Overview of Our Business
Our mission is to deliver
the greatest sleep ever invented.
We began as a digitally-native
vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings, and have since expanded into brick & mortar stores as
a true omni-channel brand. We offer a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions,
bases, sheets and more. Our products are the result of decades of innovation and investment in proprietary and patented comfort technologies
and the development of our own manufacturing processes. Our proprietary Hyper-Elastic Polymer gel technology underpins many of our comfort
products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our products from our competitors. Specially engineered to relieve pressure,
maintain an ideal body temperature, and provide instantly adaptive support, Purple’s patented technology has been tested rigorously
within medical and consumer applications for over 30 years. Originally designed for use in hospital beds and wheelchairs, we adapted this
unique pressure-relieving material for our mattresses, pillows and other cushion products.
We market and sell our products
via our direct-to-consumer channel, which includes Purple.com (our direct-to-consumer e-commerce), Purple showrooms, our customer contact
center and online marketplaces (collectively “DTC”), and our wholesale channel through retail brick-and-mortar and online
wholesale partners.
28
Organization
Our business consists of Purple
Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors,
is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without
the approval of any other member. At June 30, 2025, Purple Inc. had a 99.85% economic ownership interest in Purple LLC while Class B unit
holders had the remaining 0.15%.
Recent Developments in Our Business
Operational Developments
Our second quarter 2025 revenue
decreased compared to last year due to the impact of longer delivery times of Rejuvenate 2.0, softness in e-commerce and 2024 reductions
in Wholesale door count. Gross profits were down due mainly to increased tariffs, costs related to our manufacturing facility consolidation
and ramp-up costs relating to the Rejuvenate 2.0 launch, partially offset by continued improvement in lowering material costs as we realize
the benefits from ongoing sourcing initiatives. Operating expenses continue to decline as we have improved advertising efficiency, implemented
numerous cost reduction efforts and closely managed our expenses with disciplined cost controls.
On May 2, 2025, we entered
into the Second Amendment to Master Retailer Agreement with Mattress Firm, a business unit of SGI, which provides that SGI, through its
Mattress Firm stores, will expand its inventory of our products across its national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots
to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots. We expect that this increased retail presence in Mattress Firm stores will generate approximately
$70 million in annualized incremental net revenue beginning in 2026. This rollout is well underway and we expect to be in their full store
network during the third quarter 2025. In partnership with Mattress Firm, we are developing an exclusive Luxe product for Mattress Firm,
scheduled to launch early next year, which will increase our total slot count to the contractual minimum. Also on May 2, 2025, we entered
into the Sherwood Agreement with Tempur Sherwood, LLC, a subsidiary of Tempur Sealy. The Sherwood Agreement provides that Tempur Sherwood,
LLC will have the exclusive right to assemble certain product lines that we sell to Mattress Firm.
The new Rejuvenate 2.0 collection launched in
the second quarter 2025 and is now available across all of our showroom locations. Since the launch, we’ve sold over 1,300 Rejuvenate
2.0 units through our direct channels with approximately 80% of those sales coming through our showrooms. This is more than twice the
number of units sold as our Rejuvenate 1.0 in the prior year through our direct channels. Slot commitments across wholesale have also
been strong, with an increase in non-Mattress Firm slots of over 60%. Demand from consumers and partners has temporarily outpaced our
ability to fulfill orders on a timely basis. While Showroom revenue in the second quarter 2025 reflects the Rejuvenate 2.0 demand being
primarily shipped in the third quarter 2025, underlying sales orders in the second quarter 2025 for Showrooms open for more than a year
showed 5.5% growth as compared to the second quarter last year. Wholesale revenue would have been reported slightly higher in the second
quarter 2025 if the Rejuvenate 2.0 orders had been timely fulfilled during the second quarter 2025.
