The Company designs and manufactures a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Company showrooms, and third-party online retailers and its Company factory outlet and showrooms.retailers.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of Global Partnership Acquisition Corp (“GPAC”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses.. On February 2, 2018, the Company consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”). At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company became the sole managing member of Purple LLC, and GPAC was renamed Purple Innovation, Inc.

As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member, unless specified in the amended operating agreement.member.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. Pursuant to the Business Combination described in Note 3—Business Combination, Purple Inc. acquired approximately 18% of the common units of Purple LLC, while InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”) retained approximately 82% of the common units in Purple LLC. As of June 30, 2020,2021, Purple Inc. held approximately 68%99% of the common units of Purple LLC and InnoHold and other Purple LLC Class B Unit holders held approximately 32%1% of the common units in Purple LLC.

The Business Combination was structured similar to a reverse recapitalization. The historical operations of Purple LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Purple LLC prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Purple LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for all periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2020 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A filed March 9, 2020.May 10, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20202021 or for any other interim period or other future year.

COVID-19 Pandemic Developments

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of our operations, directly and indirectly, including disruption of our employees, consumer behavior, distribution and logistics, our suppliers, andOn December 31, 2020, the market overall. The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of precautionary measures to manage our resources and mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic, which is intended to help minimize the risk to our Company employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Employees at the Company’s headquarters and certain other employees have been asked to work from home where possible, with only limited access given to employees to work in the office when necessary. For roles that require employeesceased to be on-site, such as our manufacturing facilityan emerging growth company (“EGC”) and distribution center, we are providing protective equipment, practicing social distancing and increasing sanitizing standards.

Despite the ongoing challenges from COVID-19, the Company has been ablepublic companies. As an EGC prior to capitalize on the opportunities created by this situation. We continuedate, Purple Inc. had elected to serve our customers through our Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) channel, which has remained strong throughout the quarter as consumer demand for our premium, differentiated product offerings shifted to our DTC channel. We continue to focus our efforts in our DTC core competencies resulting in a continued acceleration in DTC channel sales across all of our product categories throughout the quarter. This increase in demand was a contributing factor to DTC net revenue growth of 128% over the prior year second quarter. There can be no assurance that this trend of increased demand through our DTC channel will continue. We initially experienced a sharp decline in the wholesale side of our business as temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses and shelter-at-home directives occurred in most U.S. states. As the shutdowns were lifted and stores began to open again, demand through the wholesale channel increased. In addition, we were able to re-open our three Company showrooms in California in June 2020, one of which subsequently closed again in July 2020 in compliance with local orders.

This increase in DTC and Wholesale demand allowed us to work through a portion of our on-hand inventory and required us to ramp up production. We continue to take advantage of our vertically integrated business model to adjust production schedules to leverage inventory on hand and tightly manage labor costs. We also continue to dynamically adjust our significant discretionary online advertising spend in response to any changes in DTC trends as they develop.

Our supply chain has not been significantly affected by COVID-19. Currently, our domestic suppliers are able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed. Suppliers in China were temporarily closed as a result of the pandemic but we had sufficient inventory on hand. Many of our suppliers have resumed production and are able to supply materials as needed.

Although the Company has taken measures to protect the business, we cannot predict the specific duration for which these precautionary measures will stay in effect, and we may elect or need to take additional measures as the informationuse extended transition periods available to us continues to develop, includingprivate companies for complying with respect to our employees, manufacturing facility and distribution center, and relationships with our suppliers and customers. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government, consumer, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, ongoing cash generated from e-commerce and continuing resumption and ramp up of store operations and our wholesale business, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and our precautionary measures in response thereto may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be precisely predicted at this time.new or revised accounting standards.

Variable Interest Entities

Purple LLC is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of Purple LLC as it is the sole managing member and has the power to direct the activities most significant to Purple LLC’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits that are potentially significant. At June 30, 2020,2021, Purple Inc. had approximately a 68%99% economic interest in Purple LLC and consolidated 100% of Purple LLC’s assets, liabilities and results of operations in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein. At June 30, 2020, InnoHold and other parties ownedThe holders of Purple LLC Class B Units (the “Class B Units”) held approximately 32%1% of the economic interest in Purple LLC; however, InnoHold and other parties have disproportionally fewer voting rights, and are shown as the noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) holder of Purple LLC.

Leases

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, in addition to several amendments issued duringFebruary 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which required an entity to recognize lease liabilities and assets on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about an entity’s leasing arrangements. Because the Company ceased to be an EGC on December 31, 2020, the standard became effective for entities to use in accountingthe Company for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The Company adopted this ASU effectiveits annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2019 on a2020, and interim reporting periods within the annual period beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 842 and all related amendments using the modified retrospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes totransition approach effective for the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, orannual reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $27.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $33.0 million in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Pre-existing liabilities for deferred rent and various lease incentives totaling $5.1 million were reclassified to operating lease ROU assets in connection with the adoption. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position,consolidated results of operations or cash flows. As such,flows and had no impact on retained earnings. At January 1, 2020, the effective date of adoption, the Company’s finance ROU assets and lease liabilities were not material.

The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, a related lease liability is recorded on the balance sheet at the present value of future payments discounted at the estimated fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) corresponding with the lease term. In addition, a ROU asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received.

The Company calculates the present value of future payments using its incremental borrowing rate when the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company determines the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the rates of its secured borrowings, which is then adjusted for the appropriate lease term and risk premium. In determining the Company’s ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company did not record a cumulative adjustmentapplies these incremental borrowing rates to the opening equity balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. However, additional disclosures have been added in accordance with the requirements of Topic 606 and are reflected in Note 4 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers.minimum lease payments within each lease agreement.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant incentive allowances received from the lessor are amortized through the ROU asset as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Any variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets are assessed for impairment as part of the impairment of long-lived assets, which is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Revenue Recognition

The Company markets and sells its products through direct-to-consumer online channels, traditional wholesale partners, third-party online retailers, the Company factory outlet store and Company showrooms. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which is transferring the promised products to the customer. This principle is achieved in the following steps:

Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for the goods that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company does not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period of time. The performance obligations generally relate to delivering products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the goods, including “white glove” delivery services, as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good.goods. The Company does not offer extended warranty or service plans. The Company does not provide an option to its customers to purchase future products at a discount and therefore there are no material option rights.

Determine the transaction price. Payment for sale of products through the direct-to-consumer online channels and third-party online retailers is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. Amounts received for unshipped products are recorded as customer prepayments. Payment by traditional wholesale customers is due under customary fixed payment terms. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, volume rebates, and other adjustments. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical return experience, historical and projected sales data, and current contract terms. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer’s control at contractually stated pricing.

Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time upon either shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. With the exception of third-party “white glove” delivery and certain wholesale partners, revenue generated from product sales is recognized at shipping point, the point in time the customer obtains control of the products. Revenue generated from sales through third-party “white glove” delivery is recognized at the point in time when the product is delivered to the customer. Revenue generated from certain wholesale partners is recognized at a point in time when the product is delivered to the wholesale partner’s warehouse. The Company does not have service revenue.

Liability Warrants

The Company accountsaccounted for its incremental loan warrants as liability warrants under the provisions of ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. ASC 480 requires the recording of certain liabilities at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of these liabilities are recognized in earnings. The Incremental Loan Warrants issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement containThese warrants contained a warrant repurchase provision which, upon an occurrence of a fundamental transaction as defined in the warrant agreement, could givehave given rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to the warrant holders. In addition, other provisions may requirehave led to a reduction in the exercise price of the warrants to be reduced.warrants. The Company has determined that the fundamental transaction provisions requirerequired the warrants to be accounted for as a liability at fair value on the date of the transaction, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.earnings in the period of change. The Company usesused the Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model to determine the fair value of the liability. The model uses key assumptions and inputs such as exercise price, fair market value of common stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life, expected volatility and the probability of thea warrant re-price. ReferAll of the Incremental Loan warrants were exercised during fiscal 2020.

The Company accounted for its public warrants in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which these warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and were recorded as liabilities. Since the public warrants met the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, these warrants were measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company determined the fair value of the public warrants based on their public trading price. All of the public warrants were exercised during fiscal 2020.

The Company accounts for its sponsor warrants in accordance with ASC 815, under which these warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. Since the sponsor warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, these warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820 with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company uses the Black Scholes model to Note 9 – Warrant Liabilities.determine the fair value of the liability associated with the sponsor warrants. The model uses key assumptions and inputs such as exercise price, fair market value of common stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life and expected volatility. At June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the Company’s debt instrumentinstruments is estimated to be its face value based on the contractual terms of the debt instrumentarrangements and market-based expectations.

The public warrant liability is aliabilities are Level 1 instruments as they have quoted market prices in an active market. The sponsor and incremental loan warrant liabilities are Level 3 instrumentinstruments and uses anuse internal modelmodels to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Such inputs include risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility. These Level 3 liabilities wouldgenerally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities would generally increase (decrease) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease).

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Income Taxes

In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This differs from the method utilized at the end of an annual period.

For annual periods, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. Our effective tax rate is primarily impacted by the allocation of income taxes to the noncontrolling interest and changesthe non-taxable nature of the change in our valuation allowance.fair value of the warrant liability.

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions within the provision (benefit) for income taxestax benefit (expense) line in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of the second quarter of 2020, no uncertain tax positions have been recorded. The Company will continue to monitor this position each interim period.income.

The Company files U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns. The income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state taxing authorities for various time periods, depending on those jurisdictions’ rules, generally after the income tax returns are filed.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The two-class method of computing net income (loss) per share is required for entities that have participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income (loss) per share for participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s Class B Stock has no economic interest in the earnings of the Company, resulting in the two-class method not being applicable as of June 30, 2020 or in prior periods. Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net lossincome (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Stock”), outstanding each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share adds to those shares the incremental shares that would have been outstanding and potentially dilutive assuming exchanges of the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Stock”), for Class A Stock, and the vesting of unvested and restricted Class A Stock. An anti-dilutive impact isrepresents an increase in net income per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of certain securities.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU No. 2019-12)(“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidanceASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. EarlyThe adoption is permitted.

New Internal-Use Software Guidance

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350) (“ASU 2018-15”). The objective of ASU 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. WeBecause the Company lost its EGC status on December 31, 2020, the standard became effective for the Company for its annual period beginning January 1, 2020, and interim periods within the annual period beginning January 1, 2021. The Company elected to apply the amendments on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Measurement of Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs. This guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance and establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost based on expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses requires the incorporation of historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These updates are effective for public companies, excluding Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRC”), for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The standard is effective for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein. Since the Company was considered an SRC on the deferral date of this standard, the guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual financial periods beginning January 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13 is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and any other financial assets measured at amortized cost and do not expect thethat adoption of this standard towill have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit

On September 3, 2020, Purple LLC entered into a financing arrangement with KeyBank National Association and a group of financial institutions (the “2020 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement provides for a $45.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit.

The borrowing rates for the term loan are based on Purple LLC’s leverage ratio, as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement, and can range from LIBOR plus a 3.00% to 3.75% margin with a LIBOR minimum of 0.50%. The initial borrowing rate of 3.50% is based on LIBOR plus 3.00%. The term loan will be repaid in accordance with a five-year amortization schedule and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of certain costs. There may be mandatory prepayment obligations based on excess cash flow.

Pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement between Purple LLC, KeyBank and the Company (the “Security Agreement”), the 2020 Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in the assets of Purple LLC and the Company, including a security interest in all intellectual property. Also, the Company agreed to an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement contains a pledge, as security for the Company’s guaranty, of all its ownership interest in Purple LLC. The 2020 Credit Agreement also provides for standard events of default, such as for non-payment and failure to perform or observe covenants, and contains standard indemnifications benefitting the lenders.

The 2020 Credit Agreement includes representations, warranties and certain covenants of Purple LLC and the Company. While any amounts are outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement, Purple LLC is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants, subject to certain exceptions. In particular, Purple LLC is (i) subject to annual capital expenditure limits that can be adjusted based on the Company achieving certain net leverage ratio thresholds as provided in the 2020 Credit Agreement, (ii) restricted from incurring additional debt up to certain amounts, subject to limited exceptions, as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement, and (iii) maintain minimum consolidated net leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio thresholds at certain measurement dates (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement). Purple LLC is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions. If the Company or Purple LLC fail to perform their obligations under these and other covenants, or should any event of default occur, the revolving loan commitments under the 2020 Credit Agreement may be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, could be declared immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants related to the 2020 Credit Agreement.

The $55.0 million revolving credit facility established under the 2020 Credit Agreement has a term of five years and carries the same interest provisions as the term debt. A commitment fee is due quarterly based on the applicable margin applied to the unused total revolving commitment. The agreement for this revolving credit facility contains customary covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

The Company incurred $2.5 million in debt issuance costs for the 2020 Credit Agreement. These costs relate to the entire credit arrangement and therefore were allocated between the term loan and the revolving line of credit. The Company determined $1.1 million of the debt issuance costs related to the term debt and are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. This amount is being amortized into interest expense using an effective interest rate over the duration of the debt. The remaining $1.4 million of debt issuance costs were allocated to the revolving line of credit facility. This amount is classified as other assets and is being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the revolving credit facility.

(“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million.

The Credit Agreement was amended and restated on January 28,26, 2019, as discussed below.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On January 28, 2019, Purple LLC entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Lenders. In the First Amendment, Purple LLC agreed to enter into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, under which two of the Lenders (“Incrementallenders who originally financed the Related Party loan (the “Incremental Lenders”) agreed to provide an incremental loan offunded a $10.0 million such thatincrease in the total amount of principal indebtedness provided to Purple LLC is increased to $35.0 million. A stockholder meeting was held on February 25, 2019 at which time a majority of non-interested stockholders voted in favor of this transaction. The Amendedloan and Restated Credit Agreement, and each of the related documents, was accordingly closed, and the incremental $10.0 million loan was funded on February 26, 2019, and the Company issued to the Incremental Lendersreceived 2.6 million warrants (“Incremental Loan Warrants”) to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Among other things, the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the maturity date for all loans under the Credit Agreement to five years from closing of the incremental loan, lowers the amount allowed for an asset-based loan to $10.0 million, revises certain restrictive covenants to make them more applicable to the Company’s current business, provides the ability for the Company to request additional loans from the Lenders not to exceed $10 million and other closing conditions, representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. All indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bears interest at 12.0% per annum and is payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, provided that Purple LLC will be required to pay up to an additional 4.0% of interest per annum if it fails to meet certain EBITDA thresholds and an additional 2.0% of interest per annum if the Company is not in material compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, Purple LLC may elect for interest in excess of 5.0% per annum to be capitalized and added to the principal amount. Any principal pre-payments in the first year are subject to a make-whole payment, while principal pre-payments in years two through four are subject to certain pre-payment penalties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for certain remedies to the Lenders in the event of customary events of default and provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders. Purple LLC continues to be restricted from making annual capital expenditures in excess of $20.0 million and incurring capital lease obligations in excess of $10.0 million at any time outstanding, subject to limited exceptions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

In conjunction with the incremental loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company paid fees and debt issuance costs in the amount of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the $4.9 million fair value of the 2.6 million warrants at the time of issuance was included as a component of the loss on extinguishment of debt.

On March 27, 2020 the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders. The purpose of this Amendment is to allow the Company to defer the remaining 5% of interest for the quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020 in an effort to reduce its cash disbursements during the COVID-19 impact.

Interest expense related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The interest expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 in the amount of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount. Of the interest expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, was paid in cash.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In 2019, the Company accounted for the debt restructuring under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in accordance with ASC 470 - Debt. The Company determined that there are separate lenders for purposes of determining if there was an extinguishment or modification. The amended debt terms with CDF were not determined to be substantial and therefore the existing debt attributable to CDF was accounted for as a modification of debt. The amended debt terms with the Incremental Lenders were determined to be substantially different terms from their existing debt and therefore required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of their existing debt. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of their existing debt of approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This is a non-cash expense primarily associated with the recognition of related unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs and the fair value of the incremental warrants issued.

9. Warrant Liabilities

The Incremental Loan Warrants issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contain a warrant repurchase provision which, upon an occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the warrant agreement, could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to the warrant holders. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) a fundamental transaction; (2) acquisition of 25% or more of the total voting power of all the securities of the entity by any one person or group of affiliated persons or entities; (3) Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceasing to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company; or (4) the Board of Directors ceasing to be comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined under NASDAQ rules, the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced by a value based upon a formula model established in the agreement. The formula model is a Black Scholes valuation model which would use the following inputs: (1) share price would be the greater of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for the prior 30 days before the applicable event date or the VWAP of the trading day immediately preceding the event date; (2) exercise price of $5.74, unless previously adjusted under other terms of the warrant; (3) volatility would be the greater of 100% and the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for the ninety days preceding the date of the triggering event; and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the US Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this warrant. In May 2020, Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceased to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants werewas reduced to $0,zero based on the formula established in the agreement.

The Company has determined that the fundamental transaction provisions require the warrants to be accounted for the Incremental Loan Warrants as a liabilityliabilities in accordance with ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction under guidance prescribed in ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The liability for the warrants isand subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. On November 9, 2020, the Company issued 2.6 million shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the exercise of all of the warrants held by the Incremental Lenders.

Non-Income Related Taxes

Legal Proceedings

On January 9, 2018, Chris Knudsen, a former consultant to the company, filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Fourth Judicial District Court of the State of Utah. Mr. Knudsen alleged that before his consulting contract ended in March 2016, he and Purple LLC reached an oral agreement under which Mr. Knudsen would become the company’s chief executive officer on April 1, 2016, and under which Mr. Knudsen would immediately receive a 4% equity interest in Purple LLC. Mr. Knudsen also alleged that Purple LLC’s failure to convey to him a 4% equity interest in the company constitutes a breach of that oral agreement, and Mr. Knudsen claimed damages of $10.75 million, based on his calculation of the value of a 4% interest in Purple LLC. The Company maintains insurance to defend against claims of this nature. In October 2019, Purple LLC moved for summary judgment on Mr. Knudsen’s claims.  In June 2020, the court granted that motion and entered judgment on behalf of Purple LLC, fully disposing of all claims in the lawsuit.

PerfectSense is a manufacturer and supplier of mattresses and related products.

In prior periodsPrior to the second quarter of 2020, the Company had maintained a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets which are comprised primarily of basis differences in Purple LLC. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets on income tax returns. In periods prior periods,to the second quarter of 2020, management had determinedmade the determination that its net deferred tax assets were not more likely than not going to be realized due to existence of critical negative evidence thatbecause the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss position.position and the generation of future taxable income was uncertain. Considering this and other factors, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance of $44.3 million was maintained through the period ending March 31, 2020.

ForDuring fiscal 2020, the period ended June 30, 2020,Company achieved three-year cumulative income for the first time and in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management determined that it is nowwould likely generate sufficient taxable income to utilize some of its deferred tax assets. Based on this and other positive evidence, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that some of its net deferred tax assets willwould be realized and that a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets iswas no longer appropriate. As of the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position. As a result, of the removal of this negative evidence and other items of positive evidence, the Company has determined that the deferred tax assets are now more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, $32.8$35.5 million of the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s federal and state deferred tax assets was released during 2020 and recorded as an income tax benefit during the period ended June 30, 2020. An additional $2.7 million of remaining valuation allowance will be released in subsequent quarters as taxes are recorded. In addition, and in conjunction with the removal of the valuation allowance, the Company recorded an additional $59.0 million in deferred tax assets primarily related to tax basis increases resulting from exchanges of Class B Paired Securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020.benefit. The deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020 are $112.12021 totaled $209.0 million, with $11.5which is net of a $70.4 million of remaining valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets, which will be released in subsequent quarters. $8.8 million of valuation allowancethat has been recorded against the residual outside partnership basis for the amount the Company believes is not more likely than not realizable. As a result, there was an overall increase of $18.4 million in the valuation allowance from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in the residual outside partnership basis.

The Company currently estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be 0.4%27.30%. The annualized effective tax rate for the Company differs from the federal rate of 21% primarily due to (1) the release of a portionnon-taxable nature of the valuation allowance throughchange in fair value of the current year’s annual effective tax rate calculation,warrant liability and (2) NCI in Purple LLC that is allocated to InnoHoldstate and others.local income taxes.

 

The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2020, is (166)% primarily due to the tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the Company has recorded an income tax benefitexpense of $35.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively.$3.5 million. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 12.91%, which is less than the federal statutory rate because the gain related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability is excluded from taxable income for income tax purposes.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating during 2018 through 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for tax years beginning January 1, 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.

In addition,On March 11, 2021, Congress passed, and the CARESPresident signed into law, the American Rescue Plan Act, raises2021 (the “ARP”), which includes certain business tax provisions. At this point the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation. The enactment of the CARES Act resulted in two adjustments to ourCompany does not believe that these changes will have a material impact on its income tax provision for 2021. The Company will continue to evaluate the six months ended June 30, 2020, relating to increased 2019 NOL utilizationimpact of new legislation on its financial position, results of operations, and tax benefits from NOL carrybacks. We have recorded a discrete benefit of $0.5 million in our income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the CARES Act.cash flows.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRAa tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, which provides for the payment by the Company to InnoHold of 80% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the distribution to InnoHold of the cash consideration, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the redemption by Purple LLC or the exchange by the Company, as applicable, of Class B Paired Securities or cash, as applicable, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the TRA.tax receivable agreement.

As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Class B Units, a TRA Liability istax receivable agreement liability may be recorded based on 80% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. The amount of the increase in asset basis, the related estimated cash tax savings and the attendant TRA Liabilitytax receivable agreement liability to be recorded will depend on the price of the Company’s Class A Stock at the time of the relevant redemption or exchange.

The estimation of liability under the TRAtax receivable agreement is by its nature imprecise and subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income. As a result of the initial merger transaction and 26.6 million to datethe subsequent exchanges of Class B Units for Class A Stock, the potential future TRAtax receivable agreement liability is $81.5 million, of which $78.7 million has been recorded through the second quarter of 2020. Due to the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to which the Tax Receivable Agreement liability relates, only $78.7 of the $81.5 million has been recorded to date ($0.5 million in 2019 and an incremental $78.2 million through June 30, 2020).$172.3 million. Of the totaltax receivable agreement liability recorded during 2020, $45.3the six months ended June 30, 2021, $0.8 million relates to current year exchanges and was recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity and $32.9$0.2 million was recorded toas expense in orderthe condensed consolidated statement of operations to reestablishreflect the TRA related to prior year exchanges.

