Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us on today's conference call to discuss thredUP's Fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results. With us are James Reinhart, thredUp's CEO and Co-Founder; and Sean Sobers, CFO. We posted our press release and supplemental financial information on our Investor Relations website at ir.thredup.com. This call is also being webcast on our IR website, and a replay of this call will be available on the site shortly. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that we will make forward-looking statements during the course of this call, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our guidance and future financial performance, market and demand, growth prospects, business strategies and plans. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ materially. Words such as anticipate, believe, estimate and expect as well as similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You can find more about these risks, uncertainties and other factors that could affect our operating results in our SEC filings, earnings press release and supplemental information posted on our IR website. In addition, during the call, we will present certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from GAAP measures. You can find additional disclosures regarding these non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations of comparable GAAP measures in our earnings release. Now, I'd like to turn the call over to James Reinhart.

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm James Reinhart, CEO and Co-Founder of thredUP. Thank you for joining us for thredUP's fourth quarter 2021 and fiscal year 2021 earnings call. We're excited to share another quarter of strong financial results and business highlights. In addition to our financial results, we will offer some perspective on the performance of Remix, the European resale company we acquired last year as well as progress in our Resale-as-a-Service, RaaS offering. Beyond our results, given we're one year into being a public company, I thought it would also be useful to remind investors of our strategy, sustainable competitive advantages, and the investments we're making to widen our moat and strengthen our leadership position in the still nascent retail market. To conclude today's call, Sean Sobers, our Chief Financial Officer, will talk through our fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 financials in more detail and provide our outlook for the first quarter and full year 2022. We'll close out today's call with a question-and-answer session. Let me start by acknowledging that since we last reported earnings in November, the world and investor sentiment have changed significantly. I want you to know that we understand this. We are operating in a different macro context. And while volatility like this can stress a young public company, we welcome this increased scrutiny. I believe great companies with winning strategies in high-growth markets with strong management teams always outperform when times are difficult. We at thredUP are committed to being the kind of team you can count on for predictability and transparency. I also want to make it clear that we are on a mission to build a generation-defining company that changes the way the world shops and offers in a new era of sustainable shopping. We will always aim to balance the demands of near-term scrutiny with our commitment to investing for long-term value creation. Now to the results. For the fourth consecutive quarter, we achieved record revenue, record gross profit, record active buyers and record orders. Our revenue of $72.9 million is an increase of 68% year-over-year. This is our fourth consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth. We finished the quarter with active buyers and orders increasing 36% and 69% year-over-year, respectively. We also expanded year-over-year EBITDA margin by a record 1,400 basis points in Q4, shrinking our EBITDA loss from minus 28% to minus 14% in a quarter that still included heavy operations investments. Now let me talk about Remix. In Q4, we closed the agreement to acquire Remix, one of Europe's leading fashion resale companies. Since the acquisition, we have moved swiftly to consolidate all of our thredUP earnings in support of Remix's growth and margin expansion. Dan DeMeyere, one of thredUP’s first employees and formerly our SVP of Engineering and Chief Product Officer, now leads our international effort alongside Lyubo Klenov, Remix's Founder and CEO. Rebecca Oman, who reported to me while leading thredUP's new ventures department and who helped incubate our