Restructuring Activities
In August 2024, we initiated the Restructuring Plan to strategically
realign our operational focus to achieve efficiencies in our operations that are expected to improve profitability and provide for reinvesting
in technology and marketing initiatives. The Restructuring Plan includes the permanent closure of both Utah manufacturing facilities to
consolidate mattress production in our Georgia plant, and a headcount reduction at our Utah headquarters to drive additional operating
efficiencies. Closure of the two Utah manufacturing facilities was completed in the second quarter of 2025 while consolidation into the
Georgia facility was finalized in December 2024. The reduction in workforce at our Utah headquarters was completed in August 2024. During
the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized $4.2 million in costs relating to the Restructuring Plan, which included $2.9 million
of impairment on leases and leasehold improvements, $0.6 million of moving and transition related costs, $0.2 million related to disposal
of equipment in progress that will not be put in service, $0.2 million in employee related costs, and $0.2 million in accelerated depreciation.
We expect to record additional restructuring and other related charges in the amount of $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. These
charges include certain estimates that are provisional and include management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as
we complete the execution of our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the completion of our plan could result in
additional restructuring, impairment or other related charges not reflected.
In addition, we continue to
implement additional cost savings measures in 2025 beyond those implemented pursuant to our 2024 Restructuring Plan.
Debt Financings
On March 12, 2025, Purple
LLC, Purple Inc. and Intellibed (collectively, the “Loan Parties”), entered into an Amendment to the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement (the “2025 Amendment”) with Coliseum Capital Partners (“CCP”) and Blackwell Partners LLC –
Series A (“Blackwell”) (collectively the “2025 Lenders”), which amends the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amendment, among other things, provides for an increase in the initial principal amount of the Related Party Loan by $19.0 million
(the “First Incremental Loan”) from an initial Related Party Loan principal amount of $61.0 million to an initial aggregate
principal amount of $80.0 million, and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from CCP, Blackwell and other
lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) in an initial aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be
agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
The First Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Initial Loan, which may be paid in cash or in kind at our option.
29
The 2025 Amendment also provides
that (i) the First Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the Related Party Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory
prepayment in part or in full of the First Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (ii) 2.50% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan
so prepaid, replaced or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess
of (A) (x) 100% of the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled
interest payments due on such First Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest
accrues at the Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as
of such prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such First Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.
In addition, we also paid
(i) an amendment fee equal to 2% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Related Party Loan held by the
2025 Lenders, paid in kind and (ii) a 2% work fee of the initial aggregate principal amount of the First Incremental Loan paid to the
2025 Lenders, deducted from the proceeds at closing. Total fees and expenses of $2.1 million were recorded as debt issuance costs in March
2025.
In connection with the 2025
Amendment, we issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Warrants”) to purchase 6.2 million shares of our Class A common
stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments (see Note 11 – Warrant Liabilities ). These warrants include
full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on
March 12, 2035.
On May 2, 2025, the Loan Parties
entered into a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second 2025 Amendment”) with the 2025 Lenders
(as defined in the Second 2025 Amendment), which amends the Amended A&R Credit Agreement. The Second 2025 Amendment, among other things,
provides for a commitment increase pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Amended A&R Credit Agreement in the initial principal amount of
the senior secured term loan facility by $20.0 million (the “Second Incremental Loan”) from an aggregate principal amount
of up to $80.0 million (the “Existing Loan”) to an initial aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the “Loan”)
and allows the Loan Parties to request one or more additional term loans from the Lenders in an initial aggregate principal amount not
to exceed $20.0 million on terms to be agreed to by the parties and subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (as defined in the
Amended A&R Credit Agreement). The Second Incremental Loan will bear interest at the same rate as the Existing Loan, which may be
paid in cash or in kind at our option.
The Second 2025 Amendment
also provides that (i) the Second Incremental Loan shall be senior in right of repayment to the initial $61.0 million loan under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement and pari passu with the First Incremental Loan and (ii) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayment in part
or in full of the Second Incremental Loan for any reason, the Company will be required to pay an amount equal to the greater of (a) the
Make-Whole Premium (as defined below) and (b) 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Incremental Loan so prepaid, replaced
or assigned. The “Make-Whole Premium” is determined as follows: on the date of prepayment, the excess of (A) (x) 100% of the
principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan, plus (y) the present value at such date of all remaining scheduled interest payments
due on such Second Incremental Loan from the prepayment date through the maturity date, assuming that all such interest accrues at the
Make-Whole Premium Rate (as defined in the Second 2025 Amendment), computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate as of such
prepayment date plus 50 basis points, over (B) the principal amount of such Second Incremental Loan on such prepayment date.
