Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined under the Exchange Act, means controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of this fact, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has performed additional reconciliations and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and as previously disclosed in the Prospectus, in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31 2020, 2019 and 2018, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified certain control deficiencies in the design and implementation of our internal control over financial reporting that, in the aggregate, constituted a material weakness. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Our material weakness related to the following control deficiencies:
We did not design and maintain effective control over our accounting and proprietary data systems used in our financial reporting process. These systems lacked controls over user access, program change management, computer operation and data validation to ensure that IT program and data changes affecting financial accounting applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately.
We did not design and maintain adequate controls over the preparation and review of certain account reconciliations and journal entries. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls and we did not maintain a sufficient complement of accounting personnel to ensure (i) the appropriate segregation of duties in the preparation and review of account reconciliations and journal entries and (ii) account reconciliations were prepared and reviewed at the appropriate level of precision on a consistent and timely basis.
The deficiencies described above, if not remediated, could result in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures in our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and, accordingly, we determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness.

Remediation Plans
To address our material weakness, we have added accounting, finance and information technology personnel and implemented new financial accounting processes. We are continuing to take steps to remediate the material weakness described above through implementing enhancements and controls within our accounting and proprietary systems, hiring additional qualified accounting, finance and information technology resources and further evolving our accounting and annual close processes. We will not be able to fully remediate these control deficiencies until these steps have been completed and the controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to our internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite our employees working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designated and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
ThredUp Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ThredUp Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and 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.
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, 2020 due to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 842, Leases .
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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (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.
/s/ KPMG LLP
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
ThredUp Inc. (“ThredUp” or the “Company”) was formed as a corporation in the State of Delaware in January 2009. ThredUp is a large resale platform that enables consumers to buy and sell primarily secondhand women’s and kid’s apparel, shoes and accessories. The Company conducts its marketing and administrative functions from Oakland, California and Scottsdale, Arizona and operates its fulfillment centers in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. Another distribution center in Texas is under construction. The Company expanded its operations to Europe through its acquisition of Remix, which closed in October 2021.
Initial Public Offering
The Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 related to its initial public offering (the “IPO”) was declared effective on March 25, 2021 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Company’s Class A common stock began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 26, 2021. Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company sold 13,800,000 shares of Class A common stock to the public at a price of $ 14.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds were $ 175.5 million after deducting offering costs, underwriting discounts and commissions of $ 17.7 million.
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company filed its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which authorized a total of 1,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 120,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock.
Immediately prior to the completion of the IPO, 65,970,938 shares of the convertible preferr ed stock then outstanding were converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock. The Company reclassified the convertible preferred stock to Class B common stock and additional paid-in capital upon the conversion in the three months ended March 31, 2021. 12,889,760 shares of the outstanding historical common stock were reclassified into an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock. 164,973 shares of the convertible preferred stock warrants were converted to an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock warrants.
Follow-on Public Offering
On August 2, 2021, the Company issued and sold 2,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $ 24.25 per share in a registered public offering. The aggregate net proceeds were $ 45.5 million, after deducting $ 3.3 million of underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Refer to Note 10, Common Stock and Common Stock Warrants for more details.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the useful lives of property and equipment and intangibles, allowance for sales returns, allowance for bad debts, breakage on loyalty points and rewards, valuation of inventory, warrants, stock-based compensation, valuation of right-of-use assets, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangibles and income taxes.

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted businesses worldwide and has impacted various aspects of the Company’s business and operations. The Company’s revenue growth and operating spend has been and may continue to be affected by COVID-19 and related restrictions on business, labor cost increases and supply chain issues. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of significant judgment.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s functional currency is the United States (“U.S.”) dollar for its operations except for Remix whose functional currency is the Bulgarian lev. In accordance with authoritative guidance, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from the respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates, while income and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate during the period in which the transactions occurred. The related translation adjustments are reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Topic 606 (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for those goods and services. The Company generates the majority of its revenue from its marketplace, which allows its buyers to browse and purchase resale items for women’s and kids’ apparel, shoes and accessories on behalf of sellers. The Company recognizes 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, it satisfies a performance obligation.
