such contractual obligations may prove unenforceable or non-collectible, and if we cannot enforce or collect on indemnification obligations, we may bear the full responsibility for damages, fees, and costs resulting from such litigation. We may also be subject to penalties and equitable remedies that could force us to alter important business practices. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. The nature of the loss contingencies relating to claims that have been asserted against us are described below.

Our estimated liability for these amounts was included in Accrued liabilities at March 31, 2019. The expense associated with these litigation charges was included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. William French ("French") and the State of Delaware ("Delaware") sued us, along with numerous other defendants, in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for alleged violations of Delaware's unclaimed property laws. French and Delaware alleged that we knowingly refused to fulfill obligations under Delaware's Abandoned Property Law by failing to report and deliver unclaimed gift card funds to the State of Delaware, and knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, false statements and records to conceal, avoid or decrease an obligation to pay or transmit money to Delaware in violation of the Delaware False Claims and Reporting Act.

These cases were consolidated into a single lawsuit in January 2020. In March 2020, the court entered a stay on litigation, pending the outcome of the securities class action motion to dismiss. No estimates of the possible losses or range of losses can be made at this time. We intend to vigorously defend these actions.

On April 23, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against us in the United States DistrictCircuit Court Southern District of New York,the County of St. Louis, State of Missouri, alleging that our website violateswe over-collected taxes on products sold into the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") in addition to other New York specific laws, because it is not accessible to blind and visually impaired people.state of Missouri. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss can be made.made at this time. We intend to vigorously defend this action.
    
On March 15, 2019, Consolidated Transaction Processing, LLC, filed suit against us in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. We are alleged to have infringed patents covering electronic transaction processing methods. No estimate of the possible loss or range of loss can be made. We intend to vigorously defend this action and pursue any indemnification rights that exist with our vendors.

We establish liabilities when a particular contingency is probable and estimable. At March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, we have accrued $10.6$9.6 million and $10.3$9.6 million, respectively, which are included in Accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. It is reasonably possible that the actual losses may exceed our accrued liabilities.

8.7. INDEMNIFICATIONS AND GUARANTEES
 
During our normal course of business, we have made certain indemnities, commitments, and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include, but are not limited to, indemnities towe entered into in favor of Loan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC under our loan agreements, various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facility or lease, the environmental indemnity we entered into in favor of the lenders under our prior loan agreements, customary indemnification arrangements in underwriting agreements and similar agreements, and indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of Delaware. The duration of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, is indefinite. In addition, the majority of these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make. As such, we are unable to estimate with any reasonableness our potential exposure under these items. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments, and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We do, however, accrue for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is both probable and reasonably estimable.

stock outstanding having priority rights as to dividends. No dividends have been

On July 30, 2019, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared or paid onthe Dividend payable in shares of our commonSeries A-1 Preferred stock. On September 18, 2019, we announced our intent to register the Series A-1 Preferred stock through March 31, 2019.to be issued pursuant to the Dividend under the Securities Act of 1933 and postponed the previously announced record and distribution dates for the Dividend. On October 28, 2019, we announced that we would seek a stockholder vote at a stockholder special meeting to allow us to amend the certificates of designation for our preferred shares and removing certain restrictions, to facilitate issuance of the Dividend. On February 13, 2020, a special meeting of stockholders was held, where the stockholders approved amendments to our certificate of designation allowing us to proceed with issuing the Dividend. On April 7, 2020, we announced a record date of April 27, 2020 for the Dividend and a distribution date for the Dividend of May 19, 2020.

Preferred Stock

Each shareOn May 1, 2019, we informed holders of our Series A Preferred stock of an opportunity to exchange (the "Exchange") outstanding Series A Preferred stock for newly-issued shares of the Company's Series A-1 Preferred stock. On June 26, 2019, the Exchange was completed for participating stockholders. In connection with the Exchange, 122,526 shares of Series A Preferred stock were validly tendered and each shareaccepted for exchange by the Company and the Company issued 122,526 shares of Series A-1 Preferred stock in exchange therefore.

On June 26, 2019, in connection with the completion of the Exchange, 1,144 shares of Series A Preferred stock were converted into shares of Series B Preferred (collectivelystock (such transaction, the "preferred shares""Conversion") is. Following the Conversion, 2,895 shares of Series A Preferred stock remained outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and in July 2019, 2,020 of those remaining shares were exchanged for shares of Series A-1 Preferred stock and 875 of those remaining shares were converted into shares of Series B Preferred stock. Following that time, the Company eliminated the Series A Preferred stock by filing a Certificate of Elimination with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Except as required by law, the preferred shares are intended to have voting and dividend rights similar to those of one share of common stock. Preferred shares rank senior to common stock with respect to dividends. Holders of the preferred shares will beare entitled to an annual cash dividend of $0.16 per share, in preference to any dividend payment to the holders of the common stock, out of funds of the Company legally available for payment of dividends and subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. Holders of the preferred shares are also entitled to participate in any cash dividends we pay to the holders of the common stock and are also entitled to participate in non-cash dividends we pay to holders of the common stock, subject to potentially different treatment if we effect a stock dividend, stock split, or combination of the common stock. There are no arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends. We declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.16 per share onto the holders of our preferred stock during 20172018 and 2018.2019.

Neither the Series AA-1 Preferred stock nor Series B Preferred stock is required to be converted into or exchanged for shares of our common stock or any other entity; however, at our sole discretion, we may convert the Series AA-1 Preferred sharesstock into Series B Preferred sharesstock at any time on a one-to-one basis. Until the third anniversary of the original issuance date, we may redeem, at our discretion, both the Series A and Series B Preferred shares for an amount equal to the highest of the following: (1) the subscription price plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, (2) 105% of the average trading price of our common stock during a five-trading-day period and (3) 105% of the average trading price of the series of preferred shares during the same five-day-trading period. In the event of any liquidation, any amount available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all liabilities will be distributed proportionately, with each share of Series AA-1 Preferred stock and each share of Series B Preferred stock being treated as though it were a share of our common stock. If we are party to any merger or consolidation in which our common stock is changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other person (or the Company) or cash or any other property (or a right to receive the foregoing), we will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock to be treated as if such share were an additional outstanding share of common stock in connection with any such transaction. Neither the Series A-1 Preferred stock nor the Series B Preferred stock is registered under the Exchange Act.

11. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Segment information has been prepared in accordance with ASC Topic 280 Segment Reporting. As described in Note 1—Basis of Presentation, we have recast our segment information to conform with current year presentation. We determined our segments based on how we manage our business. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our review of our segment reporting and in light of a strategic shift in our Chief Operating Decision Maker's long-term strategic focus for our organization, we no longer consider the split of retail direct and retail partner as a distinct and relevant measure of our business. Accordingly, Direct and Partner are no longer considered separate reportable segments but are included under Retail in our Business Segment disclosures. Beginning in the first quarter of 2019, we began allocatingWe allocate corporate support costs (administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and legal) to our operating segments based on their estimated usage and based on how we manage our business. Comparative prior year information has not been recast and as a result our corporate support costs for those comparative prior periods remain allocated to our Retail segment. Our Medici business includes onetwo reportable segments, tZERO and the unconsolidated financial information for Medici Ventures ("MVI"). MVI was identified as a reportable segment tZERO.separate from Other during 2019. We have recast prior period segment information to conform with current year presentation. MVI consists of the Medici business not associated with tZERO or MLG. We deconsolidated MLG's consolidated net assets and noncontrolling interest from our consolidated financial statements beginning on February 22, 2020, the date that control ceased. We use pre-tax net income (loss) as the measure to determine our reportable segments. As a result, the remainder of our Medici business is not significant as compared to our Retail and tZERO segments. Our Other segment consists of Medici Ventures' remaining operationsMLG, which was deconsolidated beginning February 22, 2020, and the remainder of our unallocated corporate support costs (administrative functions such as finance, human resources, and legal).costs.

Our Retail segment primarily consists of amounts earned through e-commerce sales through our Website.Website, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation. 

Our tZERO segment primarily consists of amounts earned through securities transactions through our broker-dealers and costs incurred to execute our tZERO business initiatives.initiatives, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation.

Our MVI segment primarily consists of costs incurred to create or foster a set of products and solutions that leverage blockchain technology to generate efficiencies and increase security and control, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation.

We do not allocate assets between our segments for our internal management purposes, and as such, they are not presented here. There were no significant inter-segment sales or transfers during the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

Overview

We are an online retailer and advancer of blockchain technology. Through our online retail business, we offer a broad range of price-competitive products, including furniture, home decor, bedding and bath, housewares, among other products. We sell our products and services through our Internet websites located at www.overstock.com, www.o.co and www.o.biz (referred to collectively as the "Website"). Although our three websites are located at different domain addresses, the technology and equipment and processes supporting the Website and the process of order fulfillment described herein are the same for all three websites. Our retail business initiatives are described in more detail below under "Our Retail Business".

Our Medici business initiatives seek to develop and advance the concepts of "Government as a Service" and a "Technology Stack for Civilization" by creating or fostering a set of products and solutions that leverage the transparency and immutability of blockchain technology to generate efficiencies and increase security and control in six areas of civilizational necessity: identity management, property rights and management, central banking and currencies, capital markets, supply chains and commerce, and voting systems. Our Medici business initiatives include our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medici Ventures, Inc. ("Medici Ventures"), which conducts the majority of its business through its majority-owned subsidiary tZERO Group, Inc. ("tZERO"), formerly tØ.com, Inc., a financial technology company pursuing potential financial applications of blockchain technologies as well as non-blockchain businesses. Medici Ventures currently holds minority equity interests in several technology companies whose focuses include the areas mentioned above. Our Medici business initiatives are described in more detail below under "Our Medici Business—Medici Ventures" and our tZERO business initiatives are described in more detail below under "Our Medici Business—tZERO".


We are considering a range of potential transactions, including a sale of our retail business and additional equity or debt financings. Our Board of Directors continually discusses a variety of potential strategic and financial options and other changes to our business, but has not approved or made any determination to consummate any strategic transaction, and may choose not to do so in the foreseeable future or at all.

Our company, based near Salt Lake City, Utah, was founded in 1997. We launched our initial website in March 1999 and were re-incorporated in Delaware in 2002. As used herein, "Overstock", "Overstock.com", "O.co", "the Company", "we," "our" and similar terms include Overstock.com, Inc. and our majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Our Retail Business

Our online retail business through March 31, 2019, generated nearly all of our net revenues. In our retail business, our goal isseeks to provide goods to furnish and accessorize "dream homes" for our target customers—consumers who seek quality, stylish merchandise at bargain prices. At March 31, 2019, we offered 4.9 million products (8.9 million SKUs), of which over 99% were in-line products (products in active production), including more than 25,000 private label products offered under eleven private label brands. We believe that the furniture and home goods market, which

is highly fragmented and has traditionally been served by brick and mortar stores, will continue transitioning to online sales, particularly as Millennial consumers (defined(which we define as those aged 20-36)21-37), who are generally comfortable shopping online, start families and move into new homes. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting state and local government mandates of home confinement and closure of many brick-and-mortar stores, we have seen strong trends to online sales as consumers migrate to online shopping. We regularly change our product assortment to meet the evolving preferences of our customers and current trends. Our products include, among others, furniture, home décor including rugs, bedding and bath, home improvement, and kitchen items. We compete primarily based on:

Quality customer experience with an emphasis on price, value,sell our products and a wide assortment of products delivered in a personalized format withservices through our Internet websites located at www.overstock.com, www.o.co and www.o.biz (referred to collectively as the convenience of our mobile app, and with the benefits of our award-winning customer care;
Proprietary technologies which we believe help us provide our customers with a quality shopping experience;
Logistics capabilities tailored to the furniture and home goods category and developed over our many years of e-commerce experience;
Long-term mutually beneficial relationships with our partners, which currently number approximately 4,000; and
Our Club O Loyalty Program, which we believe increases customer engagement and retention.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, nearly"Website"). Nearly all our retail sales through our Website were from transactions in which we fulfilled orders through our network of approximately 4,000 third-party manufacturers, distributors and other suppliers ("partners") selling on our Website. Our use of the term "partner" does not mean that we have formed any legal partnerships with any of our retail partners. We provide our partners with access to a large customer base and convenient services for order fulfillment, customer service, returns handling, and other services. Our supply chain allows us to ship directly to our customers from our suppliers or from our warehouses. Our retail sales also includes direct sales of our own inventory shipped from our warehouses, including some customer returns of partner products.

During the quarters ended March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 our sales were almost entirely to customers located in the United States and no single customer accounted for more than 1% of our total net revenue.

