Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include those related to revenue recognition, including the returns reserve, valuation of inventory, software development costs, stock-based compensation, redemption value of redeemable convertible preferred stock, incremental borrowing rates related to lease liability, fair value of the liability component of convertible senior notes, valuation of deferred taxes, and other contingencies. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per common share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income (loss) available or attributable to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. Before the IPO, the Company’s redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible preferred stock were considered participating securities. However, the holders of such shares did not have a contractual obligation to participate in the Company’s losses. The Company’s convertible senior notes are participating securities as they give the holders the right to receive dividends if dividend or distribution declared to the common stockholders is equal to or greater than the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution as if the instruments had been converted into shares of common stock. No undistributed earnings were allocated to the participating securities as the contingent event is not satisfied as of the reporting date. For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per common share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares and assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes are not assumed to have been issued within the calculation, if their effect is anti-dilutive. Segments The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment as its chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. All long-lived assets are located in the United States and substantially all revenue is attributed to consignors and buyers based in the United States. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue from the sale of pre-owned luxury goods through its online marketplace and retail stores. Consignment and Service Revenue The Company provides a service to sell pre-owned luxury goods on behalf of consignors to buyers through its online marketplace and retail stores. The Company retains a percentage of the proceeds received as payment for its consignment service, which the Company refers to as its take rate. The Company reports consignment revenue on a net basis as an agent and not the gross amount collected from the buyer. Title to the consigned goods remains with the consignor until transferred to the buyer upon purchase of the consigned goods and expiration of the allotted return period. The Company does not take title of consigned goods at any time except in certain cases where returned goods become Company-owned inventory. The Company recognizes consignment revenue upon purchase of the consigned good by the buyer as its performance obligation of providing consignment services to the consignor is satisfied at that point. Consignment revenue is recognized net of estimated returns, cancellations, buyer incentives and adjustments. The Company recognizes a returns reserve based on historical experience, which is recorded in other accrued and current liabilities on the balance sheets (see Note 5). Sales tax assessed by governmental authorities is excluded from revenue. Certain transactions provide consignors with a material right resulting from the tiered consignor commission plan. Under this plan, the amount an individual consignor receives for future sales of consigned goods may be dependent on previous consignment sales for that consignor within his/her consignment period. Accordingly, in certain consignment transactions, a small portion of the Company’s consignment revenue is allocated to such material right using the portfolio method and recorded as deferred revenue, which is recorded in other accrued and current liabilities on the balance sheets. The impact of the deferral has not been material to the financial statements. The Company charges shipping fees to buyers and has elected to treat shipping and handling activities performed after control transfers to the buyer as fulfillment activities. All outbound shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs in cost of consignment and service revenue at the time revenue is recognized. The Company also generates subscription revenue from monthly memberships allowing buyers early access to shop for luxury goods. The buyers receive the early access and other benefits over the term of the subscription period, which represents a single stand-ready performance obligation. Therefore, the subscription fees paid by the buyer are recognized over the monthly subscription period. Subscription revenue was not material in 2020, 2019, and 2018. Direct Revenue The Company generates direct revenue from the sale of Company-owned inventory. The Company recognizes direct revenue on a gross basis upon shipment of the purchased good to the buyer as the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Direct revenue is recognized net of estimated returns, buyer incentives and adjustments. Sales tax assessed by governmental authorities is excluded from revenue. Cost of direct revenue is also recognized upon shipment to the buyer in an amount equal to that paid to the consignor from the original consignment sale, an amount equal to that paid as a direct purchase from a third party, or the lower of cost of the inventory purchased and its net realizable value. Incentives Incentives, which include platform-wide discounts and buyer incentives, may periodically be offered to buyers. Platform-wide discounts are made available to all buyers on the online marketplace. Buyer incentives apply to specific buyers and consist of coupons or promotions that offer credits in connection with purchases on the Company’s platform, and do not impact the commissions paid to consignors. These are treated as a reduction of consignment and service revenue and direct revenue. Additionally, the Company periodically offers commission exceptions to consignors to optimize its supply. These are treated as reduction of consignment and service revenue, and are reflected in the Company’s take rate. The Company may offer a certain type of buyer incentive in the form of site credits to buyers on current transactions to be applied towards future transactions, which are included in other accrued and current liabilities on the balance sheets. Contract Liabilities The Company’s contractual liabilities consist of deferred revenue for material rights primarily related to the tiered consignor commission plan, which are recognized as revenue using a portfolio approach based on the pattern of exercise, and certain unredeemed site credits, which were immaterial