Resale-as-a-Service business here in the U.S., is supporting Dan and Remix as we drive supply growth and expand further into Western Europe early next year. To expand beyond Remix’s current operations in nine Central and Eastern European countries, we are building a new facility in the EU with processing and storage capacity to sustain broader European growth. We remain confident our acquisition of Remix will accelerate thredUP's European growth plans and enable us to capture share in the emerging European resale market, a market that global data estimates will grow to $39 billion by 2025. Turning to thredUP's Resale-as-a-Service or RaaS business, we recently launched a number of new resale shops and Clean Out Kit programs, bringing our total number of RaaS brand clients to 28, making us by far the leading provider of resale services to brands in the U.S. We have visibility to adding as many as a dozen more brand clients by year-end with some very prominent and large brands moving onto our platform. Keep in mind, our RaaS platform enables us to power white-label enterprise solutions for global brands like Walmart and Adidas as well as lightweight solutions for smaller brands like Madewell and heritage brands like Michael Stars. With RaaS, brands and retailers are empowered to deliver quality and seamless resale experiences to their customers across three main service modules: our Clean Out service, our Cash Out Marketplace, and our full-service resale shops. This suite of offerings is called Resale 360 and our new core offering now allows brands to get started in resale for free, in some cases, within 30 days. RaaS enables brands to drive revenue, customer growth and circularity in ways that were previously not possible. RaaS has also begun to exhibit the flywheel network effect that we expected would come over time. As more brands join our platform, we gain access to a greater share of closet cleanup happening across America. This supply that comes in from our varied RaaS clients can then be sorted and used to power the growth of branded resale shops of other clients, which is to say the more RaaS clients, the wider the sources of supply and the larger the potential growth of each client's resale shop. Recall that thredUP benefits from RaaS not only because it amplifies our ongoing supply advantage, but also because it increases our sell-through and our return on assets. In addition, our premium and enterprise platform solutions are designed to support the expansion of our long-term profitability metrics by creating a recurring high-margin revenue stream. We continue to believe that every brand will have a resale strategy, and thredUP will be the leading provider of end-to-end resale solutions for the retail industry. This brings me to the next topic I'd like to review, which is thredUP's sources of ongoing competitive advantage and the investments we're making to extend our leadership in the resale industry. The power of our competitive advantage comes from the compounding effects of three hard problems we solved. First, we've built a reverse logistics supply chain that has created a massive supply advantage in the resale market. Remember, thredUP has still never spent any direct marketing dollars acquiring sellers, and yet we have seemingly endless supply in our marketplace. Second, we have built world-class infrastructure, technology and software to process single SKU apparel at scale. When our Dallas, Texas facility is complete, thredUP will have network capacity to hold up to 16.5 million unique items in the U.S. alone. Third, we have built a data-driven, managed marketplace that connects buyers and sellers on our platform. Our managed marketplace removes friction between buyers and sellers, enabling us to significantly grow the number of customers we serve over time and to increase the number of orders they place. Importantly, the success of our marketplace is built on the foundation of the proprietary resale data that we've collected over the past decade. We ingest millions of data points on the items we process, sell and reject, the items that are added or removed from carts and so forth. It's this vast trove of data, combined with the algorithms and models that sit on top of that data, that help us improve our acceptance rate, merchandising, photography, pricing and marketing capabilities with the goal of consistently growing our active buyers, expanding our margins and driving increased sell-through. Of course, the not-so-secret but I think often misunderstood economic engine that underlies our model is that most of our clothing is listed on consignment. This means we have little inventory risk and