Additional Offerings

We offer additional products or services that may complement our primary retail offerings, but are not significant to our retail revenues. These include:

Our international business where we offer products to customers outside the United States using third party logistics providers;
Worldstock Fair Trade, a store within our Website that offers handcrafted products made by artisans all over the world to help improve the lives of people in emerging economies;
Pet Adoptions, a free service and portal within our Website that leverages our technology to display pets available for adoption from shelters across the United States;
Overstock Hotels, portal within our Website that enables customers to search and book hundreds of thousands of properties worldwide, including big box brands, modern boutiques, and more;

Supplier Oasis, a single integration point through which our partners can manage their products, inventory and sales channels, and also obtain multi-channel fulfillment services through our distribution network; and
Businesses advertising products or services on our Website.

Our Retail revenues are seasonal, with revenues historically being the highest in the fourth quarter, which ends December 31, reflecting higher consumer holiday spending. While we had lower sales volume during Q4 2018, we anticipate the trend of higher sales volume during our fourth quarter to continue for the foreseeable future. To the extent possible we maintain supplier relationships and seek new supplier relationships for our retail businesses.

Our Medici Ventures Business

Our Medici business initiatives include our wholly-owned subsidiary, Medici Ventures,

Inc. ("Medici Ventures"), which conducts the majority of its business through its majority-owned subsidiary tZERO Group, Inc. ("tZERO").

Medici Ventures has aVentures' team of approximately 37 software engineers, developers and other technologists who work in blockchain development and deployment and enterprise level software development and deployment. Medici Ventures provides the services of some of its software engineers, developers, or other technologists to other blockchain companies. Medici Ventures also owns strategic minority equity interests in several blockchain-related companies, each of which focuses on at least one of the Government as a Service areas mentioned above. Medici Ventures takes an active interest in and holds seats on the boards of some of these companies. These companies include technology companies whose focuses include commercial blockchain applications for identity and social media, property and land, money and banking, capital markets, supply chain, and voting. All of the companies in which Medici Ventures holds strategic equity interests are startup businesses, businesses in the development stage, or businesses with a short operating history.

tZERO is a financial technology company pursuing potentialinitiatives to develop and commercialize financial applications of blockchain technologies. tZERO's primary focus is on the development and adoption of digital securities. tZERO focuses on developing the supply side of this marketplace by creating, marketing and licensing a suite of technologies (the "tZERO Technology Stack") that enables issuers to issue, and relevant regulated market participants to support the issuance, trading, clearance and settlement of digital securities. Throughout this report we refer to "digital securities" which are conventional uncertificated securities where the issuer arranges for a digital "courtesy carbon copy" of the transfer agent's share registry to be viewable on the blockchain and may also be referred to as "digitally-enhanced securities".
tZERO also supports the demand for and adoption of such assets by developing the tZERO Technology Stack for use by regulated venues on which those digital securities can trade, as well as non-blockchain businesses. tZERO’s primary focus at present is oninvesting in subsidiaries and joint venture entities that own and operate such trading venues. These investments include the alternative trading system (the "tZERO ATS") run by its recent launch ofwholly-owned subsidiary, tZERO ATS, LLC, which provides a facilitylicensed venue for matching buy and sell orders to its broker-dealer subscribers, including for the trading of digital securities, tokens and on its joint venture with BOX Digital Markets LLC ("BOX Digital"), intended to develop a U.S. national securities exchange (the "Exchange")facility with regulatory approvals enabling it to support trading in a type of digital security called a security token.

Strategies for our Retail Business

Our Retail business initiatives enable our long-term focus on our three brand pillars, "Product Findability," "Smart Value," and "Easy Delivery and Support." Initiatives for the Retail business include:

Improve Mobile Experience - As more website visitors move to mobile, we are focusing on ensuring our mobile experience is fast, frictionless, and meets the unique needs of the mobile shopping journey. We believe an improved mobile experience improves product findability, conversion, search engine rankings, and organic traffic.

Overhaul Discounting and Pricing Experience - "Smart Value" is the central brand pillar of our value proposition. We believe clarifying our pricing and discounting experience allows customers to more confidently purchase at Overstock. Savvy shoppers expect a "smart deal," including saving through coupons, site sales, Club O rewards and financing. We have historically offered free shipping (over $45) but during the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to serve our customers during this challenging time, we are offering free shipping on everything to the continental U.S. We believe our net promoter score (NPS), repeat purchase rates and conversion will improve as we better optimize the mix of offers and clarify the pricing and discounting experience.

Real Time Performance and SKU Profitability - We are improving our ability to address site, assortment and pricing issues more quickly by enhancing our real-time visibility into site, category, and marketing channel performance. We believe this initiative allows us to improve margin by more quickly resolving site issues for an improved customer experience.

Expand Partner Sponsored Marketing - We are expanding the "Overstock Sponsored Product" program, a platform for our drop ship partners to promote their products to shoppers through a cost-per-click auction platform. In addition, we have implemented a marketing allowance program across our partner network. This marketing allowance program allows us to optimize the marketing promotion type, mix and on-sale assortment to better meet the needs of our target customer segments and adapt to seasonal relevance.

Strategies for our Medici Business

Medici Ventures' primary business focus continues to be accelerating adoption of blockchain technology to democratize capital, eliminate middlemen, and re-humanize commerce. Medici Ventures accomplishes this by doing the following:

Enable existing keiretsu companies to extend runway to profitability - The companies in Medici Ventures' keiretsu continue to release products into production. Medici Ventures supports its keiretsu companies by offering a variety of services including development, design, public relations services, and assistance in raising capital from third parties to extend the companies' runway to profitability.

Educate the public and policy makers on blockchain technologies - Medici Ventures works to increase general knowledge of blockchain technology, use cases, and corresponding value through speaking opportunities, article publication, policy maker outreach, and other public relations work.

Opportunistically approach future partnerships - Medici Ventures continues to review and seek out strategic opportunities to take ownership interests in seed-stage and startup companies that effectively use blockchain technology. This includes looking for companies that can effectively use Medici Ventures' enterprise-level technology development and design talent.

Strategies for our tZERO Business

tZERO is a financial technology company pursuing initiatives to develop and commercialize the financial applications of blockchain technologies. tZERO's primary initiatives currently consist of the following:

Additionally, tZERO is enhancing the tZERO Technology Stack to support third party issuance protocols in order to support securities which have been digitally enabled by other technology companies and is cultivating relationships with established investment banks to help prospective issuers raise capital, prior to tokenizing and trading on the tZERO ATS.

Enhance liquidity - tZERO ATS is focused on enhancing liquidity.