Both buyers and sellers may be customers in the Company’s revenue arrangements. Sellers are the primary customer in a consignment arrangement while the buyer is the primary customer in sale of Company-owned inventory, referred to as product sales. A contract with a customer exists in both cases when the end-customer purchases the goods obligating the Company to deliver the identified performance obligation(s). Generally, the Company requires authorization from a credit card or other payment method (such as PayPal), or verification of receipt of payment, before the products are shipped to buyers. The Company generally receives payments from buyers before payments to the sellers are due.
Consignment Revenue
The Company generates consignment revenue from the sale of secondhand women’s and kids’ apparel, shoes and accessories on behalf of sellers. The Company retains a percentage of the proceeds received as payment for its consignment service. The Company reports consignment revenue on a net basis as an agent and not the gross amount collected from the buyer. Title to the consigned goods remain with the consignor until transferred to the buyer, which occurs subsequent to purchase of the consigned goods and upon expiration of the allotted return period. The Company does not take title of consigned goods at any time except in certain cases where the consignment window expires or returned goods become Company-owned inventory.
Consignment revenue is recognized upon purchase of the consigned good by the buyer as its performance obligation of providing consignment services to the consignor is satisfied at that point. Consignment revenue is recognized net of seller payouts, discounts, incentives and returns. Sales tax assessed by governmental authorities is excluded from revenue.
F-11
T ab le of Content s
Product Revenue
The Company recognizes product revenue on a gross basis as the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. Online sales and sales to third-party retail partners are generally recognized upon shipment of the purchased good to the buyer. Product revenue is recognized net of discounts, incentives and returns. Sales tax assessed by governmental authorities is excluded from revenue.
Shipping Fees
The Company charges shipping fees to buyers, which are included in revenue. All outbound shipping costs are accounted for in cost of revenue at the time revenue is recognized.
Returns
The Company generally has a 14 -day return period which may change from time to time and recognizes a returns reserve, based on historical experience, which is recorded in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
Incentives
Incentives include website discounts, customer credits and loyalty program rewards issued to sellers and buyers. Incentives are treated as a reduction of product revenue and consignment revenue. Revenue treatment for our loyalty program is discussed further below under Deferred Revenue.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue consists primarily of cash collections for product items purchased, but not shipped, and revenue allocated to unredeemed loyalty points. Cash collections for items purchased, but not shipped, are generally recognized as revenue upon shipment. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $ 1.7 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, in deferred revenue for such items, which were recognized shortly after the period end, and are included in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
In August 2019, the Company launched a customer loyalty program that provides customers with rewards that can be applied to future purchases or other incentives. Loyalty points and rewards are accounted for as separate performance obligations and accrued as deferred revenue in the amount of the transaction price allocated to the points and rewards. The allocated transaction price is based on the estimated fair value per point, net of breakage. Breakage is estimated based on the Company’s historical redemption rates. Revenue is recognized when the loyalty rewards are redeemed or expire. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a liability of $ 4.0 million and $ 4.1 million, respectively, related to the loyalty program which is included in accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized $ 13.8 million, $ 6.6 million and $ 0.1 million of revenue related to loyalty points in the 2021, 2020 and 2019 periods, respectively. Revenue allocated to loyalty points is expected to be recognized within one year as loyalty points expire 12 months after issuance.
Revenue by Geographic Area
Revenue is attributed to a geographic area based on the shipped-from location. The following summarizes the Company’s revenue by geographic area (in thousands):
Year Ended
December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
North America $ 240,677 $ 186,015 $ 163,812
Europe 11,115 — —
Total $ 251,792 $ 186,015 $ 163,812
F-12
T ab le of Content s
Europe net sales in the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily coming from the Company’s Remix operations acquired in 2021.
