Key financial and operating metrics:
Investors should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Total net revenue - Total net revenue for Q4 2014 and 2013 was $470.4 million and $397.6 million, respectively, an 18% increase. The growth in revenue was primarily due to a 12% increase in orders, coupled with a 7% increase in average order size, from $149 to $159. These increases were partially offset by an increase in returns. Total net revenue for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013 was $1,497 million and $1,304 million, respectively, a 15% increase. The growth in revenue was primarily due to a 10% increase in orders, coupled with a 7% increase in average order size, from $158 to $169. These increases were partially offset by increased promotional activities including coupons, site sales, and Club O Rewards (which we recognize as a reduction of revenue) due to driving a higher proportion of our sales using those channels. The increases were also partially offset by an increase in the revenue we defer from orders taken but not delivered at year end due to higher average daily sales in the last week of the quarter. Although our average order size has increased in recent years, we expect the rate of increase to taper in the future.
Gross profit - Gross profit for Q4 2014 and 2013 was $85.4 million and $71.7 million, respectively, a 19% increase, representing 18.2% and 18.0% gross margin for those respective periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue. The increase in gross margin was largely due to improved efficiency in warehouse costs, and lower inbound freight and credit card fees, partially offset by increased promotional activities including coupons, site sales, and Club O rewards due to driving a higher proportion of our sales using those channels. Gross profit for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013 was $279.1 million and $247.7 million, respectively, a 13% increase, representing 18.6% and 19.0% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue. The decrease in gross margin was largely due to increased promotional activities including coupons, site sales, and Club O rewards due to driving a higher proportion of our sales using those channels.
Sales and marketing expenses - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $37.1 million and $31.2 million for Q4 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 19% increase, and representing 7.9% of total net revenue for both periods. Spending increased in the sponsored search and display ad marketing channels and spending
decreased for television advertising. Sales and marketing expenses totaled $109.5 million and $91.6 million for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 19% increase, and representing 7.3% and 7.0% of total net revenue for those periods. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue was primarily due to increased spending in the sponsored search and display ad marketing channels due to driving a higher proportion of our revenue through those channels.
Contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure) and contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Contribution for Q4 2014 and 2013 was $48.3 million and $40.5 million, respectively, a 19% increase, representing 10.3% and 10.2% contribution margin for those respective periods. Contribution for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013 was $169.6 million and $156.1 million, respectively, a 9% increase. Contribution margin was 11.3% and 12.0% for those periods.
Contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure - which we reconcile to "gross profit" in our statement of income) consists of gross profit less sales and marketing expense and reflects an additional way of viewing our results. Contribution margin is contribution as a percentage of total net revenue. We believe contribution and contribution margin provide management and users of the financial statements information about our ability to cover our operating costs, such as technology and general and administrative expenses. Contribution and contribution margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of contribution is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income.

Technology expenses - Technology expenses totaled $23.0 million and $18.4 million for Q4 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 25% increase, and representing 4.9% and 4.6% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in staff-related costs of $2.1 million and depreciation of $1.6 million. Technology expenses totaled $86.3 million and $71.8 million for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 20% increase, and representing 5.8% and 5.5% of total net revenue for those periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in staff-related costs of $7.6 million, increased depreciation of $3.7 million, and a $1.5 million increase in technical consulting.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses - G&A expenses totaled $23.5 million and $20.5 million for Q4 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 15% increase, and representing 5.0% and 5.2% of total revenue for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.6 million in staff and travel related costs, and a $926,000 increase in professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in legal costs. The decrease in legal costs is primarily due to defense costs and civil penalties totaling $6.8 million in Q4 2013 related to the California district attorney case, compared to defense costs and a judgment totaling $5.5 million in Q4 2014 related to a patent infringement case.
G&A expenses totaled $71.8 million and $68.2 million for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 5% increase, and representing 4.8% and 5.2% of total net revenue for those periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $7.2 million in staff and travel related costs and $2.0 million in professional fees, partially offset by a decrease of $7.1 million in legal costs. The decrease in legal costs is primarily due to defense costs and civil penalties totaling $13.9 million in 2013 related to the California district attorney case, compared to defense costs and a judgment totaling $6.0 million in 2014 related to a patent infringement case.