Create a world class trading experience - tZERO continues to identify, evaluateseek opportunities to enhance the tZERO Technology Stack and pursue various opportunitiesimprove investors' trading experience for strategic acquisitions or purchasesall types of interestsfinancial products. tZERO is working to add to the services and expertise it offers its customers. Subject to board approval, tZERO's management exercises substantial discretion in identifying appropriate strategic transactions and negotiating the terms of such transactions. Management's determinations are based on numerous financial, strategic and operational assumptions, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will proveallow digital securities to be true. Moreover,traded via mobile application. It is also developing further enhancements of tZERO Crypto's separate wallet and exchange services, such strategic transactions may failas ensuring it is accessible on a web platform. tZERO believes a world-class trading experience will be key to produce the benefits expected at the timeinvestors' adoption of digital securities and tZERO's acquisitions or purchases of interests.products and services.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The businesses, products,preparation of our financial statements requires that we make estimates and servicesjudgments. We base these on historical experience and on other assumptions that tZERO is pursuing or contemplating will require substantial additional funding, initially for technology development and regulatory compliance, as well as for working capital, marketing and sales, and other substantial costs of developing new products and businesses in emerging areas of technology. These costs have been and are expected to continuewe believe to be material, bothreasonable.

Sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue decreasedincreased from 17.3% to 9.1% in Q1 2019 as compared to 10.5% in Q1 2018,2020 primarily due to our return to our historical focus on operational efficiency as we have shifted away from our aggressive retail marketing strategy from early 2018.

Additional commentary related to Medici Ventures

We continue to seek opportunities for growthThe majority of Medici Ventures' business is its 80% interest in our retailtZERO, which is described below. The remaining business through ouractivities of Medici Ventures are focused on developing and advancing blockchain and financial technology initiatives, and through other means.technology. As a result of these initiatives, we willits business model of providing technical assistance to companies in which Medici Ventures owns an interest, as well as the early stage of development of the companies in which it owns interests, Medici Ventures has not yet generated material revenues. Medici Ventures intends to continue to incur additional expenses and may purchaseacquire strategic equity interests in blockchain-related companies, with a focus on companies to which Medici Ventures believes it can provide technical or make acquisitionsmanagerial assistance from time to time.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, our pre-tax income in our Medici Ventures business, excluding our loss in our tZERO business, was $5.9 million primarily as a result of other technologies or businesses. We anticipate that our initiatives may cause usa $10.7 million gain recognized on the deconsolidation of MLG; however, we expect to continue to incur significant losses in our Medici Ventures business during 2020.

Additional commentary related to tZERO

To date, tZERO has focused primarily on developing its blockchain businesses and exploring opportunities for novel financial applications of blockchain technology. tZERO does not yet have a stable customer base or backlog orders and has not yet generated any meaningful revenue from any commercially available applications of its blockchain initiatives. The businesses, products, and services that tZERO is pursuing or contemplating will require substantial additional funding, initially for technology development and regulatory compliance, as well as for working capital, marketing and sales, and other substantial costs of developing new products and businesses in emerging areas of technology. For the foreseeable future. Thesethree months ended March 31, 2020, our pre-tax loss in our tZERO business, excluding our loss in the non-tZERO portion of our Medici business, was $12.6 million, and we expect to continue to incur significant losses additional expenses, acquisitions or purchases may be material,in our tZERO business during 2020.

Additional commentary related to COVID-19

Overstock has responded well to the opportunities and coupledchallenges brought by COVID-19. In our retail business, customer demand has increased significantly, particularly in our key home furnishings categories. As a result, we have seen an increase in website traffic and new customers, and our retail sales have accelerated to over 120% year over year growth in April. Our online-only platform and partner network of more than 4,500 drop-ship facilities has allowed us to meet this surge in demand without significant operational disruption. However, we have faced challenges with existing marketing expense trends,increased volume through our customer service channels and potential strategic changeswith capacity issues from our shipping carriers. We have seen little interruption at tZERO and its subsidiaries, some of which have seen significantly increased trading activity due to market volatility. However, market depression, volatility, and delays in trading and capital raises pose some risk to tZERO going forward. Most of our Medici Ventures keiretsu companies have seen little disruption; some are working to solve some of the global problems exacerbated by this pandemic. All corporate staff is working remotely and we are hiring in key areas to support the growth we are seeing in our retail business. We are unsure of the duration of these impacts and how the evolving COVID-19 situation will affect our business may lead to increased consolidated losses in some periods, and to reduced liquidity. Additionally, we may recognize additional impairment charges from our ownership interests in other entities.the future.

The 17%approximately 4% decrease in total net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, as compared to the same period in 2018,2019, was primarily due to decreased retail product sales resulting from a significant reduction2% decrease in customer orders, and an increase in deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in tZERO revenue mostly attributable to SpeedRoute trading revenue. Retail product sales and marketing expenses as partnew customer growth accelerated significantly at the end of March aligning to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the timing of this customer activity and in accordance with our effort to return to retail profitability. In January 2018,revenue recognition policy, a portion of revenue will be recognized in Q2 when products were delivered. While we shiftedhave observed this recent acceleration of demand for our retail strategy to aggressively pursue revenue growth and new customers with a large increase in sales and marketing expenses. We discontinued this strategy in August 2018 and have now returned to a disciplined approach to marketing.

We continue to seek increased participation in our Club O loyalty program, including, in certain instances, by increasing Club O Rewards to our Club O members in lieu of coupons we offer to all customers. For additional information

The products and product linesresulting sales, we offer, and their respective percentages ofcannot estimate the impact that COVID-19 will have on our revenue, are based on many factors including customer demand, our marketing efforts, promotional pricing, joint-marketing offered by our suppliers,business in the types of inventory we are able to obtain and the number of SKUs we offer. These factors change frequently and can affect the mix of the product lines we sell. We have experienced a trend toward our home and garden category in recent years and we have recently focused our marketing and branding efforts towards our home and garden product line. We are also working to increase the number of SKUs we offer. While we do not currently expect any material shifts in our product line mix, the relative amounts of the product lines we sell and the revenue we earn from those product lines are generally an economic result of the factors described above, which may change from time to time.future.

Change in estimate of average transit times (days)
 
RevenueOur retail revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized upon delivery to our customers. As we ship high volumes of packages through multiple carriers, it is not practical for us to track the actual delivery date of each shipment. Therefore, we use estimates to determine which shipments are delivered and, therefore, recognized as revenue at the end of the period. Our delivery date estimates are based on average shipping transit times. We review and update our estimates on a quarterly basis based on our actual transit time experience. However, actual shipping times may differ from our estimates.estimates, which can be further impacted by uncertainty, volatility, and any disruption to our carriers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fulfillment costs

Fulfillment costs include all warehousing costs, including fixed overhead and variable handling costs (excluding packaging costs), as well as credit card fees and customer service costs, all of which we include as costs in calculating gross margin. We believe that some companies in our industry, including some of our competitors, account for fulfillment costs within operating expenses, and therefore exclude fulfillment costs from gross margin. As a result, our gross margin may not be directly comparable to others in our industry.