Segments
The Company operates under one operating segment and one reportable segment as its chief operating decision maker, who is its Chief Executive Officer, reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The long-lived assets, excluding goodwill and intangible assets, outside of the United States are immaterial.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. Significant estimates in valuing intangible assets include, but are not limited to, expected future cash flows, which includes consideration of future growth and margins, future changes in technology, brand awareness and discount rates. Fair value estimates are based on the assumptions that management believes to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. After the purchase accounting is finalized, any subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition costs, such as legal and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders
The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares issued meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method determines net loss per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company’s convertible preferred stock contractually entitles the holders of such shares to participate in dividends but does not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses.
The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock are identical, other than voting rights. As the liquidation and dividend rights and sharing of losses are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis and the resulting net loss per share attributed to common stockholders will, therefore, be the same for both Class A and Class B common stock on an individual or combined basis.
For periods in which the Company reports net losses, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, because potentially dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other charges or credits to equity that are not the result of transactions with owners. There was $ 0.7 million foreign currency translation loss included in the other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were $ 0.4 million other comprehensive losses related to unrealized gains or losses on debt securities classified as available-for-sale for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no material unrealized gains or losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company classifies all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of bank deposits and commercial paper, and money market funds.
Restricted cash primarily represents letters of credit with financial institutions held as collateral for its facility leases. Restricted cash is classified non-current if the Company expects that the cash will remain restricted for a period greater than one-year. Current restricted cash is included in other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents as well as restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets to the amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):
December 31,
2021 2020
Cash and cash equivalents $ 84,550 $ 64,485
Restricted cash, current 560 364
Restricted cash, non-current 6,730 2,690
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows $ 91,840 $ 67,539
Restricted cash, non-current of $ 6.7 million and $ 2.7 million is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Marketable Securities
The Company invests its excess cash in investment grade, short to intermediate-term, fixed income securities and recognizes the transaction on the trade-date. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale in current assets because they represent investments of cash available for current operations. Marketable securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) until realized. The marketable securities are reviewed periodically to identify possible other-than-temporary impairments. Realized gains or losses and other-than-temporary impairments, if any, on available-for sale securities are reported in other income, net as incurred.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company deposits cash at major financial institutions, and at times, such cash may exceed federally insured limits. The credit risk is believed to be minimal due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. The Company has never experienced any losses on deposits since inception. The Company’s investment policy restricts cash investments to highly liquid, short to intermediate-term, high grade fixed income securities, and as a result, the Company believes its cash equivalents and marketable securities represent minimal credit risk.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts receivable balance. There were no customers that individually exceeded 10% of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
F-14
T ab le of Content s
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from payment processors and trade customers that do not bear interest. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its trade accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted for current market conditions, the financial condition of the customer, the amount of receivables in dispute, and the current receivables aging and payment patterns. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Inventory, Net
Inventories, consisting of merchandise that the Company has purchased and holds title, are accounted for using the specific identification method, and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventory is equal to the cost of the merchandise paid to the seller and related inbound shipping costs. Inventory valuation requires the Company to make judgments based on currently available information about the likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category. The Company records an inventory write-down based on the age of the inventory and historical experience of expected sell-through.
Property and Equipment, Net
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.
The estimated useful lives of the Company’s property and equipment are as follows:
Machinery and equipment 3 - 10 years
Internal-use software 1 - 3 years
Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life
Computers and software 2 - 3 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 - 7 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and improvements and betterments are capitalized.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance sheet and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in the period realized.
Internal-Use Software
The Company capitalizes qualifying proprietary software development costs that are incurred during the application development stage. Capitalization of costs begins when two criteria are met: (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, and (ii) it is probable that the software will be completed and placed in service for its intended use. Capitalization ceases when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use including the completion of all significant testing. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post implementation operating activities are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future
F-15
T ab le of Content s
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is equal to the excess of the fair value over the carrying amount of the impaired assets. There were no impairments of long-lived assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of its fourth fiscal quarter and in interim periods if events occur that would indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount.
