REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Revolve Group, Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Revolve Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in members’/stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for leases as of January 1, 2021 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) .
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
78
Sales return reserve
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has recorded a sales return reserve as of December 31, 2021 of $49.3 million. The Company establishes a reserve for merchandise returns, based on historical experience, merchandise mix and expected future returns, which is recorded as a reduction of sales.
We identified the evaluation of the sales return reserve as a critical audit matter. There was auditor judgment required to evaluate the impact of recent sales return experience that could impact the rate of historical experience used to estimate the sales return reserve.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s process for estimating the sales return reserve. This included controls related to the development of estimated return rates and the Company’s lookback analysis based on actual returns received subsequent to the period end. We evaluated expected future returns by assessing the timing of the number of days between actual sales dates and actual return dates for the year ended December 31, 2021. In addition, we analyzed actual returns received by the Company after December 31, 2021 to evaluate management’s estimate as of December 31, 2021. We assessed the Company’s ability to estimate by comparing the historically recorded sales return reserve to actual subsequent period returns.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Revolve Group, Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Revolve Group, Inc. and subsidiaries' (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in members’/stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 28, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REVOLVE GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Description of Business
Revolve Group, Inc., or REVOLVE, is an online fashion retailer for Millennial and Generation Z consumers. Through our websites and mobile apps we deliver an aspirational customer experience from a vast, yet curated offering. Our dynamic platform connects a deeply engaged community of consumers, global fashion influencers, and emerging, established and owned brands. We are headquartered in Los Angeles County, California.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the balances of Revolve Group, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Our fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year.
Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic had a material adverse impact on our business operations and operating results for 2020. In particular, as a result of social distancing and stay-at-home orders around the world that commenced in March 2020, demand for our largest product categories that are focused on social occasions had been significantly negatively impacted. Furthermore, during 2020 we were unable to host large-scale, in-person events that are key to driving awareness, traffic and new customers. As our net sales, business operations and operating results improved in mid-2020, we began to sequentially increase our inventory purchases and incur certain operating expenses to support the improving trends in consumer demand.
Our net sales, business operations and operating results continued to improve throughout 2021 due to increased demand as a result of our ability to acquire new customers and engage with our existing customers, and among other things, the easing of stay-at-home orders and other restrictions in certain states and countries, U.S. government stimulus payments and the accelerated rollout of vaccinations in the United States and some of our other key markets. With the improving trends, we continued to invest in inventory to support the consumer demand, increased our investment in headcount and cautiously increased the frequency and scale of in-person marketing activations. While demand for our products improved, the extent of this increased demand in the future remains uncertain. In particular, the recent rise of cases primarily as a result of COVID-19 variants, has resulted in restrictions being reinstated in certain cities and states in the United States as well as certain key markets around the world.
We believe that our existing cash and cash e quivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect given the continued uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect.
Reverse Split
On May 24, 2019, we effected a one-for-22.31 reverse split of all of our issued and outstanding Class T units and Class A units. All figures have been presented on the basis of the reverse split wherever applicable for all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Corporate Conversion
Prior to our initial public offering, or IPO, we operated as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Revolve Group, LLC. In connection with the IPO, Revolve Group, LLC converted into a Delaware corporation and
87
changed its name to Revolve Group, Inc. so that the top-tier entity in our corporate structure was a corporation rather than a limited liability company, which we refer to as the Corporate Conversion. In conjunction with the Corporate Conversion, all of the outstanding Class T and Class A units of Revolve Group, LLC were converted into an aggregate of 67,889,013 shares of our Class B common stock. The holders of Class T units received an aggregate of 2,400,960 shares, representing the total preference amount for the Class T units. The remaining 65,488,053 shares of our Class B common stock were allocated on a pro rata basis to the Class T and Class A unitholders based on the number of units held by each holder. In connection with the Corporate Conversion, Revolve Group, Inc. holds all property and assets of Revolve Group, LLC and assumed all of the debts and obligations of Revolve Group, LLC. The members of the board of managers and the officers of Revolve Group, LLC became the members of the board of directors and the officers of Revolve Group, Inc.
Initial Public Offering
On June 7, 2019, we completed an IPO, in which we issued and sold 2,941,176 shares of our Class A common stock at a public offering price of $ 18.00 per share. We received approximately $ 45.8 million in net proceeds after deducting $ 3.3 million of underwriting discounts and approximately $ 3.8 million in offering costs. Upon the closing of the IPO, we used $ 40.8 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase an aggregate of 2,400,960 shares of Class B common stock held by TSG6 L.P. and certain of its affiliates, or TSG, and Capretto, LLC.