The Company has no federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards after utilization of the remaining carryforwards in 2020.

The effects of uncertain tax positions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. For those uncertain tax positions that are recognized in the consolidated financial statements, liabilities are established to reflect the portion of those positions it cannot conclude “more-likely-than-not” to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.income. Accrued interest and penalties would be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2020,2021, no uncertain tax positions were recognized as liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

InnoHold Incentive Units

In January 2017, pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan approved by InnoHold and Purple LLC that authorized the issuance of 12.0 million incentive units, Purple LLC granted 11.3 million incentive units to Purple Team LLC, an entity for the benefit of certain employees who were participants in that plan. In conjunction with the Business Combination, Purple Team LLC was merged into InnoHold with InnoHold being the surviving entity and the Purple Team LLC incentive units were cancelled and new incentive units were issued by InnoHold under its own limited liability company agreement (the “InnoHold Agreement”). On February 8, 2019, InnoHold initiated a tender offer to each of these incentive unit holders, some of which are current employees of Purple LLC, to distribute to each a pro rata number of 2.5 million Paired Securities held by InnoHold in exchange for the cancellation of their ownership interests in InnoHold. All InnoHold incentive unit holders accepted the offer, and the terms and distribution of each transaction were finalized and closed on June 25, 2019. At the closing of the tender offer, those incentive unit holders received, based on their pro rata holdings of InnoHold Class B Units, a portion of 2.5 million Paired Securities held by InnoHold. The distribution by InnoHold to current employees of Purple LLC as of the distribution date resulted in the recognition of non-cash stock compensation expense for Purple LLC in the amount of $6.3 million which represented the fair value of the Paired Securities as of the distribution date in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, 0.82021, 0.4 million of the Paired Securities remain to be exchanged for Class A Stock by the incentive unit holders. A small number of Paired Securities remain subject to vesting contingent upon such current employees’ continued employment with the Company.

Introductory Note

On February 2, 2018, our predecessor, GPAC, consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by and among GPAC, Merger Sub, Purple LLC, InnoHold and the Sponsor, which provided for the Company’s acquisition of Purple LLC’s business through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Purple LLC, with Purple LLC being the survivor in the Business Combination.

In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from “Global Partner Acquisition Corp.” to “Purple Innovation, Inc.” The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because the former owners of Purple LLC had control over the combined company through their 82% ownership of the common stock of the Company. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the historical operations of Purple LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect (i) the historical operating results of Purple LLC prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Purple LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for all periods (both pre- and post-Business Combination) presented.

Organization

Our business consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. Purple Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of GPAC. On February 2, 2018, Purple Inc. consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Purple Inc. acquired an equity interest in Purple LLC and became its sole managing member. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. In connection with the Business Combination, InnoHold retained an 82% economic interest in Purple LLC. InnoHold subsequently transferred a portion of its Class B Units to permitted transferees and exchanged its remaining shares for shares of Class A Stock that it sold. At June 30, 2021, Purple Inc. had a 99% economic interest in Purple LLC while other Class B Unit holders had the remaining 1%.


 

COVID-19 Pandemic Developments

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of our operations, directly and indirectly, including disruption of our employees, consumer behavior, distribution and logistics, our suppliers, and the market overall. The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve. In lightBecause of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of precautionary measures recommended by the appropriate national and state health agencies to manage our resources and mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic, which is intended to help minimize the risk to our Company, employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Employees at the Company’s headquarters and certain other employees have been asked to work from home where possible, with only limited access given to employees to work in the office when necessary. For roles that require employees to be on-site, such as our manufacturing facility and distribution center, we are providing protective equipment, practicing social distancing and increasing sanitizing standards.

Despite the ongoing challenges from COVID-19, the Company haswe have been able to capitalize on the opportunities created by this situation. We were able to continue to serveserving our customers through our Direct to Consumer (“DTC”)DTC channel, which has remainedas strong throughout the quarter as consumer demand for our premium, differentiated product offerings shifted to our DTC channel.channel throughout 2020. We continue to focus our efforts in our DTC core competencies resulting in a continued acceleration in DTC channel sales across all of our product categories throughout the quarter. This increase in demand was a contributing factor to DTC net revenue growth of 128% over the prior year second quarter. There can be no assurance that this trend of increased demand through our DTC channel will continue. We initially experienced a sharp decline in the wholesale side of our business during the second quarter of 2020 as temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses and shelter-at-home directives occurred in most U.S. states. As the shutdowns were lifted and stores began to open again, demand through the wholesale channel increased. In addition,has increased and customer demand in 2021 has shifted to wholesale and DTC levels we were ableexperiencing prior to re-openthe COVID-19 pandemic. All of our three showrooms in California in June 2020, oneare currently open and we have continued with our expansion plans by opening four new showrooms since the beginning of which subsequently closed again in July 2020 in compliance with local orders.

This increase in DTC and Wholesale demand allowed us to work through a portion of our on-hand inventory and required us to ramp up production. We continue to take advantage of our vertically integrated business model to adjust production schedules to leverage inventory on hand and tightly manage labor costs. We also continue to dynamically adjust our significant discretionary online advertising spend in response to any changes in DTC trends as they develop.

Our supply chain has not been significantly affected by COVID-19. Currently, our domestic suppliers are able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed. Suppliers in China were temporarily closed as a resultbecause of the pandemic, but we had sufficient inventory on hand. Many ofhand to meet our production needs. These suppliers have resumed production and are able to supply materials as needed. Most of our domestic suppliers have been able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed. We have experienced some constraints from certain suppliers due to our increased production to meet demand. We have also experienced some shipping delays in the delivery of our product to our customers. This is due to the increased nationwide demand placed on delivery companies.

Although the Company haswe have taken numerous measures to protect theour business, we cannot predict the specific duration for which these precautionary measures relating to COVID-19 will stay in effect, and we may elect or needbe required to take additional measures as the information available to us continues to develop, including with respect to our employees, manufacturing facilityfacilities and distribution center, and relationships with our suppliers and customers. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government, consumer, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, ongoing cash generated from e-commerce, liquidity available under our line of credit, and eventualcontinuing resumption and ramp up of store operations and our wholesale business, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However,

While most state and local governments have eased restrictions on commercial retail activity, it is possible that a resurgence in cases of COVID-19 or one of its variants could prompt a return to tighter restrictions in certain areas of the extent to whichcountry. Furthermore, while the bedding industry has fared much better during the pandemic than certain other sectors of the economy, continued economic weakness mayeventually have an adverse impact upon the industry and our business. Therefore, significant uncertainty remains regarding the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemicoutbreak upon our financial condition and our precautionary measuresfuture results of operations, as well as upon the significant estimates and assumptions we utilize in response thereto mayreporting certain assets and liabilities.

Isolated Production Challenges

During the second quarter of 2021, following an accident resulting in the death of an employee and subsequent safety improvements involving the Mattress Max machines, the Company encountered isolated production challenges caused by unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues when bringing the machines back online. As a result, the Company has experienced significantly reduced production levels causing shipment backlogs that unfavorably affected second quarter net revenues and will also adversely impact our businessthird quarter net revenues. The Company exited the month of July with production back at planned levels and expects to be out of the current backlog position by the end of August. The Company also expects there to be no impact on completing the scheduled addition of new Mattress Max machines as previously announced. The Company is confident that these issues are an isolated event and will dependhave no impact on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be precisely predicted at this time.its ability to scale beyond 2021.

Revenue

Total net revenueNet revenues increased $62.1$17.5 million, or 60.3%10.6%, to $182.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $165.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 20202020. Our wholesale business generated net revenue growth of $46.5 million, or 233.2% during the second quarter of 2021 while DTC net revenues decreased by $29.0 million, or 19.9%. Net revenue changes associated with our DTC channel relative to our wholesale business reflected a shift in customer demand to levels we were experiencing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our wholesale business was also favorably impacted by wholesale expansion and the prior year second quarter being negatively impacted by the temporary shutdown of wholesale partner operations caused by the pandemic. Net revenues were unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above). The increase in net revenues from $103.0a product perspective reflected a $12.2 million increase in mattress sales, a $4.0 million increase in other bedding product sales and a $1.3 million increase in other product sales. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer demand.


Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues increased $17.4 million, or 20.9%, to $100.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a $40.1 million increase in mattress sales, a $14.0 million increase in top of mattress sales and a $8.0 million net increase in other products. These increases in revenue were primarily attributable to a channel shift toward DTC across all product lines due to recent increases in online shopping in home furnishings.

Marketing and sales expense as a percentage of net revenues was 32.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 23.9% for the comparative prior period. The higher percentage of net revenues in the current quarter was due in part to product sales being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher advertising rates in 2021 and advertising costs in the prior year second quarter being uncharacteristically low because of the pandemic.

Interest Expense

Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 12% and we have been historically capitalizing 7% interest and paying 5% interest in cash.

This was part of an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The portion relating to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $1.2 million of which $0.7 million was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.5 million was paid in cash.

Revenue

Total net revenueNet revenues increased $100.8$81.5 million, or 54.0%28.4%, to $369.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $287.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 20202020. During the first six months of 2021, DTC net revenues increased $15.3 million, or 6.8%, while our wholesale business generated net revenue growth of $66.3 million, or 107.6%. Net revenue changes associated with our DTC channel relative to our wholesale business reflected a shift in customer demand to levels we were experiencing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our wholesale business was also favorably impacted by wholesale expansion and the prior year second quarter being negatively impacted by the temporary shutdown of wholesale partner operations caused by the pandemic. Net revenues were unfavorably impacted by the isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above). The increase in net revenues from $186.7a product perspective reflected a $58.3 million increase in mattress sales, a $15.3 million increase in other bedding product sales and a $7.9 million increase in other product sales. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer demand.

Cost of Revenues

The cost of revenues increased $47.1 million, or 30.9%, to $199.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to a $66.6 million increase in mattress sales, a $24.5 million increase in top of mattress sales and a $9.6 million net increase in other products. These increases in revenue were primarily attributable to a channel shift toward DTC across all product lines due to recent increases in online shopping in home furnishings.

Marketing and Sales

Marketing and sales expenses increased $16.1$38.1 million, or 26.9%50.1%, to $114.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $76.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $60.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The2020. This increase was due toreflected a $10.5$22.9 million increase in advertising costs due to higher advertising rates in 2021 and advertising costs in 2020 being uncharacteristically low due to the pandemic, a $5.1$7.7 million increase in marketing salariespersonnel costs related to an increase in personnelplanned growth of our workforce and a $0.5$7.5 million increase in other marketing and sales expenses. The marketingMarketing and sales expense as a percentage of net revenuerevenues was 31.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. This is a decrease from 32.1%The higher percentage of net revenues in the first six months of 2021 was due in part to product sales being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher advertising rates in 2021 and advertising costs in the prior year second quarter being uncharacteristically low because of the pandemic.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $20.8 million, or 128.0%, to $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to efficiencies in our advertising spending created from enhanced marketing strategies, lower advertising costs and a temporary reduction in advertising spending as part of our cash preservation initiatives.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million, or 29.8%,2021 compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $12.52020. This increase was primarily due to a $14.3 million increase in legal and professional fees related to offering costs, consultants, professional staffing and executive placement costs, a $3.3 million increase related to planned increases in our workforce, and a $3.2 million increase in all other expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development costs increased $0.6 million, or 20.5%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in salaries related to an increase in personnel, a $1.1 million increase in software subscriptions, legal fees and a new corporate building lease and $1.4 million increase in all other expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million of stock compensation expense.

