Overstock.com Reports Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
SALT LAKE CITY (July 31, 2007) — Overstock.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK) today reported quarterly financial results for the period ending June 30, 2007.
Dear Investor:
During Q2 we generated $14.9 million positive operating cash flow and $2.0 million positive EBITDA, excluding restructuring costs (“EBITDA excluding restructuring costs” is a non-GAAP number: see the reconciliation to operating income in the “Key financial and operating metrics” section below). Additionally, we generated $9.4 million positive trailing 12-month (“TTM”) operating cash flow. Our Q2 gross margins of 17.7% were a historical best for us. At this year’s start I suggested keeping an eye on contribution metrics (gross profits minus sales and marketing expenses): in Q2 our contribution margin was 12.3% (another record for us), and contribution profit grew 76% versus Q2 2006.
Two years is long to hold one’s breath, but sweet indeed is the air of $14.9 million positive operating cash flow.
Some data from the quarter:
· Revenue: $149.0 million for Q2 2007, down 6% from Q2 2006
· Gross margin: 17.7%, up from 14.0% in 2006 (and 16.0% in Q1)
· Gross profits: $26.3 million, up 18% from 2006
· Contribution margin: 12.3%, up from 6.5% in 2006 (and 8.9% in Q1)
· EBITDA (non-GAAP, excludes restructuring): $2.0 million vs. $(7.5) million in 2006
· Operating loss before restructuring (non-GAAP): $7.3 million
· Cash flow from operations (TTM): $9.4 million, up from $(39.8) million in 2006
· Net loss: $13.8 million or $0.58 loss per share
I look forward to our call, and as always, remain,
Your humble servant,
Patrick M. Byrne

For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007, operating losses were $29.7 million and $31.2 million, respectively.

Therefore, we believe that discussing our
