Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes. The December 31, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022 from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the related notes, except for the adoption of new accounting pronouncements as noted under the heading Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements below. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Warby Parker Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company has consolidated certain entities meeting the definition of a variable interest entity as the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the entities. The inclusion of these entities does not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These principles require management to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to (i) the valuation of inventory, including the determination of the net realizable value, (ii) reserves for sales returns, (iii) the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, (iv) the determination of deferred income taxes, including related valuation allowances, (v) allowances for doubtful accounts, and (vi) assumptions related to the valuation of common stock and determination of stock-based compensation. Emerging Growth Company Status The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “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 has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies. As a result, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of issuers who are required to comply with the effective dates for new or revised accounting standards based on public company effective dates. Segment Information Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who makes decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. The Company defines its CODM as its co-Chief Executive Officers. The Company has identified one operating segment. When evaluating the Company’s performance and allocating resources, the CODM relies on financial information prepared on a consolidated basis. Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Suppliers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in various accounts, which, at times, may exceed the limits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of $250 thousand per institution and the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation of $100 thousand Canadian dollars. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, uninsured cash balances were approximately $210.2 million and $255.0 million, respectively. The Company has not experienced any concentration losses related to its cash and cash equivalents to date. The Company seeks to minimize its credit risk by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions and monitoring the credit standing of such institutions. The Company’s top five inventory suppliers accounted for approximately 22% and 19% of cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent. Cash and cash equivalents include both deposits with banks and financial institutions and receivables from credit card issuers, which are typically converted into cash within two to four days of capture. As such, these receivables are recorded as a deposit in transit as a component of cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of receivables from credit card issuers included within cash and cash equivalents was $3.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Inventory Inventory consists of approximately $15.1 million and $14.1 million of finished goods, including ready-to-wear sun frames, contact lenses, and eyeglass cases, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and approximately $55.7 million and $43.0 million of component parts, including optical frames and prescription optical lenses, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted average cost basis. The Company continuously evaluates the composition of its inventory and makes adjustments when the cost of inventory is not expected to be fully recoverable. The estimated net realizable value of inventory is determined based on an analysis of historical sales trends, the impact of market trends and economic conditions, and a forecast of future demand. Adjustments for damaged inventory are recorded primarily based on actual damaged inventory. Adjustments for inventory shrink, representing the physical loss of inventory, include estimates based on historical experience, and are adjusted based upon physical inventory counts. However, unforeseen adverse future economic and market conditions could result in actual results differing materially from estimates. COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic caused personal and business disruption worldwide beginning in January 2020, and continues to impact global economies and supply chains. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s business continued to experience disruption caused by the pandemic, including changes to consumer shopping patterns as well as varying levels of restrictions in physical locations implemented by national, state, and local authorities. Although the Company continues to monitor the situation and may adjust its current policies as more information and public health guidance become available, precautionary measures that have been adopted have and will negatively affect the Company’s ability to sell its products and fulfill customer orders and the operations of its suppliers and fulfillment partners. More generally, the continued outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected economies and financial markets globally, contributing to an economic downturn, which has decreased, and could continue to decrease consumer spending, and adversely affect demand for the Company’s products and services. It is not possible at this time to estimate the impact that COVID-19 could have on the Company’s business given the unpredictable nature of the pandemic. Revenue Recognition The Company primarily derives revenue from the sales of eyewear products, optical services, and accessories. The Company sells products and services through its stores, website, and mobile apps. Revenue generated from eyewear products includes the sales of prescription and non-prescription optical glasses and sunglasses, contact lenses, eyewear accessories, and expedited shipping charges, which are charged to the customer, associated with these purchases. All revenue is reported net of sales taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities and variable consideration, including returns and discounts. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied through either the transfer of control of promised goods or the rendering of services to the Company's customers. Control transfers once a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the product, which is generally determined to be the point of delivery or upon rendering of the service in the case of eye exams. This includes the transfer of legal title, physical possession, the risks and rewards of ownership, and customer acceptance. In the normal course of business, payment may be collected from the customer prior to recognizing revenue and such cash receipts are included in deferred revenue until the order is delivered to the customer. Substantially all of the deferred revenue included on the balance sheet at December 31, 2021 was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of 2022 and the Company expects substantially all of the deferred revenue at June 30, 2022 to be recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2022. The Company’s sales policy allows customers to return merchandise for any reason within 30 days of receipt, generally for an exchange or refund. An allowance is recorded within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for expected future customer returns which the Company estimates using historical return patterns and its expectation of future returns. Any difference between the actual return and previous estimates is adjusted in the period in which such returns occur. Historical return estimates have not materially differed from actual returns in any of the periods presented. The allowance for returns was $2.0 million and $1.8 million at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company offers non-expiring gift cards to its customers. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are initially deferred and recognized within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and are recognized as revenue when the product is received by the customer after the gift card has been tendered for payment. Based on historical experience, and to the extent there is no requirement to remit unclaimed card balances to government agencies under unclaimed property laws, an estimate of the gift card balances that will never be redeemed is recognized as revenue in proportion to gift cards which have been redeemed. While the Company will continue to honor all gift cards presented for payment, management may determine the likelihood of redemption to be remote for certain card balances due to, among other things, long periods of inactivity. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by product: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Eyewear products $ 142,985 $ 127,618 $ 290,304 $ 262,292 Services and other 6,639 3,942 12,538 8,241 Total Revenue $ 149,624 $ 131,560 $ 302,842 $ 270,533 The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue by channel: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 E-commerce $ 58,448 $ 58,478 $ 125,452 $ 136,660 Retail 91,176 73,082 177,390 133,873 Total Revenue $ 149,624 $ 131,560 $ 302,842 $ 270,533 Leases The Company records a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) asset at lease commencement. The lease liability is measured at the present value of non-cancellable future lease payments over the lease term, minus expected tenant improvement allowances (“TIAs”) determined to be lease incentives. The ROU asset is measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for prepaid lease payments, TIAs expected to be received, and any initial direct costs. When calculating the present value of future lease payments, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate, which incorporates several factors including the lease term, U.S. Treasury bond rates, financial ratios related to earnings and cash flows, and other comparisons with similarly sized companies. Many of the Company’s leases contain TIA provisions, which represent contractual amounts receivable from a lessor for improvements to the leased property made by the Company which are determined to represent lease incentives. The Company considers TIAs to be reasonably certain to collect, and includes them in the present value calculation when determining the lease liabilities for new leases. The benefit from a TIA is amortized through rent expense over the term of the related lease. The recognition of rent expense for an operating lease commences on the date at which control and possession of the property is obtained. Rent expense is calculated by recognizing total fixed minimum rental payments, net of any TIAs or other rental concessions, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s retail leases contain percent of sales rent or similar provisions, which is recognized as incurred as variable rent. Retail, optical laboratory, and distribution center rent expense is recognized as a component of cost of goods sold and all other rent expense is recognized as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Codification No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2022, using a modified retrospective transition approach without adjusting the comparative periods presented. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected practical expedients permitted under ASC 842, specifically to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, to not reassess lease classification, and to not reassess initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight which would require the Company to reassess the lease term of its leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to the current contract portfolio. The most significant financial statement impact of ASC 842 related to the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for the Company’s retail stores, corporate offices, optical laboratories, and distribution center operating leases based on the present value of total fixed payments. Upon adoption, the Company recorded right-of-use assets of $109.4 million, lease liabilities of $146.2 million, and other liabilities of $2.2 million, and reclassified historical deferred rent and tenant improvement allowance balances of $39.0 million to operating lease right-of-use assets. The adoption did not impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations or retained earnings. The impact of the adoption of ASC 842 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is as follows: December 31, Impact of ASC 842 Adoption January 1, 2022 Assets Current assets $ 327,980 $ — $ 327,980 Property and equipment, net 112,195 — 112,195 Right-of-use lease assets — 109,374 (1) 109,374 Other assets 471 — 471 Total assets $ 440,646 $ 109,374 $ 550,020 Liabilities and stockholders' deficit Current liabilities: Accounts payable $ 30,890 $ — $ 30,890 Accrued expenses 60,840 — 60,840 Deferred revenue 22,073 — 22,073 Current lease liabilities — 14,710 (2) 14,710 Other current liabilities 4,301 (2,484) (3) 1,817 Total current liabilities 118,104 12,226 130,330 Deferred rent 36,544 (36,544) (3) — Non-current lease liabilities — 131,492 (2) 131,492 Other liabilities — 2,200 (4) 2,200 Total liabilities 154,648 109,374 264,022 Stockholders' equity 285,998 — 285,998 Total liabilities and stockholders' deficit $ 440,646 $ 109,374 $ 550,020 (1) Represents the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets, reflecting lease rights and the reclassifications of deferred rent and tenant allowances. (2) Represents the recognition of current and non-current lease liabilities for fixed payments associated with the Company’s operating leases. (3) Represents the reclassification of current and non-current deferred rent and tenant improvement allowances to operating lease right-of-use assets. (4) Represents the recognition of negative operating lease right-of-use assets into other liabilities. This typically occurs when a lease contains TIAs but most or all of the cash rent is variable in nature and does not result in a lease liability. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”), and additional changes, modifications, clarifications or interpretations related to this guidance thereafter, which require a reporting entity to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, and present assets held at amortized cost and available for-sale debt securities at the amount expected to be collected. The Company early adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company considered its accounts receivable balance, mainly consisting of amounts due from insurance carriers, and the related reserve for uncollectible accounts which is assessed primarily based on the aging of the related receivables. The Company considered other relevant factors such as counterparty creditworthiness, historical collections, receivable terms, and the size of the individual receivables when determining the reserve. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The Company has considered all new accounting pronouncements issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and does expect any to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