Research and Development

Research and development costs increased $1.1 million, or 56.4%, to2021 from $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.92020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional services costs related to product development activities.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $25.1 million, or 63.6%, to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million in amortization2021, from operating income of a one-year license agreement for innovative technology and a $0.5 million increase in salaries and other R&D expenses as we added resources for new product innovation.

Operating Income

Operating income increased $37.1 million, or 1,519.7%, to $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, from operating income2020. This decrease was due in part to net revenues being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of $2.42021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher marketing and sales expenses, increased legal and professional fees and increased expenses associated with planned growth of our workforce.

Interest Expense

Interest expense totaled $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due2021 as compared to increased DTC sales with higher margins and lower marketing and sales costs as a percentage of revenue.

Interest Expense

We incurred $2.8 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 including $2.4 million related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $0.4 million in other interest. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement had an outstanding principal balance of $41.6 million at June 30, 2020. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 12% and we have been historically capitalizing 7% interest and paying 5% interest in cash. In March 2020, we signed the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that allows the Company to capitalize the full 12% interest, or approximately $1.2 million for the two quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020. This was part of an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. The portion relating$1.7 million decrease was primarily due to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $2.0$35.0 million Related Party Loan, which carried an interest rate of which $1.212.00%, being refinanced in the third quarter of 2020 with a $45.0 million was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.8 million was paidterm loan at an initial interest rate of 3.50%. Interest expense in cash. In addition, there was $0.4 million in other interest. 

Loss on Extinguishment2021 also includes amortization of Debt

In February 2019, in conjunction with the Incremental Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we determined that the amended debt terms resulted in substantially different terms for a portion of the existing debt and therefore was required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of a portion of the existing debt. Accordingly, we recognized a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of a portion of the existing debt of approximately $6.3 million. This was a non-cash expense primarilydeferred loan costs associated with the recognition2020 Credit Agreement and fees related to the revolving line of related unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs and the fair value of the Incremental Loan Warrants issued.credit.

Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities

TheOn February 26, 2019, the Incremental Lenders funded a $10.0 million increase in the Related Party Loan and received 2.6 million warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of our Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. We accounted for the Incremental Loan Warrants issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are classified as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. An increase in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2020 resulted in a non-cash loss in the amount of $25.3 million recorded in earnings for the period. The increase inWe determined the fair value of the Incremental Loan Warrants as ofto be $47.0 million at June 30, 2020 was due primarily to the increase in our stock price and the decrease of the Pearce’s ownership interest below 50%, which triggered a change in the exercise price of the outstanding Incremental Loan Warrants to $0. 

Tax Receivable Agreement Expense

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with InnoHold. As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Class B Units, a TRA Liability is recorded based on 80% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. As a result of the initial merger transaction and 26.6 million life to date exchanges of Class B Stock for Class A Stock and the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to which the TRA liability relates, $78.7 million has been recorded as of June 30, 2020, of which $78.2 million was recorded during2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $25.3 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to the change in fair value of these warrants. There was no gain or loss on the Incremental Loan Warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as they were exercised in 2020.


There were 15.5 million public warrants issued in connection with GPAC’s formation and IPO and 12.8 million sponsor warrants issued pursuant to a simultaneous private placement with the IPO. We have accounted for these warrants as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value included in earnings. The 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2021 had a fair value of $14.5 million. The fair value of the public and sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2020 was $107.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a gain of $14.0 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to a decrease in the fair value of the sponsor warrants exercised during the six-month period or that were outstanding at June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $83.3 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to an increase in the fair value of the public and sponsor warrants exercised during the prior year six-month period or that were outstanding at the end of June 30, 2020.

Tax Receivable Agreement Expense

The tax receivable agreement liability totaled $172.3 million and $172.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the first six months of 2021, we incurred $0.2 million of tax receivable agreement expense due to state tax rate changes. Of the total $78.2 million liability recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020, $45.3 million relates to current year exchanges and was recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity and $32.9 was recorded to expense as it related to reestablishing the TRAtax receivable agreement liability related to prior year exchanges.

AtWe calculate net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net income attributed to noncontrolling interests was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $7.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the net income level attributed to noncontrolling interests resulted from the noncontrolling ownership interest declining from approximately 32% at June 30, 2020 this ownership percentage wasto approximately 32%, a decrease from approximately 82%1% at June 30, 2019. This decrease was the result of the exchange of 26.6 million Paired Securities for Class A, mostly attributed to InnoHold’s two secondary public offerings concluded in November 2019 and May 2020.2021.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary cash needs have historically consisted of working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. Our working capital needs depend upon the timing of cash receipts from sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories, and capital and operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and working capital position are strong. We had cash in the amount of $95.4positions were $110.1 million and $96.4 million, respectively, as of June 30, 20202021 compared to $123.0 million and $33.5$96.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. We had working capital2020. Cash used for purchases of $50.4property and equipment increased from $8.0 million as of June 30, 2020, and we had working capital of $27.3 million as of December 31, 2019. Duringduring the first six months ended June 30,of 2020 our accounts receivable decreased by $9.7to $26.2 million mainly due to a decrease in our wholesale revenue. Our capital expenditures primarily relate to acquiring and maintaining manufacturing equipment and expanding capacity. Our cash used for capital expenditures was $8.0 million forduring the first six months ended June 30, 2020. We financed these capital expenditures through cash provided by operating activities.of 2021. This increase primarily resulted from continuing to build out our new manufacturing facility in Georgia that began operations in March 2021, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities in Utah, scaling our infrastructure to support the growth of our workforce, and opening several new Company showrooms.


 

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a number of precautionary measures to manage our resources and mitigate theits adverse impact of the pandemic.impact. Given the initial difficultlydifficulty in predicting how long thisthe pandemic would persist and its full impact, we managed our business and opportunities to preserve liquidity. We temporarily reduced our capital spend by delaying all non-maintenance related projects and investments in non-essential initiatives and headcount additions. Other proactive steps were taken to carefully manage cash and quickly and prudently respond to the rapidly changing circumstances including temporarily furloughing a portion of our permanent workforce, temporarily deferring a portion of the cash compensation of Senior Executives and all the cash compensation of members of our Board of Directors, and limiting other discretionary expenses. We also entered into an amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to allow the Company to defer 5% of the interest for quarterly payments due during the first two quarters of 2020. In addition, our receivables from our wholesale partners remain healthy. Most of our wholesale partners continue to make payments in accordance with their original contract terms and remain current on their outstanding balances.

As a result of our precautionary measures, continued payments from wholesale customers, and our strong DTC sales, our cash balance increased by $61.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. We have now ended manymost of the cash preservation programs and have returned to near full production to meet increased demand.demand during the second half of 2020. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, along with ongoing cash generated from our DTC business, strongamounts available under our line of credit, increasing demand of our productproducts in the Wholesalewholesale channel and eventual resumption andcontinuing ramp up of store operations, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

On January 28, 2019,September 3, 2020, we paid $45.0 million to retire, in full, all indebtedness related to Purple LLC’s Related Party Loan. The payment included $25.0 million for the original loan under the agreement, $10.0 million for a subsequent incremental loan, $6.6 million for paid-in-kind interest, $2.5 million for a prepayment fee and $0.9 million for accrued interest.

Also on September 3, 2020, Purple LLC entered into the First Amendment, which amended the Credit Agreement. In the First Amendment, Purple LLC agreed to enter into the Amended and Restated2020 Credit Agreement under whichthat provided for a $45.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit. The agreement has a five-year term and borrowing rates for both the Lenders agreedTerm Loan and revolving line of credit are based on Purple LLC’s leverage ratio and can range from LIBOR plus a 3.00% to provide an incremental loan3.75% margin with a LIBOR minimum of $10.0 million such that0.50%. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance outstanding on the total amount of principalrevolving credit facility. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to retire all indebtedness provided to Purple LLC was increased to $35.0 million. A stockholder meeting was held on February 25, 2019 at which time a majority of non-interested stockholders voted in favor of this transaction. Accordingly,associated with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and each related document, was closed and an incremental loan of $10.0 million was funded. In addition, we issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. On February 26, 2019, we received approximately $9.2 million in proceeds after debt issuance costs and fees. For additional information regarding our credit agreement with Coliseum, refer to Note 8 — Long-Term Debt, Related Party of our condensed consolidated financial statements.Loan.

The proceeds received for the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as well as principal and interest payments on certain capital leases.cash exercise was $0.1 million. At June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding.

In the event our cash flow from operations or other sources of financing are less than anticipated, we believe we will be able to fund operating expenses based on our ability to scale back operations, reduce marketing spend and postpone or discontinue our growth strategies. In such event, this could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to current creditors or pursue work-out options.

If cash flow from operations or available financing under the Amended and Restated2020 Credit Agreement are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses or our growth strategies, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to obtain additional or alternative capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including instability in the credit and financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, political or social unrest, other macroeconomic factors and approval from the Lenders.lenders under the 2020 Credit Agreement. Adequate financing may not be available or, if available,offered, may only be available on unfavorable terms. The U.S. government has recently announced that it is establishing a Main Street Lending Program to support lending to small and medium-sized businesses. However, there is no guarantee that we will be eligible to participate in such program or that, if we are eligible to participate, that we will receive any benefits under this program. Further, the Main Street Lending Program imposes restrictions on how funds received are used that would limit our ability to operate our business. The restrictive covenants in the Amended and Restated2020 Credit Agreement may make it difficult to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us, and the Lenderswe may not agreebe able to lend ussatisfy the conditions necessary to obtain additional funds.funds pursuant to the revolving credit facility under the 2020 Credit Agreement. There is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our future operations or growth strategies. In addition, future equity or debt financings including under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or, as described above, may be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain our growth and competitiveness or continue in business.

We are required to make certain payments to InnoHold under the TRA,tax receivable agreement, which payments may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. We are currently unable to determine the total future amount of these payments due to the unpredictable nature of several factors, including the timing of future exchanges, the market price of shares of Class A Stock at the time of the exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of future taxable income sufficient to utilize tax attributes that give rise to the payments under TRA.the tax receivable agreement. As of June 30, 2020,2021, the estimated future payments undertax receivable agreement liability reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheet is $172.3 million of which $5.9 million is classified as other current liabilities in the TRA are $78.7 million with approximately $0.6 million due to be paid within the next 12 months.condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Six months ended June 30, 20202021 Compared to the Six months ended June 30, 20192020

Cash provided by operating activities was $72.4$11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $70.32021 compared to $72.3 million from cash provided by operating activities of $2.1 million duringfor the six months ended June 30, 2019.2020. The decrease in cash provided by operations primarily resulted from a $43.5 million decrease in operating cash flows related to net changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding six-month period in the prior year. This decrease consisted of decreased cash from changes in period-over-period fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventories and liabilities, offset in part by an increase in cash related to a change in the year-over-year fluctuation in prepaid inventory and other assets. The decrease in cash provided by operations was due mainly to increasedfurther impacted by a $17.4 million decrease in cash provided by operating income of $37.1 million,which was mainly driven by an accelerationnet revenues being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of DTC2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher marketing and sales $24.3 million from the year-over-year changeexpenses, increased legal and professional fees and planned increases in accounts receivables due to the shift to more DTC sales in 2020, $9.9 million from the year-over-year change in inventory partially offset by $3.1 million from all other changes in operating activities.our workforce.