Acquired Intangible Assets
When a business is acquired, a portion of the purchase price is typically allocated to identifiable intangible assets, such as trademark, acquired technology and customer relationships. Fair value of these assets is determined primarily using the income approach, which requires the management to project future cash flows and apply an appropriate discount rate. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their economic lives ranging from 3 years to 9 years. Estimates are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur. Incorrect estimates could result in future impairment charges, and those charges could be material to the Company’s results of operations.
Other Investment
The Company made a strategic investment in preferred shares of a privately held online retail company in October 2021. The Company accounts for its investment in accordance with ASC 321 , Investments – Equity Securities (“ASC 321”). Upon acquisition, the investment is measured at cost, which represents the then fair value. Under ASC 321, the Company can elect to subsequently measure the investments at initial cost, minus impairment and any changes, plus or minus, resulting from observable price in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. This election must be made for each investment separately. Changes in the carrying value of other investment are recognized through net loss. Each reporting period, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. The Company’s assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investee securities and other factors that raise concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the investment is impaired, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds the estimated fair value of the investment, with the impairment charge recognized through net loss. The Company’s non-marketable equity investment of $ 3.8 million was included in the other assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and there was no impairment recognized on the investment.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company records asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) for the estimated cost of restoring its automated warehouse facilities to the specific condition required per the terms of its lease agreement, upon termination of the lease. AROs represent the present value of the expected costs and timing of the related obligations incurred. The ARO assets and liabilities are recorded in property and equipment within the machinery and equipment line item and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company records accretion expense, which represents the increase in the ARO, over the remaining estimated duration of the lease including renewal periods that are included in the lease life.
F-16
T ab le of Content s
Accretion expense is recorded in operations, product and technology expense in the consolidated statement of operations using accretion rates based on credit adjusted risk-free interest rates.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the optional transition method and applied the standard only to leases that existed at that date.
Under ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception by assessing whether the arrangement contains an identified asset and whether it has the right to control the identified asset. Lessees are required to classify leases as either finance or operating leases and to record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than 12 months regardless of the lease classification. The lease classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest rate method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company determines the initial classification and measurement of its ROU assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date and thereafter if modified. ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets are based on the measurement of the lease liability and also include any lease payments made prior to or on lease commencement and exclude lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, as applicable.
As the implicit rate in the Company's leases is generally unknown, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. The Company gives consideration to its existing credit arrangements, term of the lease, total lease payments and adjust for the impacts of collateral, as necessary, when calculating its incremental borrowing rates. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise any such options. Lease costs for the Company's operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the lease term.
The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for real estate leases and, as a result, accounts for lease and non-lease components as one component. The Company has also elected to not apply the recognition requirement to any leases within its existing classes of assets with a term of 12 months or less. For these leases, lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation is incurred.
Seller Payable
Seller payable includes amounts owed to sellers upon the purchase of sellers’ goods by the Company or by buyers. Amounts are initially provided as a credit to sellers. These credits may be applied towards purchases from the Company, converted to third-party retailer or thredUP gift cards or redeemed for cash.
Gift Cards and Site and Seller Credits
The Company sells thredUP gift cards on its e-commerce website. Seller credits and site credits can be converted to thredUP gift cards. thredUP gift cards do not expire or lose value over periods of inactivity. The Company accounts for gift cards by recognizing a gift card liability at the time a gift card is delivered to the customer. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 7.3 million and $ 6.2 million of gift card liability, respectively, was included in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Revenue from gift cards is generally recognized when the gift cards are redeemed by the customer and amounted to $ 0.9 million, $ 0.6 million and $ 0.1 million in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 respectively.