Sales and marketing expenses

We use a variety of methods to target our consumer audience, including online campaigns, such as advertising through keywords, product listing ads, display ads, search engines, affiliate marketing programs, social coupon websites, portals, banners, e-mail, direct mail and viral and social media campaigns. We also do brand advertising through television, radio, print ads, and event sponsorships.

Costs associated with our discounted shipping and other promotions, such as coupons, are not included in sales and marketing expense. Rather, they are accounted for as a reduction in revenue as they reduce the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for goods or services and therefore affect net revenues and gross margin. We consider discounted shipping and other promotions, such as our policy ofpolicies for free shipping on orders (historically we have offered free shipping on orders over $45 and currently offer free shipping on everything to the continental U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic), as an effective marketing tool, and intend to continue to offer them as we deem appropriate as part of our overall marketing plan.

Other income (expense), net

Other expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $6.3 million2020, as compared to $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increasesame period in 2019, was primarily due to a $6.4$10.7 million increasegain recognized on the deconsolidation of the Medici Land Governance business and a $2.6 million decrease in non-cash losses on equity holdings and other assets.

Income taxes

Our income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, for relevant interim periods. We update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate each quarter and make cumulative adjustments if our estimated annual effective tax rate changes.


Table of Contents



Our quarterly tax provision and our quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variations due to several factors including variability in predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and the mix of jurisdictions to which those items relate, relative changes in expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized, how we do business, fluctuations in our stock price, and changes in laws, regulations, and administrative practices. Our effective tax rate can be volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income. For example, the impact of discrete items on our effective tax rate is greater when pre-tax income is lower.

Our expense/(benefit) fromexpense for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $176,000 and 2018 was $878,000, and $(277,000).respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was (2.1)(0.9)% and 0.5%(2.1)%, respectively. Our low effective tax rate is primarily attributable to the valuation allowance we are maintaining on our net deferred tax assets.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCR Act), enacted on March 18, 2020, and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), enacted on March 27, 2020, each contain numerous income tax provisions, such as relaxing limitations on the deductibility of interest and the use of net operating losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. We accounted for the change in tax laws in the period enacted, which did not have a measurable impact to our provision for income taxes.
 
We have indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings of $1.5$2.7 million at March 31, 2019.2020. We would need to accrue and pay various taxes on this amount if repatriated. We do not intend to repatriate these earnings.


We are subject to taxation in the United States and several state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax years beginning in 20142015 are subject to examination by taxing authorities, although net operating loss and credit carryforwards from all years are subject to examinations and adjustments for at least three years following the year in which the attributes are used. We are under audit by the Ireland Revenue Agency for the calendar year 2016.

Each quarter we assess the recoverabilityFor additional information see Item 1 of our deferred tax assets under ASC 740. We assess the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether we will generate sufficient future taxable income to use our existing deferred tax assets. We have limited carryback ability and do not have significant taxable temporary differences to recover our existing deferred tax assets, therefore we must rely on future taxable income, including tax planning strategies, to support their realizability. We have established a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets not supported by carryback ability or taxable temporary differences, primarily due to uncertainty regarding our future taxable income. We have considered, among other things, the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended March 31, 2019 as a significant piece of objective negative evidence. We intend to continue maintaining a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as long-term projections for growth. We will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance against our remaining deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis.

Seasonality

Based upon our historical experience, revenue typically increases during the fourth quarter because of the holiday retail season and gross margin decreases due to increased sales of certain lower margin products, such as electronics. While we had lower sales volume during the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to the comparable period in 2017, we anticipate the trend of higher sales volume during our fourth quarter to continue for the foreseeable future. Revenue typically decreases in the following quarter(s), as shown in the table below. The actual quarterly results for each quarter could differ materially depending upon consumer preferences, availability of product and competition, among other risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that seasonal variations will not materially affect our results of operations in the future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview

We are proactively seeking opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and are considering a comprehensive set of actions to do so. During the latter end of 2018 we began taking and continue to take significant steps to realize internal cost savings, including staff reductions and process streamlining. Additionally, we intend to further reduce costs in future periods. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. During the period of uncertainty and volatility related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have presumed for forecasting purposes that our recent revenue growth rates experienced during the second half of March 2020 and through April 2020 will not continue at these levels for the foreseeable future as we believe these growth rates are driven in large part by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting state and local government mandates of home confinement and closure of many brick-and-mortar stores. We also believe thatcontinue to monitor, evaluate, and manage our operating plans, forecasts, and liquidity in light of the most recent developments driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. We proactively seek opportunities to improve the efficiency of our operations and have in the past and may in the future take steps to realize internal cost savings, including staff reductions and process streamlining. However, we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our strategies, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months. See "Strategies for our Retail Business", Strategies for our Medici Business", and "Strategies for our tZERO Business" above.

We have developedThe recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in the capital markets. It could make financing, including sales under our "at the market" public offering program with JonesTrading, more difficult and/or expensive and implemented initiatives within our retail business around improving our Club O rewards program primarily to increase member benefits and to develop additional personalization programs; improving our organic search engine rankings; additional distribution facilities to speed shipping and improve our customer service; additional automation, technology and engineering resources to improve our customers' shopping experience; and improving our private label initiative to generate significant brand equity and customer loyalty. We believe these initiatives will have significant long-term positive results; however, the expenditures will likely adversely affect our short-term results. See "Our Retail Business" above.


Our Medici initiatives also require substantial funding. Medici Ventures and its majority-owned subsidiary, tZERO, continue to identify, evaluate and pursue various opportunities for strategic acquisitions or purchases of interests to add to the services and expertise they offer their customers. See "Our Medici Business—Medici Ventures" and "Our Medici Business—tZERO" above.

Our ability to pursue some or all of these plans, and the extent to which we wouldmay not be able to pursue someobtain such financing on terms acceptable to us or allat all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of them, will depend onequity or debt outside of our "at the resources wemarket" public offerings of common stock, those securities may have available,rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and will require significantly more capital than we currently have.our stockholders may experience dilution.

Current sources of liquidity
 
Our principal sources of liquidity are existing cash and cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019,2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $119.6$141.3 million. Our ability to access the liquidity of our subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations and other factors.