There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of our condensed consolidated financial statements.fiscal 2020.


 

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

On July 21, 2020,As of June 30, 2021, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions and did not have any off-balance-sheet financing. Also, there was no balance outstanding on our $55.0 million revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2021.

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations during the Company signed a Lease (the “Lease”) with PNK S2, LLC for approximately 520,000 square feet located at 1325 Hwy 42 S., Building B, McDonough, Georgia (the “Building”). A copy of the Lease is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and incorporated by reference. The Company anticipates immediately preparing the Building for use as a manufacturing, distribution and office facility and expects it to be fully operationalthree months ended June 30, 2021 from those previously disclosed in 2021.

The term of the Lease is 128 months including an eight-month free rent period, which will commence upon completion of the landlord’s work on the Company’s space in the Building. The Company anticipates the landlord’s work to be completed in November, 2020. Prior to the commencement of the term, the Company has an immediate right to make use of the Building. Under the Lease, the Company will pay $3.41 per square foot annually or $147,675 per monthour Form 10-Q for the initial lease year. Thereafter the basic monthly rent increases 2% per year. The Lease also provides the Company with an option to extend the Lease term for two additional five-year periods at rates for the first renewal term of $4.24 per square foot with 2% annual increases and for the second renewal term of $4.75 per square foot with annual increases of 3.5%. The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of the operating expenses incurred by the landlord for the Building. The Lease provides for a tenant improvement allowance of $12.50 per usable square foot. The Lease also provides the Company with signage rights and a right of first refusal on other contiguous space.quarterly period ended March 31, 2021.

Seasonality and Cyclicality

We believe that sales of our products are typically subject to seasonality corresponding to different periods of the consumer spending cycle, holidays and other seasonal factors. Our sales may also vary with the performance of the broader economy consistent with the market.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not Applicable.


 

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that due to the material weakness described below and as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K/A filed May 10, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2020.2021.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation and interim reviewA material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our quarterlyannual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 due to the material weakness described below.

Our internal control over financial reporting did not identify an error in the classification of the public and sponsor warrants issued in connection with our independently registeredIPO and through a simultaneous private placement, which we determined to be a material weakness. This error in classification was brought to our attention when the SEC issued a public statement (the “SEC Statement”) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting firm identifiedand reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those public and sponsor warrants we issued. We previously classified our public warrants and sponsor warrants as equity. As a result of such misclassification, we restated our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019 and March 31, 2020 and 2019. Such restated financial statements were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on May 10, 2021.

In response to this material weakness in internal controlscontrol over the tax provision process, specificallyfinancial reporting related to the releaseassessment of complex accounting issues reached in prior periods that continue to impact the valuation allowanceCompany, we will implement a new control to assess complex accounting issues reached in the past that continue to impact the Company to ensure those conclusions reached are still appropriate. Our plans include increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding the unique recordingapplication of complex accounting transactions. Our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time and will be continually reviewed to determine that it is achieving its objectives. We can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the Tax Receivable Agreement liability during the quarter as described in Note 14 – Income Taxes.intended effects.

We have begun remediating the underlying cause of this material weakness including the implementation of additional steps in our process of reviewing unique and complicated tax transactions. We believe these additional steps will enable us to identify and remediate quickly any potential errors in our processes and broaden the scope and quality of our controls over our tax processes.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

ThereOther than the changes described above, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is from time to time involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Please refer to Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies and Note 18 – Subsequent Eventsto the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report and to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2020 for certain information regarding our legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Except as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC on March 9, 2020.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect aspects11, 2021 as amended by Form 10-K/A filed on May 10, 2021.The disclosure of our business operations, including, among other things, our supply chain, workforce, and liquidity.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2, andrisks identified below does not imply that the resulting disease, COVID-19,risk has spread to multiple countries, including the United States and all of the primary markets where we conduct business. On March 10, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the U.S. government-imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States and Europe for a 30-day period. Further, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response. Almost all U.S. states and many local jurisdictions have issued at various times, and others in the future may issue, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders, restrictions, and recommendations for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders, restrictions and recommendations, and the perception that additional orders, restrictions or recommendations could occur, have resulted in widespread closures of businesses not deemed “essential,” work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, as well as record declines in stock prices, among other effects. While certain jurisdictions have begun easing restrictions as the outbreak has slowed in such jurisdictions, we cannot be certain that other jurisdictions will do so. Furthermore, some jurisdictions have experienced a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, which has prompted governments to reinstate previously scaled back restrictions. If other jurisdictions experience a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, they may also prolong restrictions that could negatively affect our business. We continue to monitor our operations and government mandates and may elect or be required to temporarily close our offices or Company showrooms to protect our employees, and limit our access to customers and limit customer use of our products as they are required to prioritize resources to address the public healthcare needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruptions to our activities and operations may negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. There is a risk that government actions, or lack thereof, will not be effective at containing COVID-19, and that government actions or inactions, including the orders and restrictions described above and premature lessening of those restrictions, that are intended to contain the spread of COVID-19 while also minimizing harm to the economy, will have a devastating negative impact on the world economy at large, in which case the risks to our sales, operating results and financial condition described herein would be elevated significantly.

The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our business may be difficult to assess or predict. The widespread pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result for an extended period, in significant disruption of global financial markets, and may restrict our ability to access capital, which would negatively affect our liquidity. While we have been able to reverse some previous actions undertaken, such as, among others, temporarily deferring capital expenditures, furloughing certain employees, and temporarily deferring compensation for our senior executives, we may be required to take such actions again, or take additional actions, if there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases or reinstatement of government restrictions. As a result of such actions or restrictions, we may be unable to complete capital expenditure projects or investments in the future, which would limit our ability to grow our business, and our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

already materialized.

Further, quarantines or government reaction or shutdowns for COVID-19 could disrupt our supply chain. Travel and import restrictions may also disrupt our ability to manufacture or distribute our products. Any import or export or other cargo restrictions related to our products or the raw materials used to manufacture our products would restrict our ability to manufacture and ship products and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our key personnel and other employees could also be affected by COVID-19, potentially reducing their availability. In addition, the government responses to COVID-19 or the procedures we take to mitigate its effect on our workforce could reduce the efficiency of our operations or prove insufficient to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business. We may delay or reduce certain capital spending and related projects until the travel and logistical impacts of COVID-19 are lifted, which could delay the completion of such projects.

Even after initial quarantines and other government restrictions are scaled back, there is risk that we will be unable to continue normal production and operations, due to, among other things, disruptions and delays in our supply chain, reduced demand in our wholesale channel, government relief programs that enable production workers to remain out of the workforce, and difficulties in ramping up our own operations. We may also experience disputes with our suppliers and/or customers as a result of such difficulties. Further, there may be subsequent outbreaks of COVID-19 that could disrupt our operations. In addition, as employees return to work, we may face claims by such employees or regulatory authorities that we have not provided adequate protection to our employees with respect to the spread of COVID-19 at our facilities.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects have harmed our business, financial condition and results of operations in the near term and could have a continuing material impact on our operations, sales and ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section, such as those relating to our high level of indebtedness, our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.

Customer demand for and our ability to sell and market our products, particularly within our wholesale business, has been and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in our business, slowed our anticipated wholesale partner and showroom plans and resulted in a contraction of our wholesale business due to temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses, reduced demand for physical retail locations, and shelter-at-home directives in most U.S. states. The future impact to our wholesale partners and consumer demand from the COVID-19 pandemic or a future health epidemic or other outbreak occurring in other locations, particularly in North America, is unknown. If we fail to anticipate changes in demand or consumer behavior resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic it could adversely affect our business or operating results.

If sales in our channels decline, including as a result of stay-at-home orders or temporary closures of our wholesale partners’ stores, our business may be adversely affected. Moreover, we may be impacted by difficulties experienced by our wholesale partners as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including disruptions in their supply chains, their liquidity challenges and their ability to keep open or reopen retail locations. In addition, while in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 we experienced an increase in demand for our products through our DTC channel, there can be no guarantee that sales through our DTC channel will continue to increase or will not decline.

We may not be eligible to participate in some of the relief programs provided under the recently adopted Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act or other government programs and even if we are eligible we may not realize any material benefits from participating in such programs.

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to evaluate the applicability of the CARES Act to the Company, and the potential impacts on our business and are actively taking advantage of applicable programs.

40

While we may determine to apply for programs available under the CARES Act, there is no guarantee that we will meet any eligibility requirements to participate in such programs or, even if we are able to participate, that such programs will provide meaningful benefit to our business.

In addition to the CARES Act in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government and state/local governments may offer additional programs intended to assist employers. We may fail to qualify for or take advantage of such COVID-19 relief programs, which may have a negative impact on our business. In the event we obtain financing through a government COVID-19 stimulus program, such financing may impose additional restrictions on our business and how those funds are used, such as bringing employees back from furlough even if production levels remain reduced, restrictions on the payment of distributions or dividends and limits on executive pay that could adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain qualified key employees.

The results of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s antidumping investigation could have a negative impact on our planned growth and future results of operations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Department”) previously opened an antidumping investigation into whether mattresses imported from China are being sold into the United States at below fair market value. The investigation results from a petition filed by U.S. mattress manufacturers claiming that in recent years Chinese exporters have unfairly made large gains in market share by undercutting prices. On May 29, 2019, the Department made a preliminary determination to impose import duties on Chinese exporters. On October 18, 2019, the Department made its final determination imposing import duties on exporters of Chinese mattresses. The U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) made its final injury determination on December 9, 2019. On December 16, 2019, the Department issued an antidumping duty order directing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price, or constructed export price, of the subject merchandise for all relevant entries of mattresses from China. However, if the antidumping duties do not result in the prevention of dumping of underpriced Chinese mattresses into the U.S. market, or if the import duties enacted by the Department or the antidumping order issued by the ITC are removed, rescinded, or modified, we could experience or continue to experience a negative impact on our planned growth and the future results of operations.

In addition, in March 2020 several U.S. mattress manufacturers and two labor unions announced that they filed seven antidumping duty petitions and one countervailing duty petition with the Department charging that unfairly traded imports of finished mattresses from eight countries are causing material injury to the U.S. mattress industry. In April 2020 the Department opened an investigation into the petitions. If the Department fails to impose antidumping duties on the named exporting countries, we could experience continued negative impact on our planned growth and future results of operations.

We may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results and growth rate, which could adversely affect our performance and financial results.

Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease. Our revenue and operating profit growth depend on the continued growth of demand for our products, and our business is affected by general economic and business conditions worldwide. Our business, our employees and our partners may also be negatively affected by political or social unrest including potential reputational damage, disruption of our physical facilities or those of our wholesale partners, and boycotts by employees or boycotts against us, our suppliers, our wholesale partners and our advertising partners. A softening of demand, whether caused by changes in customer confidence or preferences or a weakening of the U.S. or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth.

In addition, we rely on estimates and forecasts of our expenses and revenues to provide guidance and inform our business strategies, and some of our past estimates and forecasts have not been accurate. The rapidly evolving nature of our business makes forecasting operating results difficult. If we fail to accurately forecast our expenses and revenues, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may suffer, and the value of our business may decline. If our estimates and forecasts prove incorrect, we may not be able to adjust our operations quickly enough to respond to lower than expected sales or higher than expected expenses.