as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Contract liabilities are recorded in other accrued and current liabilities on the balance sheets and are generally expected to be recognized within one year. Contract liabilities were immaterial as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Cost of Revenue Cost of consignment and service revenue consist of shipping costs, credit card fees, packaging, customer service personnel-related costs, website hosting services, and consignor inventory adjustments relating to lost or damaged products. Cost of direct revenue consists of the cost of goods sold, credit card fees, packaging, customer service personnel-related costs, website hosting services, and inventory adjustments. Marketing Marketing expense is comprised of the cost of acquiring new consignors and buyers for our online platform and physical stores, including the cost of television, digital and direct mail advertising. Marketing expense also includes personnel-related costs, including stock-based compensation, of employees engaged in these activities. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $45.8 million, $40.5 million, and $36.6 million in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Operations and Technology Operations and technology expense is comprised of costs associated with the authentication, merchandising and fulfillment of goods sold through our online marketplace and retail stores, as well as general information technology expense. The principal component of operations and technology expense is personnel-related costs, including stock-based Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expense is principally comprised of the personnel-related costs for employees involved in sales, finance and administration, and includes stock-based compensation expense. Selling, general and administrative expense also includes allocated facility and overhead costs and professional services, including accounting and legal advisors. Stock-based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense related to employees and nonemployees is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. Compensation expense is recognized in the statements of operations over the period during which the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award (the vesting period of the applicable award) using the straight-line method. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of each purchase under the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) is estimated at the beginning of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Prior to the IPO, certain employees have sold their shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s existing investors. In such secondary sale transactions, the Company recorded the difference in purchase price and the fair value of such shares as compensation expense within selling, general and administrative in the statements of operations and a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the purchase date to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents primarily consist of investments in short-term money market funds and amounts invested in U.S. treasury securities. Restricted cash consists of cash deposited with a financial institution as collateral for the Company’s letters of credit for its facility leases and the Company’s credit cards. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no restricted cash. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash that sum to the total of the same amounts shown in the statements of cash flows (in thousands): December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 350,846 $ 154,446 $ 34,393 Restricted cash — — 11,234 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 350,846 $ 154,446 $ 45,627 Short-term Investments The Company has classified and accounted for its short-term investments as available-for-sale which are carried at fair value on its balance sheets. Available-for-sale securities with remaining maturities of 12 months or less are classified as short term and available-for-sale securities with remaining maturities greater than 12 months are classified as long term. Available-for-sale investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices and other observable market data. The Company records any unrealized gains and losses within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit), of which there were none as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13 described below under "Recent Adopted Accounting Pronouncements." In accordance with the adopted guidance, the Company replaced the incurred loss approach with an expected loss model and the Company records allowances for available-for-sale debt securities rather than to reduce the carrying amount for other-than-temporary impairment as was followed under the other-than-temporary impairment model prior to January 1, 2020. Realized gains and losses and other-than-temporary impairments on investments are included in Other income and expense, net. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not recorded any impairments due to credit loss. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivables are recorded at the amounts billed to buyers and do not bear interest. Accounts receivables result from credit card transactions, the majority of which are settled within two business days. Inventory, Net Inventory consists of finished goods arising from goods returned after the title has transferred from the buyer to the Company as well as finished goods from direct purchases from vendors and consignors. The cost of inventory is an amount equal to that paid to the consignor or vendors. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value using the specific identification method and the Company records provisions, as appropriate, to write down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. After the inventory value is reduced, adjustments are not made to increase it from the estimated net realizable value. Our provisions to write down obsolete and excess inventory to net realizable value have not been material for 2020 and 2019. Return reserves, which reduce revenue and cost of sales, are estimated using historical experience. Liabilities for return allowances are included in other accrued and current liabilities on the balance sheets and were $18.3 million and $17.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Included in inventory on the Company’s balance sheets are assets totaling $7.4 million and $7.