As of the saleseffective date of the amended agreement, and have received $134.5April 9, 2020, we had $80.0 million in proceeds, net of $3.1 million of offering costs, including commissions paid to JonesTrading. During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we sold shares of common stock for $39.9 million, net of offering expenses (including commissions). The average gross price per share of stock sold pursuant to the sales agreement during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $18.25. We sold the remaining capacity under the sales agreement with JonesTrading (745,737 shares) the first week in April 2019, raising additional gross proceeds of $12.4 million. As a result, no additional shares are currently available under our "at the market" sales agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to replace, extend, or modify this facility on acceptable terms in a timely manner or at all.
Contemplated Financing Transactionsprogram.

In August 2018, Overstock signedMarch 2020, we entered into two loan agreements with Loan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC that provided us with additional liquidity at the end of the first quarter as we continue to operate in a Token Purchase Agreement with GSR Capital Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("GSR"), and a term sheet contemplating a sale of Overstock common stock to GSR. The Token Purchase Agreement sets forth the terms on which GSR agreed to purchase, for $30 million, on May 6, 2019 or such other date as may be agreedbusiness landscape impacted by the parties, security tokens at a price of $6.67 per security token. On May 8, 2019, the parties agreed to replace the Token Purchase Agreement with an Investment Agreement under which GSR purchased 508,710 shares of tZERO which represents approximately 0.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of tZERO. In exchange, GSR agreed to transfer to tZERO a total $5.0 million in consideration, consisting of $1.0 million U.S. dollars, $1.0 million U.S. dollars' worth of Chinese Renminbi, and securities traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a market value of $3.0 million U.S. dollars.COVID-19 pandemic. See "Borrowings" below.
    
The previously-announced memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) in which GSR and Makara Capital ("Makara") would co-lead an investment of up to $100 million in tZERO common stock did not close in April as previously expected. However, we remain in discussions with Makara and GSR and if a definitive agreement is reached, the terms, including the amount purchased, number of shares, and/or post money valuation of tZERO, may be less favorable than the terms contemplated under the MOU. There can be no assurance that tZERO, GSR, or Makara will enter into a definitive agreement regarding the proposed transaction in the near-term, or at all, or that it will be on terms set forth in the MOU, including the amount of the investment or post-money valuation.


Cash flows from operating activities
 
Our operating cash flows result primarily from cash received from our customers, offset by cash payments we make for employee compensation (less amounts capitalized related to internal-use software that are reflected as cash used in investing activities), and changes in working capital and other related activities. Working capital at any specific point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory management, expansion efforts, the timing of cash receipts and payments, and vendor payment terms. Cash received from customers generally corresponds to our net revenues as our customers primarily use credit cards to buy from us causing our receivables from these sales transactions to settle quickly. We have payment terms with our partners that generally extend beyond the amount of time necessary to collect proceeds from our customers. As a result followingof the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw our typically seasonally strong fourth quarterretail product sales accelerate at December 31the end of each year,March as customers turned to online shopping which caused our cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable balances to increase compared to year-end. However, due to the timing of this activity, much of the retail product sales and payments to our suppliers for those sales have been deferred into the second quarter of 2020 when the products were delivered and payments ultimately became due, which resulted in an increase in our deferred revenue balance as of March 31, 2020 and a lower decline in our accounts payable and accrued liability balances normally reach their highest level (other than as a resultbalance from year-end.

The $12.2 million of net cash flows provided by or used in investingoperating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $19.6 million, cash used by operating assets and financing activities).liabilities of $1.7 million, and the non-cash gain on the disposal of business of $10.7 million, partially offset by certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense, and non-cash operating lease costs of $9.2 million, stock-based compensation of $3.3 million, and losses recognized on equity method securities of $2.5 million.

The $51.4 million of net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $42.9 million decreases in accounts payables of $28.0 million, accruedand cash used by operating assets and liabilities of $7.0$29.3 million and deferred revenues of $10.6 million primarily due to lower sales volume during the first quarter of 2019 which were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $14.1 million,certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense of $8.1 million, stock-based compensation of $4.0 million, and net losses recognized on equity securities of $5.6 million.

The $10.2 million of net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily due to consolidated net loss of $54.5 million, offset by increases in accrued liabilities of $9.3 million and accounts payable of $4.3 million, decrease in accounts receivable of $8.3 million, depreciation expense of $6.6 million, and stock-based compensation of $6.4 million. Accrued liabilities increased due to the increase in marketing expense as a result of our initiative to drive revenue growth with significant marketing efforts in early 2018 and ending in early August 2018. Accounts payable increased due to the revenue growth during 2018.

Notwithstanding our current negative cash flows from operating activities, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to continue operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we also believe that we may need to raise additional capital and/or obtain significant additional debt financing to be able to fully pursue some or all of our plans, including plans for our retail business while also funding our Medici initiatives, beyond the next twelve months.

Cash flows from investing activities
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, investing activities resulted in a net cash outflow of $6.0 million, primarily due to $4.1 million in cash outflow from the deconsolidation of MLG's net assets and $3.6 million of expenditures for property and equipment, partially offset by $2.2 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, investing activities resulted in a net cash inflowsinflow of $1.8 million primarily due to $5.5 million sale of equity securities and $4.9 million of cash acquired through a business combination that was funded at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018 but closed in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by $4.1 million of expenditures for property and equipment, $2.5 million investment in equity securities, and $2.0 million disbursement of notes receivable.

The timing of the resolution of income tax contingencies is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ from the amounts accrued. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will receive additional assessments by various tax authorities. These assessments may or may not result in changes to our contingencies related to positions on prior years' tax filings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2020, we had a $5 million contractual off-balance sheet contingent obligation to provide additional funding in the future to our BSTX joint venture if and when, during the first 48 months after the establishment of the entity, the aggregate cash balance of BSTX's combined bank accounts fall below $2 million for any reason. Such obligation has not been accrued for nor included in the table above as the timing of the resolution of the contingency and payment of such obligation is not determinable as of the balance sheet date. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents currently on hand and expected cash flows from future operations will be sufficient to meet this obligation if and when the contingent obligation is triggered and payment becomes due.

We do not have any other off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that would be material to investors.

Our retail business is subject to general business regulations and laws, as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the Internet, e-commerce, and other services we offer. Existing and future laws and regulations may result in increasing expense and may impede our growth. Applicable and potentially applicable regulations and laws include regulations and laws regarding taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic device certification, electronic waste, energy consumption, environmental regulation, electronic contracts and other communications, competition, consumer protection, employment, import and export matters, information reporting requirements, access to our services and facilities, the design and operation of websites, health and sanitation standards, the characteristics and quality of products and services, product labeling and unfair and deceptive trade practices.