41

Our sales and operating results will also fluctuate for many other reasons, including due to risks described elsewhere in this section and the following:

our ability to attract new customers and the cost of acquiring new customers;

our ability and the time required to develop new Mattress Max machines, develop new production lines, scale production capacity and appropriately train staff;

the success of our wholesale and our Company showroom expansion efforts;

our ability to have enough production capacity to meet customer demand;

our ability to effectively manage increasing sales and marketing expenses;

our access to sufficient capital resources and liquidity to fund the growth of our business;

competition from the sublicensees of intellectual property licensed back to EdiZONE;

our ability to offer products on favorable terms, manage inventory, fulfill orders and manage product returns;

the introduction of competitive products, services, price decreases, discounts, or improvements;

timing, effectiveness, and costs of expansion and upgrades of our systems and infrastructure;

the success of our geographic and product line expansions, including but not limited to power requirements, labor needs, and ease of product distribution;

the success of hiring, expeditiously training, and retaining engaged labor locally and worldwide;

our ability to secure and retain superior global partners for specialized delivery services;

the extent to which we use debt or equity financing, and the terms of any such financing for, our current operations and future growth;

the outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, or governmental investigations or rulings, which may include significant monetary damages or injunctive relief and could have a material adverse impact on our operating results;

the ability to obtain patent and other intellectual property rights of exclusive use, and the enforceability and validity of our intellectual property rights;

our ability to accommodate variations in the mix of products we sell;

variations in our level of product returns, as well as our methods of collecting product returns or exchanges;

the extent to which we offer free shipping;

the extent to which we invest in technology and content, manufacturing, fulfillment, and other expense categories;

increases in the prices of materials used in the manufacturing of our products or the costs to produce our products, including but not limited to new or unanticipated tariffs;

our ability to anticipate and prepare for disruptions to manufacturing;

the extent to which operators of the networks between our customers and our websites successfully charge fees to grant our customers unimpaired and unconstrained access to our online services;

42

our ability to collect amounts owed to us when they become due;

the extent to which our internal network or website is affected by denial of service attacks, malicious unauthorized access, outages, and similar events;

the extent to which our internal network is affected by spyware, viruses, phishing and other spam emails, intrusions, data theft, downtime, and similar events;

our ability to manage the expenses associated with multiple facilities;

our ability to secure attractive real estate locations for expansion with sustainable cost structures; and

our ability to protect inventory assets from internal and external theft or damage.

The growth of our business places significant strain on our resources and if we are unable to manage our growth, we may not have profitable operations or sufficient capital resources.

We are rapidly and significantly expanding our operations, including expanding our workforce, increasing our product offerings and scaling our infrastructure to support expansion of our manufacturing capacity, our wholesale channel expansion and the opening of our Company showrooms. Our planned growth includes increasing our manufacturing capacity, developing and introducing new products and developing new and broader distribution channels, including wholesale and Company showrooms, and extending our global reach to other countries. This expansion increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions.

Our continued success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage and expand our operations and facilities and production capacity in the face of continued growth. The growth in our operations has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not manage our growth effectively, the quality of our products and fulfillment capabilities may suffer which could adversely affect our operating results. Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease. If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors or pursue work-out options.

Our growth depends in part on our ability to manage the opening and operating of new production facilities and our Company showrooms which will require our entering into leases and other obligations while the success of expanding operations geographically and opening additional Company showrooms remains unproven. To be successful, we will need to obtain or develop retail expertise and we will need to hire new employees in states that may have employment laws that could increase our expenses. In general, operating new production facilities and opening our Company showrooms in new locations exposes us to laws in other states that may not be as employer-friendly as those in which we currently operate, and may expose us to new liabilities. If we are not able to successfully manage the process of expanding operations geographically, opening our Company showrooms and maintaining operations in an expanding number of facilities and Company showrooms, we may have to close Company showrooms and incur sunk costs and continuing obligations that could put a strain upon our resources, damage our brand and reputation and limit our growth.

To manage our growth effectively, we will need to continue to implement operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures and improve the systems and procedures that are currently in place. There is no assurance that we will be able to fulfill our staffing requirements for our business, successfully train and assimilate new employees, or expand our management base and enhance our operating and financial systems. Failure to achieve any of these goals will prevent us from managing our growth in an effective manner and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our revenue and operating profit growth depends on the continued growth of demand for the products offered by us, and our business is affected by general economic and business conditions worldwide. A softening of demand, whether caused by changes in customer preferences or a weakening of the U.S. or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth. Further, we may not be able to accurately forecast our growth rate. We base our expense levels and investment plans on sales estimates. A significant portion of our expenses and investments is fixed, and we may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if our sales are less than expected.

43

When rolling out our new mattress lines through our direct-to-consumer sales channel, we identified a need for internal controls to avoid delays in the timely delivery of our new mattress products and to improve the customer’s experience. Also, we have experienced rapid growth in our employee base, and the need to implement controls and procedures for improving employee training and retention. Competition for employees where our production facilities are located also has increased the costs for employee retention. We have implemented improved controls and procedures in an environment of continuous change but our use of resources may not be as effective as intended or we may need to apply more resources than expected to continue to make changes to improve our employee retention and effectiveness and the quality of our products and services over time. If we are unable to make continuous improvement, achieve greater efficiencies in our operating expenses and improve our products and services, our business could be adversely affected.

We may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.

In connection with the development and expansion of our business, we expect to incur significant capital and operational expenses. We believe that we can increase our sales and net income by implementing a growth strategy that focuses on (i) increasing our manufacturing capacity, including by establishing additional manufacturing locations; (ii) increasing our direct-to-consumer sales; (iii) expanding our wholesale distribution channel; (iv) opening our Company showrooms; (v) expanding our global sales; (vi) engaging global partners to improve distribution efficiencies and cost savings; and (vii) product assortment and category expansion.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity, including the additional cash we received and may have further access to under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 26, 2019 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among Purple LLC, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”), and Coliseum Co-Invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell, the “Lenders”), will be sufficient to fund anticipated operating expenses, growth initiatives and our other anticipated liquidity needs for the next twelve months, based on our current operating conditions. Our ability to obtain other capital resources and sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to support future growth strategies. If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors, pursue work-out options or other protective measures.

Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including approval from the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Adequate financing may not be available or, if available, may only be available on unfavorable terms. The restrictive covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may make it difficult to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us, and the Lenders may not agree to lend us additional funds. There is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our future operations or growth strategies. In addition, future equity or debt financings, including under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders. If we make additional borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue additional warrants to the Lenders on the same terms as the Incremental Loan Warrants. Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or, as described above, may be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain our growth and competitiveness or continue in business.

We have engaged in significant related-party transactions with affiliates and owners that may give rise to conflicts of interest, result in losses to the Company or otherwise adversely affect our operations and the value of our

We have engaged in numerous related-party transactions involving controlling persons and officers of the Company, as well as with other entities affiliated with controlling persons. Several of these transactions were entered into prior to the Business Combination. For example, since 2010, we have leased our facilities in Alpine, Utah from TNT Holdings, which is owned by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce. As we grow, and our needs change, we may need to negotiate a termination or modification of this lease, and we have recently amended this lease to shift responsibility from TNT Holdings to the Company for arranging certain types of insurance. We have leased a new facility in Lehi, Utah and moved our headquarters into that building during the first quarter 2020. The Company continues to lease the Alpine facility that was formerly the Company headquarters, for use in production, research and development and video production. We also may at some time purchase this Alpine facility from TNT Holdings. Tony and Terry Pearce, either personally or through one or more of their other entities, also have tangible property located in this Alpine facility that has not been clearly identified and separated from our property. Although we expected this tangible property to be either removed or identified and separated in 2019, this has not yet occurred. Tony and Terry Pearce pay no rent or other compensation to us to store such property in our leased facility. While there is currently no dispute over the lease, and we do not anticipate a dispute, there could arise in the future a dispute between the Company and Tony and Terry Pearce over this lease, or ownership of the property located at this facility.

Prior to the Business Combination, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Confidential Assignment and License Back Agreement with EdiZONE, an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce through their ownership of TNT Holdings, pursuant to which EdiZONE transferred tangible and intellectual property to us and we licensed back to EdiZONE certain intellectual property previously licensed by EdiZONE to third parties prior to the Business Combination in order to enable EdiZONE to continue to meet certain pre-existing license obligations to those third parties. EdiZONE and the Pearces have agreed to not modify or extend these third-party licenses and to not enter new third-party licenses. As these third-party license obligations end all rights under the license revert to the Company. These third parties include direct competitors to us that at the time of the Business Combination were not selling products through retail channels in which we were selling our products. One of these third parties is now a domestic competitor of ours, as it now sells mattresses through some of the same retailers through which we also sell our products. This competitor’s sales revenues have been increasing, resulting in increasing royalties paid to EdiZONE from this licensee. Another third-party licensee may make it difficult for us to expand into certain geographic regions, such as the European Union. Casey McGarvey, our Chief Legal Officer, is also entitled to receive a small percent of such royalties from EdiZONE related to these third-party licenses, in accordance with a small investment made in EdiZONE years before the Business Combination. While the current license back to EdiZONE, as amended following the Business Combination, is much narrower than the license that existed at the time of the Business Combination, these third-party licenses, including licenses by EdiZONE to our competitors, may lead to conflicts of interest between us and our insiders receiving royalties. At the time this agreement with EdiZONE was first entered into, Purple LLC had only Tony and Terry Pearce as directors. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the license to EdiZONE was amended to broaden our rights and narrow EdiZONE’s rights with the approval of our independent directors.

Prior to the Business Combination, we also entered into a Shared Services Agreement with other entities controlled by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce, including EdiZONE, which covered the provision of services to these entities by our employees. The Shared Services Agreement was terminated by us effective July 24, 2019. No legal or accounting services were provided by Purple LLC during 2019 prior to this termination.

Prior to the Business Combination, InnoHold, an entity owned by Terry and Tony Pearce and our controlling stockholder, also granted equity incentive awards in Purple LLC to certain key employees at that time. As a result of the structure of those awards being granted through a separate entity, the equity incentives were required, because of the structure of the Business Combination, to be exchanged for ownership units in InnoHold, to avoid those equity interests becoming of no value to the participants. Those participants’ ownership interests had certain restrictions, including vesting requirements. These equity incentives granted to key employees prior to the Business Combination are forfeited to the extent the grant to an employee is not yet fully vested at the time that such employee’s employment is terminated. Before and for a period of time since the Business Combination, all forfeitures occurring from departing employees have inured to the benefit of only the owners of InnoHold, and not all of our stockholders. This means that the forfeited equity did not increase our currently approved equity incentive pool. Because the forfeited equity resulting from these departures prior to this distribution was held at InnoHold, that forfeited equity did not replenish our equity incentive pool and could not be used for equity grants to those who have replaced and will replace these employees or for other purposes essential to the business. During 2019, to avoid future forfeitures from inuring only to the benefit of InnoHold’s owners, InnoHold distributed to the incentive participants their pro rata share of InnoHold’s ownership of Class B Stock in Purple Inc. and Class B Units in Purple LLC, after which any forfeitures would inure to the benefit of all of our stockholders. InnoHold distributed additional paired shares of Class B Stock in Purple Inc. and Class B Units in Purple LLC which also will be subject to the same vesting requirements and result in forfeitures inuring to the benefit of all shareholders. Our current equity incentive pool, as approved by the stockholders prior to the Business Combination in the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, did not account for the departure, before this distribution by InnoHold, of such key employees who had existing equity grants through InnoHold, and there is a risk that we will have to seek approval from the Board and stockholders to refresh the equity incentive pool earlier than anticipated at the time of the Business Combination because of the unanticipated need to use shares from the existing pool to hire and retain other key employees needed to achieve the Company’s growth objectives. If the equity pool is not refreshed, there is a risk that we may not be able to hire and retain such key employees. If the equity pool is refreshed with authorized shares of the Company that are issued in accordance with our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, our stockholders will be diluted. Also, this distribution by InnoHold to the equity incentive participants has caused us to incur administrative expenses related to the distributions, the management of the differing vesting schedules and compliance with their rights under the distribution agreements. In addition, the calculations of the distributive share and related income tax withholdings with respect to holders of InnoHold’s Class B Units, as well as the processes by which such distributions and withholdings are made, are highly complex. As a result, there is a risk that the recipients of such distributions or other third parties may claim that we have miscalculated the distribution or income tax withholding amounts or failed to timely pay the taxes. The cost of responding to such claims, including but not limited to the diversion of management’s attention from our operations and defense or settlement costs, could negatively impact our operations and financial results.