we boasted a negative working capital cycle measured in months, not weeks. As I have said from our very first public filing, our strategy has been developed with a deeply calculated approach about what it takes to build and sustain competitive advantage over time. We believe that every day, our supply advantage increases, our infrastructure moat widens and the network effects of our marketplace grow. Given this context in my earlier remarks about the greater scrutiny on young companies regarding capital allocation and paths to profitability, I want to specifically call out the investments we're making in service of our strategy. First, our three U.S. infrastructure investments. As we discussed last quarter and earlier in my remarks, our flagship distribution center just south of Dallas, Texas is coming online later this year. We have been making steady progress since commencing the build-out in Q4 '21. The facility is nearly 600,000 square feet, will be our largest and most automated distribution center. When fully scaled, we expect our four-level facility will increase our total network live capacity by more than 150%. We expect to begin processing items towards the end of Q2 this year or early Q3, with demand fulfillment to begin sometime in Q3. Beyond our flagship distribution center, we opened two processing centers, one in Grapevine, Texas and one in Lebanon, Tennessee. Both of these facilities focus exclusively on Clean Out Kit processing and will serve as immediate feeders to our larger facilities in Dallas and Atlanta. As a result of this increased capacity, we are exiting Q1 hitting our internal processing targets after facing some headwinds from Omicron earlier in the quarter. Our bag backlog is trending down nicely and now sits at eight weeks from twelve weeks just a quarter ago. We expect these three U.S. infrastructure investments, Dallas, Grapevine, and Lebanon will negatively impact our EBITDA by approximately $6 million in 2022. Note that these investments are all in service of growth in 2023 and beyond as only a small percentage of revenue will flow through our Dallas, Texas facility this year. Importantly, given our expectations for improvements in automation and total throughput capacity, we do not expect to add any new distribution centers to our network until 2025. Second, we will continue to invest in Remix's growth in Europe. Our European investments include a new larger processing facility in Sofia, Bulgaria that comes online later this year, in addition to growing the headcount to scale our broader business in Europe. We believe these expenses are essential as we grow thredUP's European opportunity. Third, we are investing in research, development and data science capabilities across our network. We believe these investments in new systems, new technologies and added headcount will yield several benefits. First, we will be able to lower our per unit processing costs. Second, we'll be able to improve our pricing and payout systems to further expand margins. And third, we can upgrade our marketing, merchandising, and direct response capabilities such that we can acquire customers at lower costs, while at the same time, increasing lifetime value. Fourth and finally, anticipated headcount growth from 2021 to 2022 is highly concentrated in areas that support being a new public company, like HR, legal, finance, and accounting. We expect these incremental costs to total $3.1 million in 2022. We expect meaningful leverage in SG&A as we digest these costs over time. In conclusion, as I wrap up, let me speak to a bright spot of the last few months, the New York Fashion Act. At its core, this bill aims to hold major retailers accountable for their environmental and social impact. I think this is an important milestone. To me, it indicates that government and policymakers are starting to understand the critical role they play in reducing the fashion industry's environmental impact. Consider this the opening salvo in what is likely to evolve into emission standards for fashion. Whether pushed by governments or pulled by consumers, I believe every brand will look to resale as a way to reduce their impact on the environment and to drive fashion circularity. thredUP's platform will be well positioned to serve these emerging interests over time. In the meantime, we're going to stay focused on doing what we do best, unlocking high-quality supply, building increasingly automated infrastructure and leveraging our technology, software and data to serve our growing base of buyers, sellers and RaaS clients. With that, I'll now turn it over to Sean to walk through our financial results and our guidance.

