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 Q2 2015 and 2014 was $388.0 million and $332.5 million, respectively, a 17% increase. The growth in revenue was primarily due to a 15% increase in orders, coupled with a 5% increase in average order size, from $177 to $185. Although our average order size has increased in recent years, we expect the rate of increase to lessen as our sales mix shift into home and garden products tapers. 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 our driving a higher proportion of our sales using such promotions. In addition, the percentage of revenue we defer from orders taken but not delivered was higher due to increased sales volume at quarter end. We also experienced some slowing of revenue growth in our natural search marketing channel which we believe was due to changes that Google made in its search engine algorithms, to which we are responding.
Gross profit - Gross profit for Q2 2015 and 2014 was $73.7 million and $62.6 million, respectively, an 18% increase, representing 19.0% and 18.8% gross margin for those respective periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a continued shift in sales mix into higher margin home and garden products, partially offset by increased promotional activities including coupons, site sales, and Club O Rewards (which we recognize as a reduction of revenue) due to our driving a higher proportion of our sales using such promotions.
Sales and marketing expenses - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $28.1 million and $23.5 million for Q2 2015 and 2014, respectively, a 19% increase, and representing 7.2% and 7.1% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue was primarily due to increased spending in the display ad and brand advertising marketing channels, partially offset by decreased spending in the television marketing channel.
Contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure) and contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Contribution for Q2 2015 and 2014 was $45.6 million and $39.1 million, respectively, a 17% increase, representing 11.7% and 11.8% contribution margin for those respective 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.
Our calculation of contribution and contribution margin is set forth below (in thousands):

Contribution and contribution margin | | $ | 45,570 |

| | 11.8% |
Technology expenses - Technology expenses totaled $24.1 million and $21.4 million for Q2 2015 and 2014, respectively, a 12% increase, and representing 6.2% and 6.4% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation of $1.5 million and an increase in staff-related costs of $1.0 million.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses - G&A expenses totaled $19.4 million and $15.9 million for Q2 2015 and 2014, respectively, a 22% increase, and representing 5.0% and 4.8% of total revenue for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.9 million in staff and travel related costs and a $1.0 million expense from a contract termination fee relating to our disengagement as a sponsor of Marvel Universe LIVE! “We are no longer a sponsor of or affiliated with Marvel Universe LIVE! and were very disappointed in our experience with Feld Entertainment, Inc., the show’s producer. Unfortunately, I am unable to elaborate further,” said CEO Patrick M. Byrne.
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 may make investments in other technology companies. These expenses or investments may be material, and, coupled with the seasonality of our business, may lead to reduced income as compared to prior periods or to losses in some periods.
Overall, our revenue growth drove higher gross profits and growth in contribution. These increases were partially offset by higher technology and G&A expenses as part of our growth and innovation efforts. As a result, operating income increased by $289,000 to $2.1 million in Q2 2015 as compared to $1.8 million in Q2 2014.
Other income, net - Other income, net totaled $1.2 million and $524,000 for Q2 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased Club O Rewards breakage of $745,000 due to increased participation in the Club O Rewards program, including our recently introduced Club O Silver program.
Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $62.3 million and $50.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Free cash flow totaled $17.0 million and $27.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $10.0 million decrease was due to a $21.5 million increase in capital expenditures including $23.3 million of costs related to the land and development of the company’s future headquarters. The increase in capital expenditures was partially offset by an $11.4 million increase in operating cash flows.
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.

Cash and working capital - We had cash and cash equivalents of $105.5 million and $181.6 million and working capital of $2.8 million and $15.3 million at June 30, 2015 and Dec. 31, 2014, respectively. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to capital expenditures including the development costs for our future headquarters, and our investments in other technology companies.

This press release and the Aug. 6, 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 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 Dec. 31, 2014, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2015 and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2015. 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.