In addition, we also paid
(i) an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in kind
to the 2025 Lenders, (ii) a work fee equal to 0.1% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan,
paid in cash to the Required Lenders, (iii) a waiver fee, to induce the Required Lenders to waive certain preemptive and right of first
refusal rights, equal to 0.15% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Loan, paid in cash to the
Required Lenders, and (iv) a commitment fee equal to $150,000, paid in cash to the Required Lenders.
In connection with the Second
2025 Amendment, we issued to the 2025 Lenders, warrants (the “2025 Additional Warrants”) to purchase 6.6 million shares of
our Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. These 2025 Additional Warrants include full-ratchet
anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035.
Warrants
In connection with the 2025 Amendment, we issued to the 2025 Lenders
the 2025 Warrants to purchase 6.2 million shares of our Class A common stock. Each 2025 Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase
one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment with a floor of $0.6979 and expire on March
12, 2035. The 2025 Warrants contain certain provisions that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore were recorded
as liabilities. The liability for the 2025 Warrants was recorded at a fair value of $5.4 million on the date of issuance with the offset
included in debt issuance costs.
30
In connection with the Second
2025 Amendment, we issued to the 2025 Lenders the 2025 Additional Warrants to purchase 6.6 million shares of our Class A common stock.
Each 2025 Additional Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $1.50 per
share, subject to adjustment with a floor of $0.6979 and expire on March 12, 2035. The liability for the 2025 Additional Warrants was
recorded at a fair value of $5.4 million on the date of issuance with the offset included in debt issuance costs.
In connection with the SGI
Agreement, we issued to SGI, warrants to purchase 8.0 million shares of our Class A common stock at a strike price of $1.50 per share
(the “SGI Warrants”). The SGI Warrants include full-ratchet anti-dilution protections, subject to a floor of $0.6979 with
respect to adjustments to the exercise price and expire on March 12, 2035. The liability for the 2025 Additional Warrants was recorded
at a fair value of $6.5 million on the date of issuance with the offset recorded as an asset to be amortized as a reduction of revenue
over the life of the SGI Agreement.
A holder of the warrants will
not have the right to exercise them, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates)
would beneficially own in excess of 49.9% of the shares of Class A common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
The warrant liability is subsequently
re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. During the three and six months
ended June 30, 2025, we incurred a gain of $4.4 million due to the decrease in the fair value of the warrants outstanding at June 30,
2025.
Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the issuance
of the 2025 Warrants, on March 12, 2025, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “2025
Registration Rights Agreement”) with CCP, Blackwell, and Coliseum Capital Co-Invest III, L.P., (the “2025 Holders”),
providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the 2025 Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2025 Warrants,
other warrants held by the 2025 Holders (and shares issuable upon exercise thereof) and the Class A common stock held by the 2025 Holders
as of such date (the “2025 Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.
In connection with the issuance
of the 2025 Additional Warrants, on May 2, 2025, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Third
Amended Registration Rights Agreement”) with the 2025 Holders, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the 2025
Additional Warrants, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2025 Additional Warrants, other warrants held by the 2025 Holders (and
shares issuable upon exercise thereof) and the Class A common stock held by the 2025 Holders as of such date (the “2025 Additional
Registrable Securities”), subject to customary terms and conditions.
In connection with the issuance
of the SGI Warrants, on May 2, 2025, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “SGI Registration Rights Agreement”
and collectively with the 2025 Registration Rights Agreement and the Third Amended Registration Rights Agreement, the “Registration
Rights Agreements”) with SGI, providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the SGI Warrants, the shares issuable upon
the exercise of the SGI Warrants, and the Class A common stock held by SGI as of such date (the “SGI Registrable Securities”
and collectively with the 2025 Registrable Securities and 2025 Additional Registrable Securities, the “Registrable Securities”),
subject to customary terms and conditions.
The Registration Rights Agreements
entitle the investors party thereto to demand registration of the Registrable Securities and also to piggyback on the registration of
Company securities by us and other Company securityholders. We will be responsible for the payment of the investors’ expenses in
connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including underwriting discounts or selling commissions, placement agent
or broker fees or similar discounts, commissions or fees relating to the sale of certain Registrable Securities.