Blockchain and distributed ledger platforms are recent technological innovations, and the regulation of securities tokens and otherpeer-to-peer digital assets and conventional securities, insofar as blockchain technologies are applied to conventional securities, is developing. In the U.S., the businesses that we are working to develop are or may be subject to a wide variety of complex statutes and rules, most of which were implemented prior to the development of these technologies, and it is sometimes unclear whether or how various statutes or regulations apply.

The Token Trading System launchedIn addition, tZERO Markets has applied for and is in January 2019the process of seeking regulatory approvals to operate as a broker-dealer in a variety of areas, including retail activities. If approval is granted, tZERO Markets will become a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act and a member of FINRA and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation and will be subject to regulation, examination, investigation and disciplinary action by the SEC, FINRA and state securities regulators, as well as other governmental authorities and self-regulatory organizations with which it becomes registered or affected by numerous lawslicensed or of which it becomes a member. As a result of the services which tZERO Markets is seeking regulatory approval to provide, including servicing retail investors, a number of these legal and regulations.

BOX Exchange LLC filed an amendment to the proposal on December 26, 2019, and the SEC again extended the review period on January 16, 2020 to April 15, 2020. A subsequent amendment was filed by BOX Exchange LLC on February 19, 2020, after which the SEC extended the review period on April 14, 2020 until June 14, 2020.

Other Factors that May Affect Future ResultsContents

We periodically evaluate opportunities to repurchase our equity securities, obtain credit facilities, or issue additional debt or equity securities. In addition, we may, from time to time, consider the investment in, or acquisition of, complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies, any of which might affect our liquidity requirements or cause us to issue additional debt or equity securities. There can be no assurance that financing arrangements will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our future results may be significantly different from our historical results for several other reasons as well, including the possibility discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we may sell our retail business, which would have a dramatic effect on our future results. Other reasons that our future results may be significantly different from our historical results include the potential effects on us of the accounting and tax changes discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other reasons described in Item 1. "Business" under "Our Retail Business" and "Our Medici Business", as well as the risk factors described in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report.

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Investors should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in this Form 10-Q, including the risks described in Item 1A of Part II, "Risk Factors" of this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," and all other information in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC including those we file after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also become important factors that may harm our business. The occurrence of any of the risks described under "Risk Factors" in this report or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 could harm our business. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks and uncertainties, and investors may lose part or all of their investment.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our financial instruments consistWe are exposed to market risk for the effect of interest rate changes, foreign currency fluctuations, and changes in the market values of our investments. Information relating to quantitative and qualitative disclosures about these market risks is set forth below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents trade accounts and contracts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term obligations. We consider highly-liquid(highly-liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less at the

date of purchasepurchase) would not be significantly affected by either an increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to be cash equivalents. We currently do not hold any derivative financial instruments or foreign exchange contracts.the short-term nature of these instruments.

Our exposure to marketLoan Core Capital Funding Corporation LLC loan agreements carry a fixed blended annual interest rate of 4.45%. Since the Notes bear interest at a fixed rate, we have no direct financial statement risk forassociated with changes in interest rates relates primarilyrates.

Foreign Currency Risk

Most of our sales and operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our total revenue and operating expenses are not currently subject to our short-term investments and short-term obligations; thus, fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities. However, thesignificant foreign currency risk.

Investment Risk

The fair values of our investmentsmarketable and equity securities may be subject to fluctuations due to volatility of the stock market in general, investment-specific circumstances, and changes in general economic conditions.

Volatile market conditions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic may result in significant changes in the value of our marketable and equity securities. At March 31, 2019, we had $119.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $1.2 million on our earnings or loss, or the cash flows of these instruments.

At March 31, 2019, letters of credit totaling $280,000 were outstanding under collateralized compensating cash balances held at our bank. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in interest rates of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $2,800 on our earnings or loss if the letters of credit were fully drawn.

At March 31, 2019, we had cryptocurrency-denominated assets totaling $2.1 million. Hypothetically, an increase or decrease in the market value of one hundred basis points would have an estimated impact of $21,000 on our earnings or loss, or the recorded value of these instruments. It is generally not our policy to hold material amounts of cryptocurrency because of volatility and market risk.

At March 31, 2019,2020, our recorded value in marketable and equity securities in public and private companies was $48.5 million. Our equity securities in$57.7 million, of which $4.3 million relates to publicly traded companies, represent $2.0 million of our equity securities as of March 31, 2019, and are recorded at fair value, which isare subject to market price volatility. We perform a qualitative assessment for our equity securities in private companies to identify impairment. If this assessment indicates that an impairment exists, we estimate the fair value of the investmentequity security and, if the fair value is less than carrying value, we write down the investmentequity security to fair value. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investeeequity securities, and other publicly available data. Valuations of private companies are inherently more complex due to the lack of readily available market data. As such, we believe that market sensitivities are not practicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer 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 Commission's rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


During the three-months ended March 31, 2019, we implemented ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). In connection with its adoption, we implemented changes to our processesLimitations on Disclosure Controls and internal control activities over financial reporting to ensure compliance with the new accounting and disclosure rules.

Except for the preceding changes, there has not occurred any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Procedures
    
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Changes in Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in either our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our corporate employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
TheFrom time to time, we are involved in, or become subject to litigation or other legal proceedings concerning consumer protection, employment, intellectual property, claims under the securities laws, and other commercial matters related to the conduct and operation of our business and the sale of products on our Website. We also prosecute lawsuits to enforce our legal rights. In connection with such litigation or other legal proceedings, we have been in the past and we may be in the future subject to significant damages, associated costs, or equitable remedies relating to the operation of our business. Such litigation could be costly and time consuming and could divert or distract our management and key personnel from our business operations. Due to the uncertainty of litigation and depending on the amount and the timing, an unfavorable resolution of some or all of such matters could materially affect our business, results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. For additional details, see the information set forth under Item 1 of Part I, "Financial Statements "—Note 7—6—"Commitments and Contingencies," subheading "Legal Proceedings and Contingencies," contained in the "Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by reference in answer to this Item.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

ThereAny investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Please consider the following risk factors carefully. If any one or more of the following risks were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities could decrease significantly. Statements below to the effect that an event could or would harm our business (or have an adverse effect on our business or similar statements) mean that the event could or would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, which in turn could or would have a material adverse effect on the market price of our securities. Many of the risks we face involve more than one type of risk. Consequently, you should read all of the risk factors below carefully, as well as the risk factors described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in any reports we file with the SEC after we file this Form 10-Q, before deciding whether to purchase or hold our securities. The occurrence of any of these risks could harm our business, the trading price of our securities could decline, and investors could lose part or all of their investment.