In connection with the Business Combination, Purple LLC also entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lenders which was guaranteed by Purple Inc. The lenders also are stockholders and warrant holders of the Company and appointed one director to serve on our Board, Adam Gray. Further, on February 26, 2019, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Purple LLC and the Lenders thereto, and each of the related documents, including the issuance of additional warrants to the Lenders, was closed and an incremental loan was funded. In connection with the funding of the incremental loan, we issued to the lenders warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock.

On March 27, 2020, this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended to allow Purple LLC at its election a 5% paid-in-kind interest deferral for the first two quarters of 2020. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a negative covenant was removed so that there would not be an event of default if Lenders acquired 25% or more ownership of the Company. The exercise of rights under this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by the Lenders may create conflicts of interest between us and Mr. Gray. Should additional credit be granted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue to the Lenders additional incremental warrants on similar terms which could cause additional dilution of all shareholders’ interests.

Our future growth and profitability depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve and maintain sufficient production capacity to meet customer demands.

We manufacture our mattresses using our proprietary and patented Mattress Max machinery to make our Hyper-Elastic Polymer® cushioning material. Because of the unique features of our Mattress Max machines, new machines are not readily available and must be constructed. We also have experienced inefficiencies in sourcing of materials and production of finished products. We have taken steps to improve our processes and capabilities, but if we are unable to maintain our improvements and continue our improvement initiatives to increase efficiencies or if we are unable to promptly and efficiently open our new Georgia manufacturing facility, we may not be able to keep up with demand which would harm our business. If we are unable to construct new Mattress Max machines and implement them into our production process in a timely manner, if our existing Mattress Max machines are unable to function at the desired capacity, or if we are unable to develop replacements for the existing Mattress Max machines, our production capacity may be constrained and our ability to respond to customer demand may be adversely impacted. We manufacture mattresses and other products using components provided by third-party suppliers. If those third-party suppliers are unable to provide us with such components or if our assembly capacity is insufficient our ability to respond to customer demand may be adversely impacted. This would negatively impact our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability.

Disruption of operations in our manufacturing facilities, including as a result of, among other things, workplace injuries, pandemics or natural disasters, has and could increase our costs of doing business or lead to delays in shipping our products.products and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our ability to grow our business.

 

We have twothree manufacturing plants, which are located in Alpine, Utah, Grantsville, Utah, and Grantsville, Utah.McDonough, Georgia. We have signed a lease for a third manufacturing plantbegan operations on March 3, 2021 in McDonough, Georgia that is not yetGeorgia. In the future we may also enter into leases for additional manufacturing products. Although we can produce some of our products at both Utah sites, we have consolidated production of certain products at each site. Therefore, theplants.

The disruption of operations of our manufacturing facilities particularly where manufacturing has been consolidated, for a significant period of time, or even permanently, or disruptions to the scheduled build-out of the Georgia facility such as through a closure related to the COVID-19 pandemic or the loss of thea lease, may increase our costs of doing business and lead to delays in shipping our products to customers and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our ability to grow our business. In addition, the occurrence of workplace injuries or other industrial accidents at one or more of our manufacturing plants has required, and may require in the future, that we suspend production or modify our operations, which could lead to delays in manufacturing and shipping our products to customers. Likewise, acts of workplace violence may require us to temporarily suspend production or modify our operations. Such delays could adversely affect our sales, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition. Because bothtwo of our currently operating manufacturing plants are located within the same geographic region, regional economic downturns, natural disasters, closures due to COVID-19, the unavailability of utilities as a result of climate events or otherwise, or other issues could potentially disrupt alla significant portion of our manufacturing and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business. On March 18, 2020, Magna, Utah was the epicenter of a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that was felt approximately 20 miles away at our Grantsville, Utah manufacturing plant but not felt at our Alpine, Utah manufacturing plant. Since that date, there have been approximately one-thousand aftershocks. Though no damage occurred at either manufacturing plant from the 5.7 earthquake or its aftershocks, continued or increased earthquake activity in the area could disrupt manufacturing and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business.

We face competition from many manufacturers (including competitors that primarily manufacture and import from China and other low-cost countries), traditional brick-and-mortar retailers and online retailers, including direct-to-consumer competitors. Participants in the Comfort Industry compete primarily on price, quality, brand name recognition, product availability and product performance and compete across a rangeresults of distribution channels.

A numberWe recently experienced an incident involving our manufacturing equipment that resulted in the death of one of our significant competitors offer products that compete directlyemployees. As a result, we ceased using such equipment while we evaluated the safety of our manufacturing equipment and identified and implemented safety improvements. In addition, once safety improvements were implemented and manufacturing resumed, we experienced unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues while ramping up to normal production. These delays in production limited our ability to fill customer orders, which has adversely affected our financial results. Other incidents could result in further production delays, which could adversely affect our operating performance and reputation with our products. Anycustomers. While we have lowered our risk of future safety incidents by committing significant financial resources and time to implement safety improvements, these safety improvements may cause our production output to decrease and could materially adversely affect our operating results and our ability to grow our business.

The occurrence of this and other such competitionincidents could also result in investigations by established manufacturersor the imposition of fines from regulatory authorities or require us to implement corrective actions to address the causes of such incidents, which could require the expenditure of significant resources and retailers or new entrants into the market could have a material adverse effect onmay adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. Comfort Industry manufacturersoperations. Further, the occurrence of such incidents may result in litigation, including personal injury or workers’ compensation claims, which could also adversely affect our financial condition and retailers are seeking to increase their channelsreputation. While we maintain insurance coverage for certain types of distribution and are looking for new ways to reach the consumer. Like us, many newer competitors in the mattress industry have begun to offer “bed-in-a-box” or similar products directly to consumers through the Internet and other distribution channels. Some of our established competitors have begun to offer “bed-in-a-box” products as well. Many of our competitors source their products from countrieslosses, such as China and Vietnam, where the costsinsurance coverage may be lower than our costs. Companies providing forinsufficient to cover all losses that may arise.

We depend on executive employees, and if we lose the distributionservices of mattresses online or through retail stores, such as Amazon and Walmart, also have begun to offer competing products in their respective channels. In addition, retailers outsidemembers of the U.S. have integrated vertically in the furniture and bedding industries, and it is possible that retailers may acquire other retailers or may seek to vertically integrate in the U.S. by acquiring a mattress manufacturer.

Many of our current and potential competitors may have substantially greater financial support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, mature distribution methods, and more established relationships in the industry than we do and sell products through broader and more established distribution channels. These competitors, or new entrants into the market, may compete aggressively and gain market share with existing or new products, and may pursue or expand their presence in the Comfort Industry. We cannot be sure we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. We have limited ability to anticipate the timing and scale of new product introductions, advertising campaigns or new pricing strategies by our competitors, which could inhibit our ability to retain or increase market share, or to maintain our product margins. Our current and potential competitors may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing, and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing. Also, due to the large number of competitors and their wide range of product offerings,executive team, we may not be able to continue to differentiaterun our products through value, styling or functionality from those of our competitors. business effectively.

Our products are also typically heavier than others and some markets we wish to expand into will not support delivery of our heavy products through parcel services or other affordable home delivery services, limitingfuture success depends in part on our ability to serve the market.

One competitor, which has been a licenseeattract and retain key executive, merchandising, marketing, sales, finance, operations and engineering personnel. If any of EdiZONEour executives cease to be employed by us, or if our growth or other changes in circumstances require executives with additional skill sets, we would have to hire replacement or additional qualified personnel. Our ability to successfully attract and hire other experienced and qualified executives cannot be assured and may be difficult because we face competition for over fifteen years, uses substantially similar technology tothese professionals from our Hyper-Elastic Polymer materialcompetitors, our suppliers and Purple Gridother companies operating in its own mattress, topper and pillow products sold through branded retail stores domesticallyour industry and in Canada. This competitor has been growing its salesour geographic locations.   Departures and now distributes its products through wholesale partners with retail locations where our mattresses are sold. This competitor may continue to increase its sales and expand into additional distribution channels whichany delay in replacing executives could erode our sales in those retail locations and channels. The continuing growth of this single competitor could adversely affect our business.

A consolidation of the domestic market for foam may increase the prices for foam in the geographical market in which we purchase foam, which could adversely affect our business. We source a specialized type of foam from a supplier who has been in bankruptcy, and the result of that litigation may affectsignificantly disrupt our ability to grow and pursue our strategic plans. While we believe our current executives have benefitted and will continue to obtain that specialized foambenefit us, finding qualified replacements is time-consuming, takes Company resources, and require uscan disrupt our growth and achievement of strategic plans. We do not maintain key-person insurance for members of our executive management team.

Regulatory requirements relating to modifythe manufacture and disposal of mattresses may increase our product offerings, lose sales or incur increased expenses that could adversely affect our cash flows, margins and profitability.

In addition, the barriers to entry into the retail bedding industry are relatively low. New or existing bedding retailers could enter our marketscosts and increase the competition we face. Competition in existing and new markets may also prevent or delay our ability to gain relative market share. Anyrisk of the developments described above could have a material adverse effect on our planned growth and future results of operations.

We will face different market dynamics and competition as we develop new products to expand our presence in our target markets. In some markets, our future competitors may have greater brand recognition and broader distribution than we currently enjoy. We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in those markets due to the lack of recognition of our brands, lack of customer acceptance, lack of product quality history and other factors. As a result, any new expansion efforts could be costlier and less profitable than our efforts in our existing markets. If we are not as successful as our competitors are in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be impacted negatively and we could lose market share, any of which could materially harm our business.

If we are unable to effectively compete with other manufacturers and retailers of mattresses, pillows and cushions, our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

We may be subject to personal injury, property damage and product liability claims for the products that we sell or related to the Company showrooms we will operate. Any personal injury, property damage or product liability claim made against us, whether or not it has merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend, resulting in adverse publicity, or damage to our reputation, and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, any negative publicity involving our vendors, employees, labor contractors, delivery contractors and other parties who are not within our control could negatively impact us.