Thanks, James, and again, thanks, everyone, for joining us on our fourth quarter and full year 2021 earnings call. I'll begin with an overview of our results and follow with guidance for the first quarter and full year. I will discuss non-GAAP results throughout my remarks. Our GAAP financials and a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP are found in our earnings release, supplemental financials, and our upcoming 10-K filing. We are extremely proud of our Q4 results, especially delivering our fourth consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue and gross profit dollar growth on both an organic and consolidated basis. One of the most exciting Q4 developments was our acquisition of Remix. While we plan to report and guide on a consolidated basis going forward, in some cases, we will speak more specifically about thredUP U.S. and Remix individually during the transitional period. For the fourth quarter of 2021, revenue exceeded our expectations, driven by the acquisition of Remix and growth in thredUP U.S. Revenue totaled $72.9 million, an increase of 68% year-over-year. Consignment revenue increased 31% year-over-year, while product revenue grew 205%. Product revenue's outsized growth is largely due to our Q4 acquisition of Remix, a business that currently derives the majority of its revenue from a direct sales model. For the full year, we are proud to deliver revenue of $251.8 million, an increase of 35% year-over-year. Active buyers and orders are amongst the most important KPIs that we used to track the business, and we finished 2021 achieving record levels for both. For the trailing 12 months, active buyers rose 36% to 1.7 million. We ended the fourth quarter and full year reaching 1.7 million and 5.3 million orders, increasing 69% and 34% year-over-year, respectively. Since we believe that gross profit improvement is the best way to measure our progress, we will provide additional details this quarter in order to illustrate the strength and opportunities in both of our individual businesses. For the fourth quarter of '21, thredUP U.S. gross margins expanded to 71.3%, a 280 basis point increase over 68.5% for the same quarter last year. thredUP U.S. gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $44.1 million, representing growth of 48% year-over-year. Offsetting a $6 million increase in freight, gross margin expansion came as a result of expanded automation, larger distribution centers, and more items per order. Remix gross margins were 37.2%. Remix's structurally lower gross margin profile is primarily due to their direct sales model, wholesale outsourcing, and the lower level of automation. Over time, we plan to migrate the business towards higher-margin consignment away from wholesale supply and invest in increased automation in order to be more in line with the current thredUP business model. Driven by our fourth quarter acquisition of Remix, consolidated gross margin was 66.1%, a 240 basis point decline over the same quarter last year. Gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $48.2 million, representing growth of 62% year-over-year. For the fourth quarter of '21, GAAP net loss was $17.9 million compared to a GAAP net loss of $17 million for the fourth quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $10.5 million or 14.5% of revenue for the fourth quarter of '21 and approximately 1,400 basis point improvement compared to the adjusted EBITDA loss of $12.2 million or 28.2% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2020. This improvement was largely driven by operating leverage at thredUP U.S. Q4 GAAP operating expenses increased by $20.5 million or 45% year-over-year. Approximately half of this increase is related to higher operations, product and technology costs, while the remaining is split equally between marketing and SG&A. Of the total increase, one-fourth was related to the addition of Remix. We continue to invest in the expansion of processing capacity, marketing efforts, and technology infrastructure to support our growth. Turning to the balance sheet. We began the fourth quarter with $266.9 million in cash and investments and ended the quarter with $213.1 million. Keep in mind that the acquisition of Remix reduced our cash by approximately $30 million. In addition, we spent about $5 million related to CapEx in Q4. Next, I would like to provide some thoughts on our commitment to top-line growth while walking through our path to profitability. We remain focused on our belief that investing ahead of growth not only fuels our top line and future quarters and years, but it's also an investment in our ever-widening competitive moat. The combination of which is the foundation for strong growth and increasing profits over time. Our business model necessitates this approach. In order to grow sales, we must first have the processing and storage capacity in place to support future listings growth and accelerated turns. We believe the investments in technology, data science, and automation will further strengthen our advantages, which we expect to be the drivers for strong top line growth and profit improvements over the long term. To illustrate that we build out our infrastructure to support our future, not our current demand, I'd highlight the fact that we ended 2021 with a DC network capacity utilization rate of 77% among our three operational DCs. Put another way, by the end of 2021, we were using only 5 million or so slots of our fully scaled 6.5 million-unit total capacity. This includes our 3.5 million-unit capacity Atlanta DC, currently our most automated DC, which opened in 2020. This is to say that in 2021, we were carrying the cost of a 6.5 million-unit DC network, but only using 77% of it. By the end of 2022, when our Texas DC is included in our DC network, we expect to be utilizing less than 7 million slots of our ultimate 16.5 million-unit total capacity, representing a utilization rate of less than 50%. While we will be carrying many of the costs of a 16.5 million-unit network in the near term, we will have ample runway to leverage these costs as we grow into our capacity and expand our utilization over time. This investing for growth dynamic is a prominent theme this year as we take on several significant infrastructure investments in both the U.S. and in Europe that will impact our margins before they contribute to top line growth. The largest of these is our Texas DC, which will more than double our current capacity and eventually be our largest and most automated facility. It is currently in the process of being built out, will begin processing midway through the year and will ramp toward peak efficiency over time. We also recently opened two processing centers, which can open faster with fewer costs and DCs while also diversifying the geography of our labor needs. They will be entirely dedicated to processing Clean Out Kits, which will help us further make progress on our supply backlog, facilitate new listings and accelerate turns. We are also investing in our European business by expanding the team and building out a larger and more automated distribution center in Sofia, Bulgaria. With all this in mind, I would like to now share our financial outlook for the first quarter '22. We expect revenue in the range of $70 million to $72 million, gross margin in the range of 65% to 67%, an adjusted EBITDA loss of 19% to 17% of revenue, and basic weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 99.4 million. For the full year of 2022, we expect revenue in the range of $330 million to $340 million, gross margin in the range of 64% to 66%, an adjusted EBITDA loss of 15.5% to 13.5% of revenue, and basic weighted average shares outstanding of approximately 100.5 million. In addition to lapping stimulus-driven growth from Q1 of '21, we also expect COVID-related staffing disruptions to pressure in Q1 as well. As you know, listings are a key driver of future revenue in our business. When COVID surged in December of '21 and January of '22, we experienced unprecedented levels of personal leave among our DC team, slowing down processing and thus listings growth, a dynamic that negatively impacted revenue in early Q1. Since then, as the surge has subsided, we have returned to expected processing capacity and plan to exit Q1 processing Clean Out Kits at record rates. As discussed, we have a number of investments this year that will pressure EBITDA. In Q1, our ramp-up of our Texas DC and processing centers will account for approximately an extra $1.5 million in operations, product and technology expenses. Finally, we anticipate an incremental $1 million negative impact year-over-year as a result of higher freight costs. For the full year of 2022, we expect revenue growth to be driven both by thredUP U.S. and Remix. While we continue to expect thredUP U.S. gross margins to improve in '22 as we have done consistently over the past several years, we expect consolidated gross margins to contract year-over-year due to Remix's structurally lower margin profile. We would expect consolidated gross margins to be broadly stable this year, though Remix's offsetting impact will increase throughout the year as it grows as a percentage of sales. We are planning to transition Remix towards a mostly consignment model over the next two to three years, which we would expect to improve gross margin performance over the longer term. We are expecting 2022 EBITDA margin to show a slight improvement year-over-year as we digest a number of expenses associated with our Texas DC build-out, processing investments, and European expansion. We expect that the DC and processing centers will impact EBITDA by approximately $6 million, weighted towards the first half of the year. Additionally, we expect a $6 million negative impact from elevated rate costs, which we will partially offset as we expand our automation, scale into larger DCs, and innovate on shipping logistics. We are planning to spend approximately $35 million to $40 million in CapEx this year of an estimated $80 million to $85 million to support our U.S. infrastructure growth. Given the scale of our 2022 investments, we believe this year's capital expenditures and expenses are laying the groundwork for commensurate future revenue growth and ultimately, profit growth. As a result, we expect that the step-up change in capacity that we are building out this year should push out the need for another similar capital-intensive distribution center until 2025. In closing, I want to reiterate that we remain focused on the same strategy we have discussed since our IPO a year ago. We continue to invest in infrastructure that supports our future revenue growth and widens our competitive moat while at the same time making planned progress towards our long-term margin goals. In line with this, we are making several outside investments in our infrastructure this year. These will result in incremental expenses that will pressure our P&L primarily in the first half of '22, but we look forward to leveraging those assets as we drive up our capacity utilization rate over time. Finally, our commitment to growing our capacity by 150% with our Texas DC reflects how firmly we believe in the magnitude of the global resale opportunity and should support our planned growth until 2025 before we need to build an additional distribution center in the U.S. We remain confident that we are laying the foundation for steady growth and ultimately increasing profits and are excited for the year ahead. James and I are now ready for your questions.