We continue to seek opportunities for growth by expanding our international sales and distribution footprint, through our crypto-initiatives, and through other means. As a result of these initiatives, we expect to continue to incur additional technology and G&A expenses, and these expenses may be material.
Other income (expense), net - Other income (expense), net totaled $536,000 and ($595,000) for Q4 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change is primarily due to increased Club O Rewards breakage of $660,000 due to increased participation in the Club O Rewards program, including our recently introduced Club O Lite program, and a decrease in unrealized losses on precious metals of $465,000. Other income (expense), net totaled $1.2 million and ($235,000) for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively. The change is primarily due to increased Club O Rewards breakage of $947,000 due to increased participation in the Club O Rewards program, including our recently introduced Club O Lite program, an increase of $306,000 in gift card breakage, and a decrease in unrealized losses on precious metals of $188,000.
Overall, our revenue growth drove higher gross profits and growth in contribution. These increases were offset by higher technology expenses as part of our innovation efforts. As a result, operating income decreased as compared to 2013.
Provision (benefit) for income taxes - Provision (benefit) for income taxes totaled $1.0 million and ($68.5) million for Q4 2014 and 2013, respectively. Provision (benefit) for income taxes totaled $4.4 million and ($68.0) million for fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in our income tax provision is primarily due to a $75.5 million deferred tax asset valuation release in Q4 2013 after concluding that it was more likely than not that we will realize our deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance release was partially offset by use of $7.0 million of our deferred tax assets in 2013.
Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $80.8 million and $83.6 million for the fiscal year 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Free cash flow totaled $39.5 million and $65.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The $26.1 million decrease was primarily due to a $23.3 million increase in capital expenditures including $16.7 million for the purchase of land and development costs for our future headquarters.
Free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our cash flows and liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and liquidity. Free cash flow, which we reconcile to “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities,” is cash flow from operations, reduced by “expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and
website development.” We believe that cash flows from operating activities is an important measure since it includes both the cash impact of the continuing operations of the business and changes in the balance sheet that impact cash. Also, we believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business since purchases of fixed assets are a necessary component of ongoing operations and free cash flow measures the amount of cash we have available for mandatory debt service and financing obligations, changes in our capital structure, and future investments, after we have paid our operating expenses. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our calculation of free cash flow is set forth below (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | |
| Year ended December 31, |
| 2014 | | 2013 |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 80,834 |
| | $ | 83,645 |
|
Expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and website development | (41,346 | ) | | (18,067 | ) |
Free cash flow | $ | 39,488 |
| | $ | 65,578 |
|
Cash and working capital - We had cash and cash equivalents of $181.6 million and $148.7 million and working capital of $15.3 million and $25.4 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to capital expenditures including the purchase of land and development costs for our future headquarters.
Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 include an immaterial revision to current and deferred tax assets and our provision for income taxes for 2013. The effect of the revision was to reduce current and long-term deferred tax assets by $284,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, with an offsetting increase of $4.1 million to our provision for income taxes for 2013.

This press release and the January 29, 2015 conference call and webcast to discuss our financial results may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact, including forecasts of trends. These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including the amount and timing of our capital expenditures, the mix of products we sell, the results of legal proceedings and claims and the amounts we spend relating to them, the extent to which we owe income taxes, competition, fluctuations in operating results, any difficulties we may encounter as a result of accepting Bitcoin as payment, any inability to raise capital if needed on acceptable terms, our efforts to expand both domestically and internationally, risks of inventory management and seasonality. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products and services we may offer, and difficulties with our infrastructure, our expectations regarding the benefits and risks of the credit facility we recently entered into for the purpose of, among other things, financing our construction of an office campus to serve as our corporate headquarters, our fulfillment partners or our payment processors, including cyber-attacks or data breaches affecting us or any of them. More information about factors that could potentially affect our financial results is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 27, 2014, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2014, our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2014, and our form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2014. These and our other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections, estimates and other forward-looking statements.