The registration statement filed on May 23, 2025, which registered
the Registrable Securities, was declared effective by the SEC on May 30, 2025.
NOL Rights Plan
On June 27, 2024, our Board of Directors (“Board”) adopted,
and we entered into, a limited-duration stockholder rights agreement (the “NOL Rights Plan”) with a stated expiration date
of June 30, 2025. Our Board approved the NOL Rights Plan to protect stockholder value by attempting to safeguard our ability to use our
June 30, 2024, estimated $238 million of net operating losses (the “Current NOLs”) to reduce potential future federal income
tax obligations from becoming substantially limited by future ownership of our common stock. Upon adopting the NOL Rights Plan, 0.3 million
shares of our authorized shares of preferred stock were designated as Series C Preferred Shares. Pursuant to the NOL Rights Plan, our
Board authorized and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock to stockholders of record at the close
of business on July 26, 2024. Upon a stockholder acquiring greater than a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold (or, if a stockholder has
beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage point greater than their current
beneficial ownership percentage), the rights will become exercisable to significantly dilute any stockholder who violates the ownership
limitations of the NOL Rights Plan. The NOL Rights Plan was ratified at a special meeting of our stockholders on October 15, 2024 (the
“Special Meeting”). On May 6, 2025, the Board accelerated the termination of the NOL Rights Plan and the NOL Protective Charter
Amendment, to May 7, 2025.
NOL Protective Charter Amendment
In connection with the NOL
Rights Plan, our Board adopted a NOL Protective Charter Amendment that adds an additional layer of protection to our Current NOLs until
June 30, 2025 by voiding any transfer of common stock that results in a stockholder acquiring beyond a 4.9% ownership percentage threshold
(or, if a stockholder has current beneficial ownership of in excess of 4.9%, then the ownership percentage that is one-half of one percentage
point greater than their current beneficial ownership percentage). The NOL Protective Charter Amendment was approved by our stockholders
at the Special Meeting. On May 6, 2025, the Board accelerated the termination of the NOL Rights Plan and the NOL Protective Charter
Amendment to May 7, 2025.
31
Review of Strategic Alternatives
We have engaged with multiple
parties about a broad range of opportunities to maximize shareholder value, including, but not limited to, a merger, sale or other strategic
or financial transaction. The Board has formed a special committee of independent directors and we have engaged a financial advisor to
support them in evaluating a range of options and exploring other potential strategic alternatives. If we are unsuccessful in engaging
in a favorable strategic alternative, then our ability to grow our business and compete with larger, including combined, competitors may
be adversely affected.
Impact of United States Tariff Policy
We continue to actively manage
the impact of recent United States tariff policies. Importantly, all of our mattresses are manufactured in the United States, and about
15% of our cost of goods is tied to products sourced from overseas. This limited exposure is primarily concentrated in the textile side
of the business, which includes sheets and mattress covers, but also includes the import of bases and foundations. While future changes
in tariffs are difficult to predict, we currently estimate the total cost exposure in 2025 to be less than our previous $10 million estimate,
due to a combination of our mitigation efforts and changes to the underlying tariff rates. We have begun shifting sourcing outside of
China, and in July, we implemented price increases on select product, including two mattress models. The tariff landscape remains fluid,
and we are actively evaluating sourcing alternatives and pricing strategies on a case-by-case basis. We believe that our vertically integrated
model and strong vendor relationships give us the flexibility to remain agile and responsive to changes in tariff policies, and we believe
that we will be able to mitigate these impacts through a combination of supply chain repositioning, vendor collaborations, and selective
pricing actions.
Executive Summary – Results of Operations
Net revenues decreased $15.2
million, or 12.6%, to $105.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $120.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024. The drop in revenue was primarily driven by the impact of longer delivery times of Rejuvenate 2.0, reductions in Wholesale door
count in 2024 and softness in e-commerce. From a sales channel perspective, e-commerce net revenues decreased $5.6 million, or 11.5%,
showrooms net revenue decreased $2.4 million or 13.3% and wholesale net revenues decreased $7.2 million, or 13.4%.