F-17
T ab le of Content s
The Company issues both site credits and seller credits. The Company issues site credits for various reasons such as for promotions or for refunds. The Company issues seller credits to sellers in exchange for consignment items sold. Site credits can be applied towards future charges but cannot be converted into cash. Site credits and seller credits may also be converted to thredUP gift cards after one year at the discretion of the Company. These credits are recognized as revenue when used, converted, or expired. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, $ 5.9 million and $ 3.2 million, respectively, of such customer site credits were included in accrued and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Breakage on gift cards and site credits is immaterial 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 operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income on the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered and 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. The Company recognizes 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. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of consignment revenue consists of outbound shipping, outbound labor and packaging costs. Cost of product revenue mainly consists of the inventory cost, inbound shipping related to the sold merchandise, outbound shipping, outbound labor, packaging costs and inventory write-downs.
Operations, Product and Technology
Operations, product and technology expenses consist primarily of distribution center operating costs and product and technology expenses. Distribution center operating costs include personnel costs, distribution center rent, maintenance and equipment depreciation as well as inbound shipping costs, other than those capitalized in inventory. Product and technology costs include personnel costs for the design and development of product and the related technology that is used to operate the distribution centers, merchandise science, website development and related expenses for these departments. Operations, product and technology expenses also include an allocation of corporate facilities and information technology costs including equipment, depreciation and rent.

Sales, General and Administrative
Sales, general and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs for employees involved in general corporate functions, including accounting, finance, tax, legal and people services; customer service; and retail stores. Sales, general and administrative also includes payment processing fees, professional fees and allocation of corporate facilities and information technology costs such as equipment, depreciation and rent.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation costs are based on the fair values on the date of grant for stock awards and stock options and on the date of enrollment for the employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). The fair values of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) are based on ThredUp’s stock price on the date of grant. The fair values of stock options and ESPP are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair values of equity awards are recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period or over the period in which the related services are received (generally the vesting period), using the straight-line method. The estimated fair value of equity awards that contain performance conditions is expensed over the term of the award once the Company has determined that it is probable that performance conditions will be satisfied. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The determination of fair value for share-based awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions regarding subjective variables.
Prior Period Reclassifications
Within the consolidated balance sheets, the Company included restricted cash, non-current within non-current other assets for the prior period to conform with current period presentation.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value accounting is applied for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amount of accounts receivable, other current assets, other assets, accounts payable, seller payable and accrued and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturities. Management believes the terms of its long-term debt reflect current market conditions for an instrument with similar terms and maturity, therefore the carrying value of the Company’s debt approximated its fair value.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-10, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03, which replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss model and requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
3. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
For all of the marketable securities, the Company utilizes third-party pricing services to obtain fair value. Third-party pricing methodologies incorporate bond terms and conditions, current performance data, proprietary pricing models, real-time quotes from contributing dealers, trade prices and other market data.

The Company’s commercial papers were valued using Level 2 inputs because they are valued using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the amortized cost of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximate their estimated fair values.
As of December 31, 2021, out of the $ 121.3 million carrying amount of marketable securities, $ 49.0 million had a contractual maturity date of less than one year and $ 72.2 million had a contractual maturity date between one and two years.

5. Acquisition of Remix
On July 24, 2021, the Company entered into Share Purchase Agreements with the shareholders of Remix, a fashion resale company headquartered in Sofia, Bulgaria, to purchase 100 % of the outstanding equity interests of Remix and its subsidiary. The acquisition of Remix closed on October 7, 2021. With this acquisition, the Company added a complementary operational infrastructure and an experienced management team to enable its expansion into Europe.
The Company acquired the business for total cash consideration of $ 25.6 million and future issuance of 130,597 Class A common shares in 2023 with a fair value of $ 2.7 million as of the closing date. Revenue of $ 11.1 million and net loss of $ 1.2 million from this acquisition have been included in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through December 31, 2021.