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, for the rights to recover products from customers associated with its liabilities for return reserves. Property and Equipment, Net Property and equipment, net is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives of our assets are as follows: Proprietary software 3 years Furniture and equipment 3-5 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life Software Development Costs Proprietary software includes the costs of developing the Company’s internal proprietary business platform and automation projects. The Company capitalizes qualifying proprietary software development costs that are incurred during the application development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when two criteria are met: (1) the preliminary project stage is completed and (2) it is probable that the software will be completed and used for its intended function. Such costs are capitalized in the period incurred. Capitalization ceases and amortization begins when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all significant testing. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, net and capitalized proprietary software, are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable or that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of assets to future undiscounted net cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining life. If the assets are considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value over the revised shorter useful life. Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, consulting, banking and accounting fees relating to the anticipated equity offering, are capitalized and offset against proceeds upon the consummation of the offering. In the event an anticipated offering is abandoned, deferred offering costs will be expensed. In 2020, offering costs of $6.7 million related to the issuance of convertible notes was allocated to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. Of the total offering costs, $0.8 million was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $5.9 million was recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the debt on the balance sheet. In 2019, offering costs of $0.3 million were expensed. As of December 31, 2019, $5.3 million deferred offering costs were offset against the IPO proceeds within stockholders’ equity (deficit) on the balance sheets. Accretion of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock The carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock that is probable of redemption is accreted to redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using the effective interest method until redemption is no longer probable. Increases to the carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock recognized in each period are charged to additional paid-in capital, or in the absence of additional paid-in capital, charged to accumulated deficit. Convertible Preferred Stock Warrant Liability The Company issued convertible preferred stock warrants in conjunction with the issuance of debt. Such warrants were recorded as other noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheets at their estimated fair value because the shares underlying the warrants may obligate the Company to transfer assets to the holders at a future date under certain circumstances such as a deemed liquidation event. The warrants are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and the change in fair value, if any, is included in other expense, net. The Company continued to remeasure these warrants until the earlier of the expiration, exercise or conversion of the convertible preferred stock warrants into common warrants, which occurred upon the completion of the IPO on July 2, 2019. In connection with the completion of the IPO, the convertible preferred stock warrants automatically converted into common stock warrants. Upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock warrants, the related convertible preferred stock warrant liability was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. Leases Prior to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2020 Leases are reviewed for classification as operating or capital leases. For operating leases, the Company recognizes rent on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company records the difference between cash payments and rent expense recognized as a deferred rent liability included in other accrued and current liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities on the balance sheets. Incentives granted under the Company’s facility leases, including allowances to fund leasehold improvements, are deferred and are recognized as adjustments to rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2020 Contracts that have been determined to convey the right to use an identified asset are evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease. For the Company’s operating leases, the Company records a lease liability based on the present value of the lease payments at lease inception, using the applicable incremental borrowing rate. The Company estimates the incremental borrowing rate by developing its own synthetic credit rating, corresponding yield curve, and the terms of each lease at the lease commencement date. The corresponding right-of-use asset is recorded based on the corresponding lease liability at lease inception, adjusted for payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, initial direct costs incurred and any tenant incentives allowed for under the lease. The Company does not include optional renewal terms or early termination provisions unless the Company is reasonably certain such options would be exercised at the inception of the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion are included on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company has elected the practical expedients that allows for the combination of lease components and non-lease components and to record short-term leases as lease expense on a straight-line basis on the statements of operations. Variable lease payments are recorded as expense as they are incurred. The Company has finance leases for vehicles and equipment, and the amounts of finance lease right-of-use assets and finance lease liabilities have been immaterial to date. Convertible Senior Notes Convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash or other assets, or partially in cash, upon conversion, are separately accounted for as long-term debt and equity components (or conversion feature). The accounting applies to the Company’s convertible senior notes (the “Notes”) issued in June 2020. The debt component represents the Company’s contractual obligation to pay principal and interest and the equity component represents the Company’s option to convert the debt security into equity of the Company or the equivalent amount of cash. Upon issuance, the Company allocated the debt component on the basis of the estimated fair value of an identical debt instrument that it would issue excluding the conversion option and the remaining proceeds are allocated to the equity component. The bifurcation of the debt and equity components resulted in a debt discount for the aforementioned notes. The Company uses the interest method to amortize the debt discount to interest expense over the amortization period which is the expected life of the debt. Capped Call Transactions In June 2020, in connection with the issuance of its convertible senior notes, the Company entered into Capped Call Transactions (see Note 7). The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the holders of the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The capped calls are classified in stockholders’ equity as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and are not subsequently remeasured as long as the conditions for equity classification continue to be met. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the related debt based on the effective interest method. The Company presents debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt. A portion of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Notes issued in June 2020 was related to the equity component and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid in capital and is not amortized to interest expense over the estimated life of the related debt. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in loss in the period of enactment. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Concentrations of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and investments. At times, such amount may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company reduces credit risk by placing its cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments with major financial institutions within the United States. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance and there were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s total revenue for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Immaterial Correction of an Error in Prior Periods During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified an overstatement of consignment and services revenue and inventory, net as a result of an error in accounting for inventory associated with commissions paid outside of our normal payment cycle to consignors for returned merchandise. In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections The following table presents the effects of the immaterial error correction on the balance sheet and related statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock, convertible preferred stock, and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the period indicated (in thousands): As of December 31, 2019 As previously reported Adjustments As Adjusted Current Assets: Inventory, net $ 23,599 $ (1,683 ) $ 21,916 Total current assets 408,439 (1,683 ) 406,756 Total assets $ 466,930 $ (1,683 ) $ 465,247 Stockholders' equity (deficit): Accumulated deficit (354,506 ) (1,683 ) (356,189 ) Total stockholders' equity (deficit) 338,928 (1,683 ) 337,245 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity (deficit) $ 466,930 $ (1,683 ) 465,247 The following table presents the effects of the immaterial error correction on the statements of operations and net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted for the period indicated (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 As previously reported Adjustments As Adjusted Revenue: Consignment and service revenue $ 267,412 $ (1,683 ) $ 265,729 Direct revenue 50,625 — 50,625 Total revenue 318,037 (1,683 ) 316,354 Gross profit 203,206 (1,683 ) 201,523 Loss from operations (98,422 ) (1,683 ) (100,105 ) Loss before provision for income taxes (96,547 ) (1,683 ) (98,230 ) Net loss $ (96,746 ) $ (1,683 ) $ (98,429 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (100,101 ) $ (1,683 ) $ (101,784 ) Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted $ (2.11 ) (0.03 ) $ (2.14 ) Shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic and diluted 47,478,544 — 47,478,544 The following table presents the effects of the immaterial error correction on the statements of comprehensive loss (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, 2019 As previously reported Adjustments As Adjusted Net loss $ (96,746 ) $ (1,683 ) $ (98,429 ) Other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax Unrealized gain (loss) on investments 32 — 32 Comprehensive loss $ (96,714 ) $ (1,683 ) (98,397 ) The following table presents the effects of the immaterial error correction on the statements of cash flows (in thousands): Year ended December 31, 2019 As previously reported Adjustments As Adjusted Cash flows from operating activities: Net loss $ (96,746 ) $ (1,683 ) $ (98,429 ) Changes in operating activities and liabilities: Inventory, net (13,244 ) 1,683 (11,561 ) Net cash used in operating activities $ (54,490 ) $ — (54,490 ) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Company was an emerging growth company “EGC”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (JOBS Act). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company had elected to use this extended transition period to enable it to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date it (1) was no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. The Company chose to adopt new or revised accounting standards earlier than such time those standards apply to private companies and retain its election for the extended transition period, if early adoption is permitted for all entities. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. Because the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30, 2020, the Company ceased to be an emerging growth company and was deemed a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act as of December 31, 2020. As a result, the Company adopted all applicable standards retrospectively as of January 1, 2020 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach and applied it to all existing leases as of the adoption date, which allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings on the adoption date. The Company will continue to present prior period amounts under ASC 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which does not require the Company to reassess whether contracts that expired prior to the adoption date contained an embedded lease, reassess historical lease classification, or evaluate direct costs for leases that were in effect at the adoption date. As a result of implementing this guidance, the Company recognized $110.3 million in right of use assets as of January 1, 2020. The Company also recorded $12.8 million in current operating lease liabilities and $106.2 million in operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in its balance sheet as of January 1, 2020. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses |
