Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“This was our first full year operating as a dedicated U.S.-focused enterprise without the complexities of our former European operations. It also marked the completion of our multiyear accounting transition to a fully consignment-based model with more than 90% of our business now on consignment. By removing these historical headwinds and accounting transitions, we've cleared the path for the higher-margin scalable growth you see today.” James Reinhart, CEO
“I believe this establishes the financial baseline for our business moving forward, predictable growth and an exceptional gross margin profile and the operating leverage required to generate consistent free cash flow.” James Reinhart, CEO