Gross profit decreased $11.2
million, or 23.0%, to $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $48.9 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 35.9% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2025 from 40.7% in the second quarter
of 2024. The decrease in gross profit is due mainly to increased tariffs, costs related to the ramp-up of both the Mattress Firm roll-out
and Rejuvenate 2.0 launch, partially offset by continued improvement in lowering material costs as we realize the benefits from ongoing
sourcing initiatives. We believe that the lower gross profit percentage in the second quarter 2025 is not indicative of future trends.
With mitigation plans underway to reduce the impact of tariffs, improvements in manufacturing efficiencies and continued direct material
cost savings, we believe that we will exit 2025 with a gross profit over 40.0%. However, the evolving tariff landscape and continued
softness in demand may adversely affect our gross profit.
Operating expenses decreased
$11.6 million, or 18.2% to $51.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $63.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by a $8.2 million reduction in advertising spend, $4.7 million decrease in employee related expenses,
$2.2 million decrease in research and development project write-offs and $0.7 million decrease in all other operating expenses, partially
offset by an increase of $4.2 million in restructuring related costs. These decreases are the result of restructuring efforts, the in-sourcing
of certain functions in marketing and finance and other cost reduction efforts.
Other income (expense), net
decreased $17.7 million, or 121.1% to other income (expense), net of $(3.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared
to other income (expense), net of $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The other income (expense), net in the second
quarter of 2025 consists of interest expense of $7.5 million, partially offset by a $4.4 million gain on the change in fair value of warrants.
The other income (expense), net in the second quarter of 2024 consists of $18.7 million gain on the change in fair value of warrants and
all other income, net of $0.1 million, partially offset by $4.2 million in interest expense.
Net loss attributable to Purple Inc. was $17.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to a break even position attributable to Purple Inc. for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. The $17.3 million increase in net loss was primarily due to lower sales, decreased gross profit and the change in fair
value of warrant liabilities, partially offset by reduced operating expenses as we are realizing the benefits from our Restructuring Plan,
supply chain initiatives, operational efficiency improvements and other cost reduction efforts.

Outlook for Growth
We believe we are well positioned
to grow our business in this challenging market given our new grid innovation, evolved messaging strategy, the Restructuring Plan and
other cost saving initiatives. We believe we are entering the second half with significant momentum that we believe will continue building
through the end of the year, with third quarter to date revenues up in the mid-single digits percentage range versus the same period last
year. We are seeing validation of our brand and innovation strategy through the success of Rejuvenate 2.0, which has sold more than twice
as many units as our Rejuvenate 1.0 in the prior year through our direct channels, the growing momentum behind our Mattress Firm expansion,
which is rolling out across the country, the deepening partnership with Costco as we prepare to launch in 450 clubs for their year-end
furniture show and the strong interest from other traditional and non-traditional partners. Our Path to Premium Sleep strategy remains
focused on the following three key initiatives to drive sustainable and profitable market share:
●
Pioneer new technologies to maintain our competitive advantage. Our strategy focuses on offering a differentiated product that we believe provides unique benefits and higher customer satisfaction, all fueled by our proprietary flexible gel technology. Advancements and innovation in our grid technology have led to a new grid technology marking a significant advancement in our product lineup. Our new DreamLayer grid, stacked with our original grid, creates a unique combination that further differentiates us in the market while driving superior comfort and support for an even more premium sleep experience. This advancement resulted in a refresh of our current Rejuvenate line. The new Rejuvenate 2.0 collection launched in the second quarter 2025 and we believe that we are seeing validation of our brand and innovation strategy through the initial success of Rejuvenate 2.0 as it is outperforming expectations across both our direct and wholesale channels. We believe this favorable mix shift will be a key margin driver moving forward. In addition, we have significantly expanded our distribution of pillows by launching our renowned DreamLayer and Freeform pillows into our wholesale channel. In the second quarter 2025, we also introduced our new Grid Cloud pillow, designed to bring the benefits of our grid technology to a broader audience.
●
Promote our product differentiation to drive sales. We started as a brand built on differentiation. In recent years, the category has relied extensively on discount messaging to attract customers, with less focus on product benefits. As part of our evolved messaging strategy, our efforts are focused on reinforcing the strength of our brand, clearly communicating the “Less Pain, Better Sleep” benefits of our technology and supporting premium positioning across all channels. We intend to effectively articulate the unique qualities of sleeping on our gel grid layer and optimize our messaging to drive engagement, education and conversion. In our selling channels, we believe refocusing our messaging will drive more and better-quality traffic while improving conversion both online and in stores, and increase our share of retailer sales in our wholesale channel.