In June 2019, we issued and sold an additional 441,176 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $ 18.00 per share following the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares and received proceeds of $ 7.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of $ 0.5 million.
In connection with the IPO, 10,147,059 Class B shares were converted into Class A shares by the selling stockholders.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the allowance for sales returns, the valuation of deferred tax assets, inventory, equity‑based compensation, valuation of goodwill, reserves for income tax uncertainties and other contingencies, and breakage of store credit and gift cards.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs of $ 3.8 million, which consisted of direct incremental legal, consulting, accounting fees and other direct costs relating to the IPO, were capitalized and offset against proceeds upon the consummation of the IPO, which became effective on June 6, 2019. In the third and fourth quarters of 2019, we paid an additional $ 0.5 million in offering costs.
Net Sales
On January 1, 2019 we adopted Accounting Standard Update, or ASU, No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) , and its subsequent updates, which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance under Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 605. It provides principles for recognizing revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Upon the adoption of ASC 606 under the modified retrospective approach, we recorded a net increase of $ 0.3 million to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 resulting primarily from the recognition of breakage revenue from estimated unredeemed store credit and gift cards over the expected customer redemption period. In addition, we prospectively included expected merchandise to be returned, net of related costs, within prepaid expenses and other current assets rather than including it in our inventory balance within our consolidated balance sheets. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2019 and thereafter are presented
88
under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 605.
Revenue is primarily derived from the sale of apparel merchandise through our sites and, when applicable, shipping revenue. In accordance with ASC 606, we recognize revenue through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation. A contract is created with our customer at the time the order is placed by the customer, which creates a performance obligation to deliver the product to the customer. We recognize revenue for the performance obligation at the time control of the merchandise passes to the customer, which is at the time of shipment. In addition, we have elected to treat shipping and handling as fulfillment activities and not a separate performance obligation.
In March 2020 we launched the REVOLVE Loyalty Club within the REVOLVE segment and in April 2021 we expanded the program to include the FWRD segment. Eligible customers who enroll in the program will generally earn points for every dollar spent and will automatically receive a $ 20 reward once they earn 2,000 points. We defer revenue based on an allocation of the price of the customer purchase and the estimated standalone selling price of the points earned. Revenue is recognized once the reward is redeemed or expires or once unconverted points expire. Rewards generally expire 90 days after they are issued and unconverted points generally expire if a customer fails to engage in any activity that generates points for a period of one year or if their participation in the program is otherwise terminated.
In accordance with our policy on returns and exchanges, merchandise returns are generally accepted for full refund if returned within 30 days of the original purchase date and may be exchanged up to 60 days from the original purchase date. We modify our policy during the holiday season to extend the return and exchange period. In addition, to provide our customers with more flexibility to return or exchange during this time of increased social distancing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, merchandise returns for purchases made starting in March 2020 may be accepted for full refund if returned within 60 days of the original purchase date and may be exchanged up to 90 days from the original purchase date. At the time of sale, we establish a reserve for merchandise returns, based on historical experience, merchandise mix and expected future returns, which is recorded as a reduction of sales. Accordingly, cost of sales is also reduced and an offsetting asset is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets for expected merchandise to be returned.
The following table presents a rollforward of our sales return reserve for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 (in thousands):

We may also issue store credit in lieu of cash refunds or exchanges and sell gift cards without expiration dates to our customers. Store credits issued and proceeds from the issuance of gift cards are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue when the store credit or gift cards are redeemed or upon inclusion in our store credit and gift card breakage estimates. Revenue recognized in net sales on breakage on store credit and gift cards was $ 1.2 million, $ 1.3 million and $ 2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Sales taxes and duties collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from net sales. We currently collect sales taxes in all states that have adopted laws imposing sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state retailers and are subject to audits by state governments of sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state retailers in jurisdictions where we do not currently collect sales taxes, whether for prior years or prospectively. No significant interest or penalties related to sales taxes are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
89
We have exposure to losses from fraudulent credit card charges. We record losses when incurred related to these fraudulent charges as amounts have historically been insignificant.
See Note 11, Segment Information , for disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment, geographic area and product category.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists of the purchase price of merchandise sold to customers and includes import duties, net of drawback claims, and other taxes, inbound freight costs, receiving costs, defective merchandise returned from customers, inventory write-offs, and other miscellaneous shrinkage .
