Exhibit 99.1
ThredUp Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
•First quarter revenue of $79.6 million, representing an increase of 5% year-over-year.
•First quarter gross margin of 69.5% and an increase in gross profit of 8% year-over-year.
•Active Buyers of 1.7 million and Orders of 1.7 million in Q1 2024, representing an increase of 4% and an increase of 9%, respectively, year-over-year.
•Issued an updated 2024 financial outlook, including positive adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 2.0% to 4.0% and positive free cash flow on an annual basis.
Oakland, CA — May 6, 2024 — ThredUp Inc. (Nasdaq: TDUP, LTSE: TDUP), one of the largest online resale platforms for apparel, shoes, and accessories, announced today its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and updated full year 2024 financial outlook.
“We delivered another quarter of strong financial performance, demonstrating healthy gross profit growth and bottom-line leverage,” said ThredUp CEO and co-founder James Reinhart. “Looking ahead, we are focused on reshaping ThredUp into an AI-powered resale company by increasing investments in product, operations, and marketing, while reducing operating expenses and accelerating our path to free cash flow.”
First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
•Revenue: Total revenue of $79.6 million, an increase of 5% year-over-year.
•Gross Profit and Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled $55.3 million, representing an increase of 8% year-over-year. Gross margin was 69.5% as compared to 67.3% for the first quarter 2023.
•Net Loss: Net loss was $16.6 million, or a negative 20.8% of revenue, for the first quarter 2024, compared to a net loss of $19.8 million, or a negative 26.1% of revenue, for the first quarter 2023.
•Adjusted EBITDA Loss and Adjusted EBITDA Loss Margin1: Adjusted EBITDA loss was $0.7 million, or a negative 0.9% of revenue, for the first quarter 2024, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.6 million, or a negative 8.7% of revenue, for the first quarter 2023.
•Active Buyers and Orders: Active Buyers of 1.729 million and Orders of 1.651 million, representing an increase of 4% and an increase of 9%, respectively, over the first quarter 2023.
1 Adjusted EBITDA loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss margin are non-GAAP measures. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful.
Recent Business Highlights
•Reorganization to Support AI-Driven Operating Model: ThredUp reorganized several parts of the business, enabling it to take advantage of the emergent technological shifts in generative AI, which the company believes uniquely benefit its single-SKU model. As part of its strategic realignment, the company reduced its annualized operating expenses by approximately $17 million and its global corporate headcount by approximately 20%. As a result, the company will invest more in AI product developments, boost processing in its distribution centers, and increase marketing spend.
•AI Innovation: ThredUp launched a new AI search experience, as well as two new AI-powered tools that allow customers to thrift any style that inspires them.
•Launched Online Concept Store: As ThredUp accelerates its innovation pipeline, the company launched thredup.com/concept, an online concept store that provides a first look at new and upcoming product features and enhancements in its marketplace.
•Hired a New General Manager in Europe: ThredUp announced the appointment of Florin Filote as the company’s General Manager of Europe. Florin brings nearly two decades of experience in retail and ecommerce with an emphasis on building and scaling marketplace businesses and will oversee the company’s European business operations, which currently span nine countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
•Resale-as-a-Service® (RaaS®): ThredUp continued to grow its RaaS client roster, launching eight new resale programs with brands including ELOQUII, Veda, and Goldie. The company is looking to expand its RaaS footprint in Europe.
•Published 12th Annual Resale Report: In partnership with GlobalData, ThredUp released the results of its 2024 Resale Report, revealing that the U.S. secondhand market grew 7 times faster than the broader retail clothing market in 2023 and is set to reach $73 billion by 2028. The report also includes new insights about trends driving online resale’s growth, momentum in branded resale, and a special section about the government’s role in reducing fashion’s impact.
Financial Outlook
For the second quarter 2024, ThredUp expects:
•Revenue in the range of $81.0 million to $83.0 million.
•Gross margin in the range of 71.0% to 73.0%, representing gross profit dollar growth of 6% year over year at the midpoint of revenue and gross margin guidance.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 1.0% to 3.0%.
For the full fiscal year 2024, ThredUp expects:
•Revenue in the range of $328.0 million to $338.0 million.
•Gross margin in the range of 71.0% to 72.0%, representing gross profit dollar growth of 11% year over year at the midpoint of revenue and gross margin guidance.
•Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 2.0% to 4.0%.
ThredUp is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of the Non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss because certain items are out of ThredUp’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Historically, these items have included, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and other, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, acquisition and offering-related expenses, and impairment of non-marketable equity investment. Accordingly, a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA loss in order to calculate forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA loss margin is not available without unreasonable effort. However, for the second quarter of 2024 and full year 2024, depreciation and amortization is expected to be $5.0 million and $19.7 million, respectively. In addition, for the second quarter of 2024 and full year 2024, stock-based compensation expense is expected to be $7.2 million and $28.7 million, respectively. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could result in projected net loss being materially less than is indicated by the currently estimated Adjusted EBITDA loss margin.
ThredUp is not providing a quantitative reconciliation for free cash flow estimates on a forward-looking basis because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to provide a meaningful or reasonably accurate calculation or estimation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and certain reconciling items on a forward-looking basis, which could be significant to the Company's results.

ThredUp intends to announce material information to the public through the ThredUp Investor Relations website ir.thredup.com, SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls, and public webcasts. ThredUp uses these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with its investors, customers, and the public about the company, its offerings, and other issues. It is possible that the information ThredUp posts on social media could be deemed to be material information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics
This press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including: Adjusted EBITDA loss and Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, free cash flow and other operating and business metrics. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics, are useful in evaluating our operating performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our financial position. We use these measures and metrics to evaluate and assess our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. Our non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics used by other companies.
We encourage investors to review our results determined in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations for more information.
A reconciliation is provided above for Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA loss as net loss adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, and provision for income taxes. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss divided by total revenue for the same period.
A reconciliation is provided above for free cash flow to cash flows from operations, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude Purchases of property and equipment.
An Active Buyer is a ThredUp buyer who has made at least one purchase in the last twelve months. A ThredUp buyer is a customer who has created an account and purchased in our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, and is identified by a unique email address. A single person could have multiple ThredUp accounts and count as multiple Active Buyers.
Orders are defined as the total number of orders placed by buyers across our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, in a given period, net of cancellations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics
This financial supplement and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA loss, Adjusted EBITDA loss margin, free cash flow, Non-GAAP operating expenses, and other operating and business metrics. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics are useful in evaluating our operating performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our financial position. We use these measures and metrics to evaluate and assess our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. Our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP measures and other operating and business metrics used by other companies.
A reconciliation is provided above for Adjusted EBITDA loss to net loss and Non-GAAP operating expenses to total operating expenses, the most directly comparable financial measures stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA loss as net loss adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, severance and other reorganization costs, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, acquisition and offering-related expenses, and impairment of non-marketable equity investment. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA loss divided by total revenue for the same period. Non-GAAP operating expenses are operating expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and severance and other.
A reconciliation is provided above for free cash flow to Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities adjusted to exclude Purchases of property and equipment.
We encourage investors to review our results determined in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations for more information.