●
Prioritize gross profit improvements. We believe continued gross margin gains to come from driving cost savings through plant consolidation efficiency gains, supplier diversification efforts, and improved scrap and yield results from continuous improvements efforts. We are also ramping up in-house pillow production, changing vendors for key mattress components and improving our delivery program to drive cost improvements and better deliveries. We believe our sourcing, manufacturing and consolidation efforts are delivering meaningful structural improvements and positioning us for sustained gross profit expansion.
There is no guarantee that we will be able to
effectively execute on these initiatives, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including
the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the SEC on March 14, 2025 and elsewhere herein. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those described above.
In addition, we may, in the future, adapt these focuses in response to changes in the market or our business.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues decreased $15.2
million, or 12.6%, to $105.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $120.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by the impact of longer delivery times of Rejuvenate 2.0, reductions in Wholesale door count
in 2024 and softness in e-commerce. From a sales channel perspective, e-commerce net revenues decreased $5.6 million, or 11.5%, showrooms
net revenues decreased by $2.4 million, or 13.3%, and wholesale net revenues decreased $7.2 million, or 13.4%.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased
$3.9 million, or 5.5%, to $67.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $71.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. This decrease was due primarily to reduced sales volumes and lower material costs attributable to supply chain initiatives,
partially offset by increased costs due to tariffs, costs related to our manufacturing facility consolidation and ramp-up costs relating
to the Rejuvenate 2.0 launch. Our gross profit percentage decreased to 35.9% of net revenues in the second quarter of 2025 from 40.7%
in the second quarter of 2024, due mainly to increased tariffs, costs related to the ramp-up of both the Mattress Firm roll-out and Rejuvenate
2.0 launch, partially offset by continued improvement in lowering material costs as we realize the benefits from ongoing sourcing initiatives.
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $0.1 million in cost of revenues associated with the Restructuring Plan.
34
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense
decreased $10.8 million, or 26.0%, to $30.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $41.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease primarily consisted of $8.2 million in reduced advertising spend, and a $2.7 million decrease
in employee related costs due to headcount reductions, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in all other marketing and sales expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expense decreased $3.1 million, or 17.3%, to $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $18.1 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due to a $1.7 million decrease in employee related costs from headcount reductions,
a $0.7 million reduction in professional services mainly from certain consulting services that have been discontinued, and $0.8 million
reductions in all other general and administrative expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expense
decreased $1.8 million, or 45.4%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is due to the loss incurred in 2024 on the write-off of a certain project in 2024, lower employee related
costs, and other product development costs.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related
Charges
In August 2024, we initiated
a Restructuring Plan to permanently close our two Utah manufacturing facilities and consolidate mattress production in our Georgia
plant. The Restructuring Plan also provided for a headcount reduction at our Utah headquarters to drive additional operating efficiencies.
The $4.1 million of restructuring and impairment charges recorded in operating expense during the second quarter of 2025 included $2.9
million of impairment related to leases and leasehold improvements, $0.6 million of moving and transition related costs, $0.2 million
related to disposal of equipment in progress that will not be put in service, $0.2 million in employee related costs, and $0.2 million
in accelerated depreciation. We expect to record additional restructuring and other related charges in the amount of $0.9 million in the
third quarter of 2025.
These charges include certain
estimates that are provisional and include management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as we complete the execution
of our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the completion of our plan could result in additional restructuring,
impairment or other related charges not reflected.
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $0.3
million, or 2.1%, to $14.2 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 2024. This decrease in our operating loss is the result of improved advertising efficiency, the benefits realized through our Restructuring
Plan, supply chain initiatives, and other cost reduction efforts throughout the Company, partially offset by increased costs due to tariffs
and ramp up costs tied to our manufacturing facility consolidation and the Rejuvenate 2.0 launch.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $7.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was
primarily due to additional interest incurred on a higher principal balance on the Related Party Loan as the Company elected the paid-in-kind
option on monthly interest over the past 12 months and increased the loan funding by $39.0 million.
35
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
We have 40.8 million warrants
outstanding that contain certain provisions that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities
with a re-measurement of fair value at each reporting date. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $4.4 million gain
related to the decrease in fair value of the warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2025, as compared with the previous measurement date.
The decrease is due mainly to the change in the probability and timing of a fundamental transaction. For the three months ended June 30,
2024, we recognized a $ 18.7 million gain related to the decrease in the fair value of the warrants from the January 2024 issuance date.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had a $0.1 million income
tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
2024. The income tax expense amounts in both the second quarter of 2025 and 2024 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net income or
loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed
to noncontrolling interests was negligible for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024.

Revenues, Net
Net revenues decreased $31.0
million, or 12.9%, to $209.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $240.3 million for the six months ended June
30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by the industry-wide demand softness for home-related products in the first quarter 2025,
the impact of longer delivery times of Rejuvenate 2.0, reductions in Wholesale door count in 2024 and softness in e-commerce. From a sales
channel perspective, e-commerce net revenues decreased $9.6 million, or 9.8%, showrooms net revenues decreased $1.2 million, or 3.4%,
and wholesale net revenues decreased $20.2 million, or 18.8%.
Total Cost of Revenues
Total cost of revenues decreased
$19.1 million, or 12.8%, to $130.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $149.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2024. This decrease was due primarily to reduced sales volumes coupled with lower material costs that were largely attributable
to supply chain initiatives implemented over the last 12 months, partially offset by increased costs due to tariffs and costs related
to the ramp-up of both the Mattress Firm roll-out and Rejuvenate 2.0 launch. Our gross profit percentage decreased slightly to 37.6% of
net revenues for the first six months of 2025 from 37.7% in the first six months of 2024 due primarily to lower material costs partially
offset by increased costs due to tariffs, costs related to the ramp-up of both the Mattress Firm roll-out and Rejuvenate 2.0 launch.
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expense
decreased $15.6 million, or 18.8%, to $67.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $82.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was due mainly to reduced advertising spend of $6.5 million, a $4.9 million decrease in employee related
costs due to headcount reductions, a $2.5 million reduction in professional services and a $1.7 million reduction in all other marketing
expenses.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expense decreased $8.4 million, or 22.1%, to $29.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $37.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease in employee related expenses due to headcount reductions,
a $3.2 million reduction in professional services mainly from certain consulting services that have been discontinued and a $1.1 million
reduction in all other expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development expense
decreased $3.0 million, or 39.5%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $7.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2024. This decrease is due to the loss incurred in 2024 on the write off of a certain project in 2024 and lower employee
related costs and other product development costs.
Restructuring, Impairment and Other Related
Charges
In August 2024, we initiated
a Restructuring Plan to permanently close our two Utah manufacturing facilities and consolidate mattress production in our Georgia
plant. The Restructuring Plan also provided for a headcount reduction at our Utah headquarters to drive additional operating efficiencies.
The $6.1 million of restructuring and impairment charges recorded in operating expense during the first six months of 2025 included $2.9
million of impairment related to leases and leasehold improvements, $1.8 million of moving and transition related costs, $0.9 million
related to disposal of equipment in progress that will not be put in service, $0.4 million in employee related costs and $0.1 million
in accelerated depreciation. We expect to record additional restructuring and other related charges in the amount of $0.9 million in the
third quarter of 2025.
37
These charges include certain
estimates that are provisional and include management judgments and assumptions that could change materially as we complete the execution
of our plans. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and the completion of our plan could result in additional restructuring,
impairment or other related charges not reflected.
Operating Loss
Operating loss decreased $9.1
million, or 23.8%, to $28.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30,
2024. This decrease in our operating loss is the result of the benefits realized through improved advertising efficiency, the benefits
realized through our Restructuring Plan, supply chain initiatives and other cost reduction efforts throughout the Company, partially offset
by increased costs due to tariffs, costs related to our manufacturing facility consolidation and the ramp-up costs relating to the Rejuvenate
2.0 launch.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $12.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2025, compared to $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was primarily due to additional interest incurred
on a higher principal balance on the Related Party Loan as the Company elected the paid-in-kind option on monthly interest over the past
12 months and increased the loan funding by $39.0 million.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
In January 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
that terminated and paid off our 2023 credit agreements. This termination was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and $3.4 million
of unamortized debt issuance costs relating to the 2023 credit agreements were recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt in the first
quarter of 2024.
Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
We have 40.8 million warrants outstanding that contain certain provisions
that do not meet the criteria for equity classification and therefore are recorded as liabilities with a re-measurement of fair value
at each reporting date. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized a $4.4 million gain related to the decrease in fair value
of the warrant liabilities. The decrease is due mainly to the change in the probability and timing of a fundamental transaction. For the
six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized a $4.9 million loss related to the increase in the fair value of the warrants from the January
2024 issuance.
Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
We had a $0.1 million income
tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $0.1 million income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The income tax expense amounts in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were related to various state taxes.
Noncontrolling Interest
We calculate net income or
loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed
to noncontrolling interests was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2024.
38
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of funds
are cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalents on hand, supplemented with borrowings made pursuant to various loan agreements.
Principal uses of funds consist of capital expenditures, working capital needs and operating lease payment obligations. In accordance
with the terms of our various agreements, we have elected to pay interest in kind on our loans to reduce cash obligations. Our working
capital needs depend largely upon the timing of cash receipts from product sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories,
and operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital positions were $34.2 million and $41.5 million,
respectively, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $29.0 million and $25.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Cash used for capital
expenditures totaled $5.1 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures
in the first half of 2025 have primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations. Additional details
about our loan agreements are described above under “ Recent Developments in our Business – Debt Financing. ”
Our financial statements have
been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. In connection with our preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we conducted an evaluation as to whether there were conditions and events,
considered in the aggregate, which raised substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the
date of the issuance of such financial statements. We had cash and cash equivalents
of approximately $34.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $610.3 million at June
30, 2025, a net loss of $36.5 million and net cash used in operating and investing activities of $32.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2025. We entered into the 2025 Amendment and the Second 2025 Amendment, pursuant to which we received an aggregate
of $39.0 million in additional term loan proceeds from the 2025 Lenders.
We have also taken a number
of other actions to increase cash flow. In August 2024, we implemented the Restructuring Plan to consolidate manufacturing operations
to create efficiencies and cost savings. We have realized and plan to continue to realize direct material cost savings through supply
chain initiatives and supplier diversification efforts. We have taken additional cost-saving initiatives in the first half of 2025 to
maintain liquidity to support our operations and strategies. Additionally, we entered into an agreement with Mattress Firm, a business
unit of SGI to expand its inventory of our products across SGI’s national store network from approximately 5,000 mattress slots
to a minimum of 12,000 mattress slots.
Accordingly, we concluded
that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for at least one year from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Although we currently expect
our sources of capital to be sufficient to meet our near-term liquidity needs, there can be no assurance that such sources will be sufficient
to satisfy our liquidity requirements in the future, including the related party loan due December 31, 2026 (see Note 10 — Debt ).
If we cannot generate or obtain needed funds, we might be forced to make substantial reductions in our operating and capital expenses
or pursue restructuring plans, which could adversely affect our business operations and ability to execute our current business strategy.
Other Contractual Obligations
Other material contractual
obligations primarily include operating lease payment obligations. See Note 8 - Leases of the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements for additional information on leases.

Cash used in operating activities was $27.1 million and $25.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Significant components of the $1.4 million year-over-year increase in
in cash used in operating activities included a $7.6 million increase in cash used from the changes in operating assets and liabilities
and $7.5 million increase in cash used due to a decrease in the net noncash adjustments, partially offset by a $13.7 million decrease
in net loss.
Cash used in investing activities reflected net capital expenditures
of $5.1 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first six
months of 2025 primarily consisted of additional investments made in our manufacturing operations.
Cash provided by financing activities was $37.4 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $27.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Financing activities during the first
six months of 2025 included $39.0 million of proceeds from the additional financing offset in part by $1.6 million in payments for debt
issuance costs. Financing activities during the first six months of 2024 included $61.0 million of proceeds received from the Related
Party Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, offset in part by a $25.0 million payment to pay off the term loans from the
2023 credit agreement, a $5.0 million payment to pay off the ABL Loans from the 2023 credit agreement, and payments of $3.5 million for
debt issuance costs associated with entering into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