Two from me. Within Europe, I think you guys gave the Remix gross margin for the quarter. Could you give the revenue contribution for the fourth quarter as well? And then within the European business, any insight over the past week or two on consumer sentiment or behavior that you guys would call out? And then a second question for Sean. Just the EBITDA progression through the year, it seems like you're expecting things to kind of smooth out. Just anything we should keep in mind quarter-to-quarter would be great.

Yes. Okay. This is Sean. Yes, from a Remix revenue perspective, I think the last kind of information we gave you guys was 2020 was about $34 million. They've been growing since then. We're not going to get really specific about what their revenue is, but you can assume that they're growing; we're growing to kind of do some math there. I'll let James give you a little view on kind of the sentiment in Europe.

Yes. I mean I think Europe has been under a lot of pressure, Eastern Europe, obviously. But nothing that would, I think, is changing our point of view on the broader kind of long-term European strategy, but obviously, we have a team in Ukraine. Our hearts go out to them. We've been monitoring them. But I don't think that we have any more information to provide at this point, but certainly something we're keeping a close eye on. And then I'll let Sean talk about EBITDA progression over the rest of the year.

Yes. And then from an EBITDA perspective, like the rate overall, we expect a slight improvement quarter-over-quarter as we go throughout the year. DC07 won't really come online for revenue until about Q3. So you have some headwinds as you go through the first half that we talked about in the prepared remarks. And you'll start to see that benefit more in Q4 as we get more up to speed in generating revenue out of DC07 or the Dallas DC.

Sean, just a little housekeeping on all those numbers you rattled out. But I think you said core thredUP gross profit was $44.1 million, which would make the Remix gross profit of $4.1 million and that a 37% margin revenue would be $11 million in the quarter. And if I annualize that, your gross profit for core thredUP in '22 based on the high end of your guidance is below 20% growth. So I guess the question is, are those numbers right? Or am I just way off? And why is the core growing less than 20%? What's going on with kind of core U.S. consignment? And then the second question is, how do we bridge from the mid-60s up to your long-term gross profit margin target of 75 to 78. Can you just help us get there given the Remix impact?

Yes. Looking at gross margins, we expect to shift towards the levels thredUP experienced before Remix, moving into the 70s as we adopt a more consignment-based model across Europe. This transition should provide some momentum compared to our current situation, alongside the operational improvements and increased efficiency we anticipate with our new processing centers. Overall, our margins will progress from where we are now back to the previous thredUP standalone levels and eventually align with our long-term goals. Regarding the comparison between thredUP and Remix, I believe we provided sufficient details to help you understand the revenue implications. I'm not certain about your percentage for full-year growth; it seems to differ from what we expect.

I'm curious about the utilization rate specifically for Atlanta; I assume it's below the 77% figure you mentioned. Regarding the distribution capacity not being needed until 2025, I recall you stated there would be an 18 to 24 months build-out cycle around the IPO. I want to confirm if that's still accurate or if there's been a shift, perhaps to balance profitability with growth investments. Additionally, could you elaborate on the strategy behind the new Clean Out Kit processing centers? What advantages does this provide in terms of speed and lead time, as well as any economic or margin effects of this expansion?

Yes. Dylan, it's James. Yes, I mean, I think when we went public, I think we were planning on every 18 to 24 months for these distribution centers because that had been the historical trend. But we did not anticipate at that point the opportunity to build a bigger facility in Dallas. So the facility in Dallas is more than 3x larger than Atlanta, right, which was more than 2.5x the size of our previous facility. And so I think as we probably signaled previously, we were sort of evaluating whether we would need to continue building facilities of that scale at that rate. And I think what we've been able to see with our pricing strategies and our turnover, right, that we can maintain strong growth rates within the constraints of that facility, which makes us think we don't really need to start biting off a new one until 2025. So I think that gives us a lot of confidence in how the business leverages over the next year or two. And then I think that's a natural segue into your question about processing centers, because those are much more of a lightweight facility build-out and they operate near our bigger hubs. We can turn those on, access more processing power, shorter lease durations, but ways that I think really diversify our ability to process bags over time. And I think as you might have caught in my remarks, because of that, we're seeing the bag backlog processing times come down. So we think the whole recipe for how ops is scaling and leveraging, I think, is in a really good place.

Two questions. First, really strong growth in buyers. Can you talk about what drove that? And how are you thinking about buyer growth implied in guidance either for 1Q or for the full year? And then secondly, just looking at the gross margins, the low end of the guide, I think you're implying a bigger decline for the year versus what you expect for 1Q despite the new DCs coming online, I think you said in 3Q. I just wanted to make sure what's driving that.

Yes, Anna, it's James. On both of those points, the growth in active buyers in Q4 was primarily due to our consolidation of Remix, which we finalized in October. This led to significant growth compared to what we would have experienced with thredUP on its own. However, for the upcoming year, we anticipate more consistent growth rates across both businesses. The consolidation of Remix in 2022 is a key factor affecting our gross margin, as their business relies entirely on direct product revenue, which operates at much lower margins than thredUP's consignment model. As Remix continues to expand, it will represent a slightly larger share of our revenue, which will naturally lower our margins. Our plan is to shift Remix to a consignment model, similar to thredUP, but this will take a couple of years to implement, as we want to ensure a smooth transition without negatively impacting the business. We are confident in the long-term gross margins for the combined entity, but we will need to adjust to Remix in the short term.