Fulfillment
Fulfillment expenses primarily consist of those costs incurred in operating and staffing the fulfillment center, including costs attributable to inspecting and warehousing inventories, picking, packaging and preparing customer orders for shipment. Fulfillment expenses also include the cost of warehousing facilities.
Selling and Distribution
Selling and distribution expenses consist of customer service, shipping and other transportation costs incurred delivering merchandise to customers and customers returning merchandise, merchant processing fees, and shipping supplies. The amount of shipping and handling costs included in selling and distribution is $ 84.8 million, $ 52.3 million, and $ 57.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Marketing
Marketing expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of targeted online performance marketing costs, such as paid search/product listing ads, paid social, retargeting, affiliate marketing, search engine optimization, personalized email marketing and mobile “push” communications through our app. Marketing expenses also include brand marketing investments, including events, fees paid to influencers, and other forms of online and offline marketing. Marketing expenses are primarily related to growing and retaining the customer base.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related benefit costs and equity‑based compensation expense for employees involved in general corporate functions including merchandising, marketing, studio and technology, as well as costs associated with the use by these functions of facilities and equipment, including depreciation, rent and other occupancy expenses.
Earnings (Net Loss) per Share
Basic earnings (net loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (net loss) per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, inclusive of the effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units, or RSUs. See Note 10, Earnings (Net Loss) per Share , for further information.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain the majority of our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds and checking accounts with major financial institutions within the United States. Deposits in these institutions may exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable are composed primarily of amounts due from financial institutions related to credit card sales. We do not maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts related to these receivables as payment is typically received in full within a few business days after the sale. We carry the remaining portion of accounts receivable at invoiced amounts less allowances for doubtful accounts and other deductions. Allowance for doubtful accounts was
90
insignificant at both December 31, 2021 and 2020. Management evaluates the ability to collect accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained based on the length of time receivables are past due and the status of a customer’s financial position. Receivables are written off in the period deemed uncollectible after collection efforts have proven unsuccessful. We do not accrue interest on our trade receivables.
Inventory
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the specific identification method. Cost of inventory includes import duties and other taxes and transport and handling costs. We write down inventory when it appears that the carrying cost of the inventory may not be recovered through subsequent sale of the inventory. We analyze the quantity of inventory on hand, the quantity sold in the past year, the anticipated sales volume, the expected sales price and the cost of making the sale when evaluating the value of our inventory. If the sales volume or sales price of specific products declines, additional write-downs may be required.
Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of expected merchandise returns net of related costs, advanced payments on inventory to be delivered from vendors, prepaid packaging, and prepaid insurance.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight‑line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of equipment and fixtures, and leasehold improvements range from three to five years or if shorter, the remaining lease term for leasehold improvements . The estimated useful life of our capitalized software is three years .
Leases
We lease office and warehouse space and equipment used in connection with our operations under various operating leases, some of which provide for rental payments on a graduated basis, rent holidays and other incentives. As of January 1, 2021, upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) as noted below, operating leases with a term greater than one year are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date. These balances are initially recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments calculated using our incremental borrowing rate and expected lease term, which includes options to extend or terminate the lease which we are reasonably certain to exercise and adjusted for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received. A right-of-use lease asset and lease liability are not recognized for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, and the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also elected to combine lease and non-lease components on all new or modified leases into a single lease component.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review long‑lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. This determination includes evaluation of factors such as future asset utilization and future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets. If circumstances require a long‑lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, we first compare undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long‑lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses were recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
91
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the related net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had goodwill of $ 2.0 million. We review our goodwill annually for impairment or when circumstances indicate its carrying value may not be recoverable.
We perform this evaluation at the reporting unit level, comprised of the principle business units within our REVOLVE segment. In order to test for goodwill impairment, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, goodwill is written down for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. However, the loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
We perform our annual impairment review of goodwill at December 31, and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are recorded net on the face of the balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more-likely than-not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50 % likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent it is believed that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax‑planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more‑likely than‑not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.
Equity-based Compensation
We measure equity-based compensation expense associated with the awards granted based on their estimated fair values at the grant date. For awards with service conditions only, equity-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method. For awards with service and performance conditions, we recognize the compensation expense if and when we conclude that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of achieving the performance condition at each reporting date. Forfeitures are recorded as they occur. See Note 9, Equity-based Compensation , for additional details.