Other than the risk factors set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

The resumption of normal business operations after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may be delayed or constrained by its lingering effects on our partners, consumers, suppliers or third-party service providers.

Any of the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including those described below, alone or in combination with others, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Any of these negative impacts, alone or in combination with others, could exacerbate many of the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A - "Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

The duration and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic might impact our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. This widespread health crisis has profoundly and adversely affected the world economy, employment levels, and financial markets. The duration and extent of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic is currently unknown and difficult to predict, but could result in a loss of workforce, including key personnel, due to adverse health effects of the disease, a lack of consumer demand for the services and products we and our subsidiaries offer, and an inability to operate our warehouses or other key locations at full capacity, and could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Increased regulations relating to, or arising as a result of, COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Foreign, state and local governments have enacted certain regulations relating to COVID-19, which include but are not limited to regulations on pricing and shipment of goods. So called "price gouging" regulations vary from state to state and seek

Table of Contents



to limit the amount by which a price can be increased for certain items. Similarly, certain regulations have been enacted to restrict or limit the shipment of non-essential items in the wake of COVID-19. It is difficult to predict the impact these and other regulations, including both current and future regulations, relating to, or arising as a result of, COVID-19 might have on us and our subsidiaries. If we are unable to both meet consumer demand and comply with such regulations, our reputation could be damaged and we could be exposed to liabilities, penalties, and fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Tariffs, the spread of illness, including COVID-19, or other governmental measures or events that increase the effective price of products or limit our ability to access or deliver products we or our suppliers or fulfillment partners import into the United States or otherwise source could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We and many of our suppliers and fulfillment partners source a large percentage of the products we offer on our Website from China and other countries. The United States imposed tariffs on goods from China in 2019 which adversely impacted our revenues. If the United States imposes additional tariffs, or if a disease or illness such as COVID-19 spreads and such measures or events directly or indirectly increase the price of imported products sold on our Website, limit the ability for us or our suppliers and fulfillment partners to source products, limit our ability to access products sold on our Website, or limit or interfere with the timely transportation or delivery of products on our Website, the increased prices and/or supply chain challenges could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business and prospects. Further, the broader global effects of potentially reduced consumer confidence and spending related to COVID-19 could also have a negative effect on our overall business. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business is uncertain. 
The spread of COVID-19 could have technology and security consequences and could negatively impact our operations.
We have facilities located in Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Utah, and Ireland. We also have contractors located in India, who assist us when customer service needs arise outside of our business hours or when customer service needs exceed a certain volume. Our employees and contractors working in those facilities may be at risk for exposure to and for contracting COVID-19. Known cases of COVID-19 have been reported in these regions. The spread of COVID-19 in these locations may result in our employees and contractors being forced to work remotely or missing work if they or a member of their family contract COVID-19. Additional risks are inherent when employees and contractors work remotely, including risks that third-party internet and phone service providers may not provide adequate services for employees and contractors to perform their responsibilities, risks that hardware, software, or other technological problems or failures could prevent employees or contractors from performing their responsibilities and could take an excessive amount of time to resolve and risks that employees and contractors may not be trained as effectively or monitored as closely from remote locations, creating greater risks for the security of confidential information. Any such occurrences could have a material negative impact on the business. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business is uncertain. 

We may be required to recognize impairments losses or allowances for bad debt relating to our equity interests in or creditor relationships with startup businesses.

We hold minority interests and promissory notes in several companies that are in the startup or development stages and we may acquire additional minority interests in other entities in the future. Minority interests are inherently risky because we may not have the ability to influence business decisions. Further, these interests are inherently risky because the markets for the technologies or products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages, unproven, and may never materialize. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause these companies to abandon, modify, or alter their product and service mix and overall strategy. Additionally, since these interests are in companies that are in the early startup or development stages, even if their technology or products are viable, they may not be able to obtain the capital or resources necessary to successfully bring their technology or products to market. Furthermore, the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may limit the ability for these entities to raise capital in the future. Furthermore, we have no assurance that the technology or products of companies we have funded would be successful, even if they were brought to market. We have previously recognized impairment losses or made allowances for bad debt related to these equity interests and may in the future recognize additional impairment losses or make allowances for bad debt related to these interests. Any such impairment losses or allowances for bad debt could be material and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business.

tZERO may be adversely affected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The potential negative impacts of COVID-19 and its related political and economic responses on tZERO may include increased stress on tZERO's broker-dealer subsidiaries' and tZERO Crypto's technology due to increased trading volatility and volume which they have and are expected to continue to experience and increases in attempted cyber-attacks or a decrease in worker productivity as a result of remote work. Further, the global economic impacts of COVID-19 could also negatively affect

Table of Contents



tZERO's business. Such impacts may include a reduced willingness by potential securities issuers to pursue capital raising transactions or seek secondary liquidity for existing capital (thereby reducing tZERO's ability to commercialize the tZERO Technology Stack), shift in attention by regulators and other market participants from regulatory innovation initiatives, decreased interest by third-party broker-dealers in subscribing to the tZERO ATS or a decline in investor appetite or available capital for trading in securities, including securities that use the tZERO Technology Stack and trade on the tZERO ATS, or bearer digital assets such as cryptocurrencies.
Additionally, certain tZERO management and employees have, and in the future others may, contract COVID-19. This may contribute to a disruption in tZERO's ordinary business activities and slow development of tZERO's products and technology and may be particularly pronounced in the event of the death or extended incapacity of any officer or employee performing a key function. 
At this point, while the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse impact on tZERO's operations, the extent, duration and nature of such impacts remain uncertain.

Limitations upon the payment of dividends

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any earnings for future growth and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial conditions, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors the board of directors deems relevant.

In December 2016, we issued a total of 695,898 shares of our preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), of which 481,259 shares remained outstanding at March 31, 2019. The Preferred Stock ranks senior to our common stock with respect to dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to an annual cash dividend of $0.16 per share, in preference to any dividend payment to the holders of the common stock, out of funds legally available for payment of dividends and subject to declaration by our Board of Directors. Holders of the Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in any cash dividends we pay to the holders of the common stock and are also entitled to participate in non-cash dividends we pay to holders of the common stock, subject to potentially different treatment if we effect a stock dividend, stock split or combination of the common stock. There are no arrearages in cumulative preferred dividends. We declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.16 per share on our preferred stock during 2017 and 2018.None.