Yes. And Anna, just to be clear, we expect active buyers as a thredUP standalone U.S. business to grow throughout '22 as well.

This is Nathan Feather on for Lauren. Just looking at your guidance implies a bit of an acceleration from 1Q to the rest of the year. Was that just due to the processing limitations due to Omicron? Or any other puts or takes you can talk to there? And then obviously, an investment year in fiscal '22 kind of laying the groundwork for future leverage. Can you talk through how that changes the path to profitability versus what you had laid out before?

I think in the first quarter, as Sean and I mentioned, we faced significant processing challenges in December and January due to Omicron. This clearly impacted our ability to get items online and generate revenue. Our new processing centers in Lebanon and Grapevine, Texas, have just started operating in the last month, significantly increasing our processing capacity as we move through the year. As we handle more goods, it allows us to grow more quickly, which is reflected in the accelerating numbers throughout the year. Regarding our path to profitability, we remain committed to making investments that promote sustainable growth and profits in the long term. We believe we are making the right investments to capitalize on what we see as a large market. These infrastructure investments will demonstrate how profits can be achieved over time, making it clearer for investors.

Yes. Keep in mind that, that statement we said we won't need another distribution center like Dallas until the earliest like 2025. So all that investment now is going to continue to pay off through '23, '24 until it gets to '25.

I just have two. First, could you just talk a little bit about the parallel that you see for Remix in Europe relative to thredUP in the U.S.? And what gives you confidence about the opportunities for Remix to follow on that thredUP maturity curve? And then second, I just wondered if you could talk about what you view as the constraints on growth. I think it historically has been a supply-side constraint and on that supply side, it seems like labor is the biggest constraint now. Is that right? And how do you see that evolving throughout 2022?

Yes. Michael, I think on Remix, I think as we said last quarter, it looks a lot like thredUP did six, seven years ago from a revenue and growth profile. And so I think our ability to run a similar playbook as we have in front of over the last few years, but deployed that with all of the things that we've learned. To me, it feels like we have a lot of confidence that Remix can end up on a very similar track to thredUP, not just in its sustainable growth, but also just its ability to kind of capture this ongoing expanding TAM and be able to do that in a consignment margin profile that looks very similar to thredUP, but I think we said that that's going to take 2 to 3 years as we transition that business from when we closed the deal in October. So I think we continue to feel confident in Remix looking a lot like thredUP over the next few years. As for like constraint to growth, yes, I mean, it's often in two-sided markets like this one. It's supply that drives that. And for us, it's really about supply processing power. And so part of our investments in bringing on a new DC in Dallas and adding the processing centers is to really accelerate that processing. And I think that gets back to Nathan's questions earlier, right? That's what really drives acceleration as we move through the year is our ability to process more and more goods. So I think that story is very consistent to how it's been at thredUP over the last few years.

I wanted to ask about, I guess, the building blocks for EBITDA for 2022. I think based on the margin rates and revenues you gave, the actual loss in dollars should be about $10 million to $15 million more in 2022 versus '21. I think you said $6 million comes from the DCs and the processing centers. I think you said $30 million of incremental public company costs. Is the remainder just losses from Remix? Or is there anything else that the source of investment that we should be thinking about?

You have a piece related to the increased costs and logistics as well. That's kind of the missing piece, I think you have.

I think in the last quarter, you had mentioned strategically lowering prices and it was, I think, around 15% in the third quarter. What does it look like in the fourth quarter? And how do you think about your go-forward game plan?

Yes, Dana, it's James. As I mentioned last quarter, we rely on data to identify pricing opportunities. Not every price has been reduced by 15%; this figure is an average across 35,000 brands we sell. Currently, we are performing similar calculations, so there is no new update regarding pricing. We will continue to use data to determine the best strategies for improving our business and serving our customers, as we have always done.