Employee Benefit Plan
We sponsor a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan covering eligible employees. Participants may contribute a percentage of their pretax earnings annually, subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. We have the ability to make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) plan but have not done so to date.
92
Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
Fair Value Measurements
We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. We determine fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. The carrying amounts for our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, line of credit and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:
• Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full-term of the asset or liability.
• Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds, which are valued based on Level 1 inputs consisting of quoted prices in active markets. Our cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $ 172.9 million and $ 117.9 million, respectively.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Related Party Transactions
TSG is a related party of TSG6 L.P., a former investor in our Company. We incurred $ 0.5 million of management fees from TSG for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no management fees incurred from TSG for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Upon the closing of our IPO, our management agreement with TSG was terminated. There were no amounts owed to TSG as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2020, TSG6 L.P. was no longer an investor in our Company.
Certain Risks and Concentrations
We are subject to certain risks, including dependence on third‑party technology providers and hosting services for our website servers, exposure to risks associated with online commerce security, credit card fraud, as well as the interpretation of state and local laws and regulations in regards to the collection and remittance of sales and use taxes. We do not have significant vendor concentrations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 31, 2021, we lost an emerging growth company status due to our becoming a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which required us to significantly accelerate our compliance efforts to, for example, engage our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls as required by Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Furthermore, as an emerging growth company, we had elected under the JOBS Act to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable
93
to private companies. Due to our ceasing to be an emerging growth company on December 31, 2021, we are no longer eligible to delay adoption of such new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under this ASU, a lessee is generally required to recognize the lessee’s rights and obligations resulting from leases on the balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The new standard requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 extending the effective date of this new lease standard by one year. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, further extending the effective date by one year making it effective for emerging growth companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. As we lost our emerging growth company status at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted ASU 2016-02 during the fourth quarter of 2021 using the modified retrospective adoption method utilizing the simplified transition option available in ASC 842, which allows entities to continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented in the year of adoption. The effective date of adoption was January 1, 2021 and as part of our adoption we retrospectively adjusted financial statements for the first three quarters of 2021. As of the effective date of adoption, we recognized a r ight-of-use lease asset of $ 9.7 million which was adjusted for $ 1.3 million previously recorded as deferred rent and $ 0.4 million previously recorded as prepaid rent and recorded $ 4.5 million in current operating lease liabilities and $ 5.9 million in operating lease liabilities, net of current portion. In addition, we have chosen to apply the transition package of three practical expedients which allow companies not to reassess whether agreements contain leases, the classification of leases, and the capitalization of initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight when determining the lease term.
As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02, the impact to our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 was as follows (in thousands):

As a result of adopting ASU 2016-02, there was no impact to our consolidated statements of income.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . The standard requires entities to utilize a new impairment model, known as the current expected credit loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes an allowance for estimated credit losses upon recognition of the financial instrument. The new guidance also changes the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities, requiring the use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses and subsequent recoveries. As we lost our emerging growth company status at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted ASU 2016-13 during the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective date of adoption was January 1, 2021 . This standard did not have a have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing step two from the goodwill impairment test. Under this new guidance, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment charge shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The update also eliminates the requirement for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. As we lost our emerging growth company status at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted ASU 2017-04 during the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective date of adoption was January 1, 2021 . This standard did not have a have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. As we lost our emerging growth company status at the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we adopted ASU 2019-12 during the fourth quarter of 2021. The effective date of adoption was January 1, 2021 . This standard did not have a have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net
The carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $ 2.0 million. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Note 5. Leases
During the fourth quarter of 2021 we adopted ASU 2016-02. The effective date of adoption was January 1, 2021 and as part of our adoption we retrospectively adjusted financial statements for the first three quarters of 2021. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies for more information.
We lease office and warehouse space and equipment used in connection with our operations under various operating leases, some of which provide for rental payments on a graduated basis, rent holidays and other incentives. Operating leases with a term greater than one year are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date. These balances are initially recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments calculated using our incremental borrowing rate and expected lease term and adjusted for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.