Further, the products we sell are subject to regulation by theThe U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and similar stateother jurisdictions have adopted rules relating to fire retardancy standards for the mattress industry. Some states and internationalthe U.S. Congress continue to consider fire retardancy regulations that may be different from or more stringent than the current standard. In addition, these regulations require manufacturers to implement quality assurance programs and encourage manufacturers to conduct random testing of products. These regulations also require maintenance and retention of compliance documentation. These quality assurance and documentation requirements are costly to implement and maintain. If any product testing, other evidence, or regulatory authorities. Suchinspections yield results indicating that any of our products couldmay not meet the flammability standards, we may be required to temporarily cease production and distribution or to recall products from the field, and we may be subject to recalls and other actions by these authorities. Product safety concerns may require us to voluntarily remove selected products from our stores. Such recalls and voluntary removalfines or penalties, any of products can result in, among other things, lost sales, diverted resources, potential harm to our reputation and increased customer service costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We previously voluntarily reported to the CPSC concerning a potential defect in an accessory product supplied to us by third parties. After its review, CPSC staff closed the case with no action by the Commission. We are providing repair parts to customers with affected products as a warranty matter and are continuing to monitor the issue.

We anticipate at this time 40% of our customers who purchased this product will desire to receive our improvement which we will ship to them at no cost. Since we will incur the cost of this improvement, if our estimate is too low, we may incur additional expenses. Contacting customers with this improvement also may result in an increase in warranty claims or claims of injury or damage prior to receiving the improvement that has not yet been communicated to us. If a customer is harmed by a product failure there also could be litigation and expenses related to a claim of personal injury, whichoutcomes could harm our brand andbusiness, reputation, and negatively affect our operating results. 

We maintain insurance against some forms of personal injury, property damage and product liability claims, but such coverage may not be adequate for liabilities actually incurred. A successful claim brought against us in excess of available insurance coverage, or any claim or product recall that results in significant adverse publicity against us, may have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.

 

Future salesThe CPSC adopted new flammability standards and related regulations which became effective nationwide in July 2007 for mattresses and mattress and foundation sets. Compliance with these requirements has resulted in higher materials and manufacturing costs for our products and has required modifications to our information systems and business operations, further increasing our costs and negatively impacting our capacity. Some states and the U.S. Congress continue to consider fire retardancy regulations that may be different from or more stringent than the CPSC standard. Adoption of multi-layered regulatory regimes, particularly if they conflict with each other, could increase our costs, alter our manufacturing processes and impair the performance of our Class A Stock byproducts which may have an adverse effect on our existing stockholdersbusiness.

Also, California recently enacted laws effective in 2021 requiring mattress retailers delivering mattresses via common carrier in California to offer to pick up their customers’ old mattresses at no cost to the customer. Additionally, California, Rhode Island and Connecticut have all enacted laws requiring the recycling of mattresses discarded in their states. State and local bedding industry regulations vary among the states in which we operate but generally impose requirements as to the proper labeling of bedding merchandise, restrictions regarding the identification of merchandise as “new” or otherwise, controls as to hygiene and other aspects of product handling, disposal, sales, resales and penalties for violations. We or our suppliers may cause our stock pricebe required to fall.

The market price of our Class A Stock could decline as a result of sales by our existing stockholders inincur significant expense to the market, or the perceptionextent that these salesregulations change and require new and different compliance measures.

New legislation aimed at improving the fire retardancy of mattresses, regulating the handling of mattresses in connection with preventing or controlling the spread of bed bugs could occur. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate. In addition, subsequent public issuancesbe passed, or requiring the collection or recycling of our stock would cause the interest of each current Purple Inc. stockholder to be diluted.

The founders, Tony and Terry Pearce, through InnoHold control a majority of the shares of Class B Stock of the Company which constitutes approximately 31% of all ownership interests in the Company at June 30, 2020. The founders already have exchanged 23.9 million of their Class B Stock for Class A Stock and sold them. Also, at this time, CCP and Blackwell own a substantial percentage of the shares of Class A Stock of the Company and warrants for additional Class A Stock. Any of these shareholders may choose to sell shares of common stock. The founders particularly may decide to liquidate additional large portions of their interests. The amount of shares they are able to sell, if sold in large blocks or relatively close to each other in time,discarded mattresses, could result in downward pressure on the price of our Class A Stock.

Purple LLC’s level of indebtedness could adversely affect Purple LLC’s and our ability to meet its obligations under its indebtedness, react to changesproduct recalls or in a significant increase in the economy or its industry and to raise additional capital to fund operations.

Ascost of June 30, 2020, Purple LLC had total debt of $42.1 million outstanding, comprised of $41.6 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $0.5 million in capital lease obligations. Under the original Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we were allowed to defer 7% of the 12% quarterly interest payments and add those deferred payments in the outstanding debt balance. In March 2020, Purple LLC entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The purpose of this Amendment is to allow Purple LLC to defer the remaining 5% of interest for the quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020 in an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the Amendment, we were allowed to defer and capitalize the full amount of the interest payments due on March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Amendment increased the total debt outstanding by approximately $1.1 million.

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to stockholders. For example, it could:

make it more difficult to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration of, such indebtedness;

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

48

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements or to carry out other aspects of its business;

limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements or to carry out other aspects of our business;

limit our ability to make material acquisitions or take advantage of business opportunities that may arise; and

place us at a potential competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.

We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affectoperating our financial and operational flexibility.

Future operating flexibility is limited in significant respects by the restrictive covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and we may be unable to comply with all covenants in the future.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement imposes restrictions that could impede Purple LLC’s and the Company’s ability to enter into certain corporate transactions, as well as increases our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, by limiting our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our business and industry. These restrictions will limit our ability to, among other things:

make capital expenditures in excess of $20 million;

incur capital lease obligations in excess of $10 million;

enter into future asset-based loans in excess of $10 million;

guarantee additional debt;

pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any capital stock;

make certain payments, dividends, distributions or investments; and

merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of Purple LLC’s assets, other than with respect to the Business Combination.

business. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain negative covenants that restrict the incurrence of indebtedness unless certain incurrence-based financial covenant requirements are met. The restrictions may prevent Purple LLC and the Company from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of the business and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. Further, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides that Tony Pearce, Terry Pearce, and InnoHold, together, no longer controlling at least 25% of the outstanding voting power of the Company will result in an event of default. In addition, if we determine that we need to take any action that is restricted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will need to first obtain a waiver from the Lenders. Obtaining such waivers, if needed, may impose additional costs on the Company or we may be unable to obtain such waivers. Purple LLC’s abilityfailure to comply with these restrictive covenants in future periods will largely depend on its ability to successfully implement its overall business strategy. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions couldvarious regulations may result in a default, whichpenalties, the inability to conduct business as previously conducted or at all, or adverse publicity, among other things. Adoption of multi-layered regulatory regimes, particularly if they conflict with each other, could result inincrease our costs, alter our manufacturing processes and impair the acceleration of Purple LLC’s debt. In the event of an acceleration of Purple LLC’s debt, Purple LLC could be forced to apply all available cash flows to repay such debt, which would reduce or eliminate distributions to us, which could also force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Certain outstanding warrants could be exercised and result in dilution of all shareholders without any concurrent payment or other benefit to the Company.

In connection with the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we issued to the Lenders, in a private placement, warrants (the “Incremental Loan Warrants”) to purchase 2.6 million sharesperformance of our Class A Stock. The Incremental Loan Warrants are initially exercisable at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. In May 2020 Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce, individually or together, no longer own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company, and pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, the exercise price was reduced to $0. As a result, the Incremental Loan Warrantsproducts which may be exercised without any further consideration paid to us, resulting in further dilution to existing shareholders. In addition, if we choose to make additional borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue to the Lenders additional warrants on the same terms as the Incremental Loan Warrants.

Certain outstanding warrants held by former members of Global Partner Sponsor, LLC (the sponsor for Global Partner Acquisition Corp., our predecessor) and CCP and its affiliates may be exercised on a cashless basis, without any further consideration paid to us. In addition, in the event that the last sales price of our common stock reported has been at least $24.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within a thirty (30) trading-day period, we may elect to redeem our outstanding warrants (other than those held by former members of Global Partner Sponsor, LLC and certain warrants held by CCP and its affiliates) at a redemption price of $0.01 per warrant, or we may, alternatively, require such warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis. If we require such warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis, we will be required to issue shares of our Class A Common Stock without any further consideration being paid to us, which would result in further dilution to existing shareholders.

Although we may be entitled to tax benefits relating to additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions as a result of the tax basis step-up we receive in connection with the exchanges of Class B Units into our Class A Stock and related transactions, we will be required to pay InnoHold 80% of these tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

InnoHold and other owners of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions, exchange their Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. The deemed exchanges in the Business Combination and any exchanges pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Purple LLC. These increases in tax basis may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any applicable foreign, state or local tax authority may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge. In addition to the step up in basis in the initial merger transaction, there have been 26.6 million exchanges of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock for shares of Class A Stock as of June 30, 2020.

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to InnoHold of 80% of certain tax benefits, if any, that we realize as a result of these increases in tax basis and of certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including income or franchise tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are the obligation of the Company and not of Purple LLC. The actual increase in our allocable share of the Company’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of shares of our Common Stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s preliminary estimate of the liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from the distribution of the cash consideration to InnoHold in connection with the Business Combination and tax basis increases as a result of the step up in basis in the initial merger transaction and exchanges of 26.6 million Paired Securities was approximately $81.5 million. Due to the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to which the Tax Receivable Agreement liability relates, only $78.7 of the $81.5 million has been recorded to date ($0.5 million in 2019 and an incremental $78.2 million through June 30, 2020). The additional $2.8 million is expected to be recorded in the third and fourth quarters of the year ending December 31, 2020. To the extent the Company realizes tax benefits in future years, or in the event of a change in future tax rates, or if payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are required to be accelerated, this liability may exceed the estimated liability.

Because not all of the relevant factors described above are known at this time with respect to the exchanges that have occurred, and none of the relevant factors are known with respect to future exchanges (whether this year or in subsequent years), except as estimated above, we cannot yet with certainty determine the amounts (if any) that would or will be payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, we expect that as a result of the possible size and frequency of the exchanges and the resulting increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Purple LLC, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreementbusiness. We are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the holders of units.

InnoHold will not be requiredalso subject to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made tovarious health and environmental provisions such holders will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, after the determination of such excess. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, if any, and we may not be able to recoup such excess, which could materially impair our financial condition and adversely affect our liquidity.

For illustrative purposes, if all of the 17.5 million Paired Securities outstanding as of June 30, 2020 were exchanged for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and the fair market value of the Class A Stock were equal to $26.16 per share (the closing price of a share of our Class A Stock on August 3, 2020), our aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be, including the estimated $81.5 million liability described above, approximately $197.6 million payable in estimated amounts ranging from $4 million to $22 million over a 15-year period. Of the additional approximately $116.1 million amount, approximately $111.5 million relates to the exchange of Paired Securities16 CFR Part 1633 (Standard for the 16.8 million sharesFlammability (Open Flame) of Class A Stock into which the Paired Securities currently held by InnoHold are exchangeable. The foregoing estimate of our aggregate liability is based on certain assumptions, including that there are no changes in relevant tax law, that we are able to fully depreciate or amortize our assets, and that we recognize taxable income sufficient to realize the full benefit of the increased depreciation and amortization of our assets in each of the next 15 tax years. These assumptions may not be accurate with respect to all or any exchanges of Paired Securities for Class A Stock. As a result, the amount and timing of our actual aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement may differ materially from our estimates depending on a number of factors, including those described above and elsewhere in this report.Mattress Sets).