Got it. And it's nice processing times. What is your expectation as we go through 2022 in terms of what it looks like?

Yes. I mean I think, look, we've made huge progress since last quarter and the new processing centers coming online, and DC07 coming online. So I think we're feeling confident that it's moving in the right direction. As I said last time, though, there's always this elasticity experience where, as our processing times come down, consumers and sellers pile into our business. So I think it's too soon to say, Dana, when it's going to be back down to our steady rate of two to three weeks. But I have a lot of confidence that the investments that we're making right now to drive processing are the right ones, meaning the customer is going to respond positively to that.

Got it. And just lastly, last time you were seeing an uptick in terms of dress-up wear for the holiday season. Any new trends out there that you're seeing in terms of product sell-through categories?

Well, we're definitely seeing consumers really seeing the shift to warm weather come earlier just like some vacation staples, like maxi dresses, for example, they were up 55% year-over-year in February. We saw shorts were up 68% year-over-year in February. Miniskirts were up 58% year-over-year in February. So I think a number of these categories suggest consumers are ready to get out in the world, continue to be true. And so those are sort of a few of the trends that we saw.

I have two quick questions. First, could you explain the reasoning behind scaling internationally at this point in your journey and how you view the balance between category expansion and geographic expansion? Secondly, when you went public and shared your IPO models, I believe RaaS was not included in your forecast. Is that still not part of your model or guidance moving forward?

Yes. Matt, look, I think we believe that the international opportunity in resale is massive. The European resale market is very large. And so we felt like it was a great opportunity with a business like Remix that was very similar to thredUP in lots of ways. We thought it was the right time to do that; we won’t comment on other categories at this point. But we continue to feel very confident in the decision to buy Remix and expand into Europe, essentially doubles the TAM for thredUP. As for kind of the IPO modeling forecast,

We're past that. So yes, anything that we know about RaaS is in our forecast.

Can you give me a little more color on your expectations for Europe in Q1 and this year and how that's perhaps changed over the last few weeks? If this call was a month ago, is your top line guidance for the year materially higher?

Brian, yes. I mean, look, we continue to think that Europe is a great opportunity for us. I think what's happening in Russia and the war in Ukraine, we don't expect that to be a huge drag on the business over the course of the year. But look, we acknowledge that there's some uncertainty there. But look, I don't think that it's going to materially change our point of view that international growth is a big opportunity for us and that Remix is a great business that we have in Europe. So yes, I mean, I think we're watching it closely, but I don't think our point of view on the opportunity in Europe has really changed.

Yes, specifically, Brian, just like we generate no revenue from Ukraine. We get no supply from Ukraine. But obviously, the burden on what's happening in Europe is hanging on the consumer. So we're paying close attention to that.

Got it. And just a quick follow-up. So the stock in your peers has had a tough few months here. What do you think you're not getting enough credit for? And what's your long-term investors be most excited about? I think people fundamentally misunderstand some of the competitive advantages that we're building in all the dollars that go into building infrastructure growth create real compounding returns over time. So I think as we've been consistent, we think when you're building infrastructure, you're widening your moat, you're deepening your advantage. And that really materializes over a number of years. And I always point to people that this is very much the same playbook that Amazon ran very early in its life, which was to build real infrastructure that really delivers for the consumer and then to be able to ride that out over time. And I'm a big believer that that strategy pays off, but it takes some time to pay off. But we're not going to waver from making the right decisions on how to build those competitive advantages to serve the customer. And I think that's the thing, Brian, people often don't quite appreciate.

And that does conclude today's question and answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to management for any additional or closing remarks.

Thanks, everyone, for joining us for our conference call. Thank you for the great questions. Thank you to the thredUP team for all their hard work. And just to call out to acknowledge all the folks we have in Ukraine that are suffering through a really difficult time, we want to give them a shout out and appreciate all their incredible hard work in service of our customers. So, with that, we'll wrap it up. Thank you.

Thank you. That does conclude today's conference. We thank you all for your participation, and you may now disconnect.