The following table includes the components of our lease expense recorded in fulfillment expenses and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Note 6. Line of Credit
On March 23, 2021, we am ended and restated our existing credit agreement to, among other things, extend the expiration date from March 23, 2021 to March 23, 2026 . The line of credit provides us with up to $ 75.0 million aggregate principal in revolver borrowings, based on eligible inventory and accounts receivable less reserves. Borrowings under the credit agreement accrue interest, at our option, at (1) a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate, plus 0.50 %, (b) the prime rate and (c) an adjusted LIBO rate determined on the basis of a one-month interest period , plus 1.00 %, or (2) an adjusted LIBO rate, subject to a floor of 0.00 %, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.25 % to 0.75 % per year in the case of base rate loans, and 1.25 % to 1.75 % per year in the case of LIBO rate loans. No borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
We are also obligated to pay other customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, including an unused commitment fee. The credit agreement also permits us, in certain circumstances, to request an increase in the facility by an additional amount of up to $ 25.0 million (in an initial minimum amount of $ 10 million and in increments of $ 5 million thereafter) at the same maturity, pric ing and other terms. Our obligations under the credit agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. The credit agreement also contains customary covenants restricting our activities, including limitations on our ability to sell assets, engage in mergers and acquisitions, enter into transactions involving related parties, obtain letters of credit, incur indebtedness or grant liens or negative pledges on our assets, make loans or make other investments. Under the covenants, we are prohibited from paying cash dividends with respect to our capital stock . We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Although we cannot predict with assurance the outcome of any litigation or tax matters, we do not believe there are currently any such actions that, if resolved unfavorably, would have a material impact on our operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Indemnifications
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to vendors, directors, officers and other parties with respect to certain matters. We have not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in our consolidated financial statements.
Tax Contingencies
We are subject to income taxes in the United States and the United Kingdom, or UK. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We establish reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates or whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when we believe that certain positions might be challenged despite our belief that our tax return positions are fully supportable. We adjust these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances,
99
such as the outcome of tax audits. Our provision for income taxes does not include any reserve provision because we believe that all of our tax positions are highly certain.
Legal Proceedings
We are a defendant in a purported class action lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, which was filed in May 2019, arising from employee wage-and-hour claims under California law for alleged meal period, rest period, payment of wages at separation, wage statement violations, and unfair business practices. On January 6, 2020, we and the individual defendant in the case entered into a binding memorandum of understanding to settle the case. In December 2019, we accrued approximately $ 1.0 million to general and administrative expenses which, as of December 31, 2020, still remained accrued within accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On January 5, 2021, the court granted approval of the settlement, which was subsequently paid by the Company during the first quarter of 2021.
Leases
We have obligations under operating leases for office and fulfillment facilities. For a description of our leases, please see Note 5, Leases .

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we filed a consolidated federal and state income tax return for Revolve Group, Inc. We believe that there are no uncertain tax positions that would impact the accompanying consolidated financial statements. We do not anticipate there will be a material change in our recognition of uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.
The tax years ended December 31, 2018 through 2021 remain subject to possible examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through 2021 remain subject to possible examination by
101
state tax jurisdictions. No interest or penalties related to income taxes are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Note 9. Equity-based Compensation
In 2013, Twist Holdings, LLC, or Twist, and Advance Holdings, LLC, or Advance, which became the Revolve Group, Inc., adopted equity incentive plans, which we refer to collectively as the 2013 Plan, pursuant to which the board of managers could grant options to purchase Class A units to officers and employees. Options could be granted with an exercise price equal to or greater than the unit’s fair value at the date of grant. All issued awards have 10 year terms and generally vest and become fully exercisable annually over five years of service from the date of grant. Awards will become fully vested upon the sale of the company.
On March 15, 2018, all outstanding options to purchase Class A units of Twist granted under the Twist Holdings, LLC 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, each of which we refer to as a Twist Option, were exchanged for options to purchase Class A units of Revolve Group, Inc. under the 2013 Plan. The number of Revolve Group, Inc. Class A units and the per unit exercise price of each converted option was adjusted from the underlying Twist Option by taking into account the implied values of Twist and Revolve Group, Inc. as of immediately before the exchange and in a manner that did not result in an increase to the intrinsic value of the converted option. In addition, the 2013 Plan was amended to increase the maximum number of Class A units available to be issued to 6,207,978 .
Upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Conversion on June 6, 2019, as discussed in Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies , the options to purchase Class A units of Revolve Group, LLC were converted into options to purchase Class B common stock of Revolve Group, Inc. on a 1:1 basis and in a manner that did not result in an increase to the intrinsic value of the converted option.
In September 2018, the board of directors adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, which became effective in June 2019. Under the 2019 Plan, a total of 4,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock are reserved for issuance as options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance units or performance shares. Upon the completion of our IPO, the 2019 Plan replaced the 2013 Plan, however, the 2013 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted under that plan. The number of shares that will be available for issuance under our 2019 Plan also will increase annually on the first day of each year beginning in 2020, in an amount equal to the least of: (1) 6,900,000 shares, (2) 5 % of the outstanding shares of all classes of our common stock as of the last day of the immediately preceding year and (3) such other amount as our board of directors may determine . All future grants going forward will be issued under the 2019 Plan. On January 1, 2021, the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan was increased by 2.0 million shares to approximately 5.0 million shares. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 4.9 million common shares remain available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan. On January 1, 2022, the number of shares available under the 2019 Plan was further increased by 3.7 million shares to approximately 8.6 million shares.
102
The grant-date fair value of RSUs is measured on the grant date based on the closing fair market value of our Class A common stock. The grant-date fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires inputs such as expected term, fair value per unit of our Class A shares, expected volatility and risk-free interest rate. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. We utilized the simplified method for calculating expected term for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 using the average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the option, as we do not have enough historical data to estimate the expected term. The dividend yield is 0 %, as we have not paid, nor do we expect to pay, dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term. For the options granted in 2021, expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatility of the Company's stock. For the options granted in 2020 and 2019, expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares. For the options granted during 2019, we relied on valuations of our Class A shares prepared by an independent third-party valuation firm in accordance with the guidance provided by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 2013 Practice Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, the results of which were aligned with our internal valuation approach. For the options granted during 2021 and 2020, the fair value is based on observable market prices.
All historical data presented in the tables within this footnote have been recast to retroactively reflect all share and per share data of options as if they had been issued by Revolve Group, Inc. and that both the reverse split and Corporate Conversion had occurred. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for further information regarding the reverse split and Corporate Conversion.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $ 11.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options and RSUs granted under the 2013 Plan and 2019 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average service period of 3.3 years.
Equity‑based compensation cost that has been included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income amounted to $ 4.8 million, $ 3.4 million, and $ 2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. An excess income tax benefit of $ 17.6 million, $ 9.6 million and $ 0.6 million was recognized in the consolidated statements of income for equity‑based compensation arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Note 10. Earnings (Net Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (net loss) per share is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock. In connection with our IPO, we established two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are identical, except for voting and conversion rights. Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock.
Basic earnings (net loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings (net loss) per share represents net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding, inclusive of the effect of dilutive stock options and RSUs. For the year ended December 31, 2019, our potential dilutive shares relating to stock options and RSUs were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (net loss) per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. The undistributed earnings are allocated based on the participation rights of shares of Class A and Class B common stock as if the earnings for the year have been distributed. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical for both classes, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis.
The calculation of diluted earnings per share for Class A common stock assumes the conversion of Class B common stock, while diluted earnings per share of Class B common stock does not assume the conversion of Class A common stock as Class A common stock is not convertible into Class B common stock. Similarly, outstanding options to purchase Class B common stock and RSUs that are dilutive are included in the calculation of diluted earnings for both Class A and Class B common stock.
For the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (net loss) per share for the year ended December 31, 2019, the $ 40.8 million of Class B shares issued and subsequently repurchased in connection with our IPO to satisfy the total preference amount for the Class T Units is treated as a dividend and subtracted from net income available to common stockholders on a proportionate basis. In addition, the net losses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were not allocated to our participating security as the Class T preferred units were not contractually obligated to share in the Company’s losses.
Basic and diluted earnings (net loss) per share and the weighted-average shares outstanding have been computed for all periods shown below to give effect to the reverse split, the Corporate Conversion and the repurchase of shares of Class B common stock that occurred in connection with our IPO. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for further information regarding the reverse split and Corporate Conversion.

Note 11. Segment Information
We have two reportable segments, REVOLVE and FWRD, each offering apparel, shoes, accessories, and beauty products available for sale to customers through their respective websites. Our reportable segments have been identified based on how our chief operating decision makers manage our business, make operating decisions, and evaluate operating performance. Our chief operating decision makers are our co-chief executive officers. We evaluate the performance of our reportable segments based on net sales and gross profit. Management does not evaluate the performance of our reportable segments using asset measures. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no customer represented over 10 % of net sales.
The following table summarizes our net sales and gross profit for each of our reportable segments (in thousands):

None.
Item 9A. CONTROL S AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2021.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 , based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our co-chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2021 .
Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, as stated in their report which is included herein.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
108
Inherent Limitation on Effectiveness of Internal Control
The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating and evaluating the controls and procedures and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