Trademarks relates to the “Remix” trade name. Developed technology and trademarks were valued using the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. This method involves forecasting avoided royalties, reducing them by taxes and discounting the resulting net cash flows to a present value using an appropriate discount rate that requires judgement by management.
The Company did not present pro forma and other financial information for the acquisition of Remix, as this is not considered to be a material business combination.

2010 Stock Incentive Plan
In 2010, the Company adopted the Second Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Plan (“2010 Plan”), and amended the 2010 Plan in 2011. The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of stock awards to employees, consultants and directors of the Company. Options granted under the 2010 Plan may either be Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) or Nonstatutory Stock Options (“NSOs”). ISOs may be granted to Company employees only, while stock awards other than ISOs may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. In 2020, the board of directors authorized an additional 6.5 million shares for the 2010 Plan. In 2021, the board of directors authorized an additional 1.0 million shares for the 2010 Plan.
Stock awards under the 2010 Plan may be granted with terms of up to 10 years and at prices determined by the board of directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO or NSO shall not be less than 100 % of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of the grant, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% or more stockholder shall not be less than 110 % of the
F-28
T ab le of Content s
estimated fair value of the shares on the grant date. The options generally vest over a four-year period. For certain options, vesting accelerates upon the occurrence of specified events, such as a change of control.
IPO Options Under the 2010 Plan
In August 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved stock options for 3,588,535 common shares to be granted to certain officers and employees with an exercise price of $ 2.05 per share. 50 % of the options granted vest over a four -year period commencing on the effective date of the IPO. The remaining 50 % of the options granted vest over a four -year period commencing on the one -year anniversary of the IPO. As these stock options vest upon the satisfaction of both a time-based condition and a performance condition, the fair value of these stock options of $ 6.7 million, in aggregate, will be recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period using the accelerated attribution method . In the year ended on December 31, 2021, $ 3.2 million was recognized as compensation expense from stock options subject to these performance conditions.
2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
In February 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2021 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) to replace the 2010 Plan, which was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders in March 2021. The 2021 Plan became effective on March 24, 2021 .

________________
(1) Assumptions include non-employee options after adoption of ASU 2018-07 as of January 1, 2020.
Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment.
Fair Value of Common Stock —Historically, for all periods prior to the IPO in March 2021, the fair value of the shares of common stock has historically been determined by the Company’s board of directors as there was no public market for the common stock. The board of directors determines the fair value of our common stock by considering a number of objective and subjective factors, including: the valuation of comparable companies, sales of preferred stock to unrelated third parties, our operating and financial performance, the lack of liquidity of common stock and general and industry specific economic outlook, amongst other factors. After the completion of the IPO in March 2021, the fair value of each share of underlying common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the date of grant on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Expected Term —The expected term represents the period that the Company’s stock options are expected to be outstanding and is determined using the simplified method (based on the mid-point between the vesting date and the end of the contractual term) as the Company has concluded that its stock option exercise history does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.
Volatility — Because the Company does not have sufficient trading history for its common stock, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average volatility for comparable publicly-traded companies, over a period equal to the expected term of the stock option grants.
Risk-free Rate —The risk-free rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues in effect at the time of grant for periods corresponding with the expected term of the option.
Dividends —The Company has never paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying dividends on common stock. Therefore, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero .
2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In February 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders in March 2021. The ESPP became effective on March 24, 2021. The first offering period began on March 25, 2021, and there was $ 0.5 million in stock-based compensation related to the ESPP for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Company used the following assumptions to estimate the fair value of stock offered under the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2021:

Restricted Stock Units
The Company issues service-based and performance-based RSUs to employees. The RSUs automatically convert to shares of the Company’s common stock on a one -for-one basis as the awards vest. RSUs granted to newly hired employees typically vest 25 % annually over 4 years commencing on the date of grant. The RSUs are measured at grant date fair value, at the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to the RSUs ratably over the employee respective requisite service period.
The following table summarizes RSUs excluding RSUs with performance-based vesting conditions (“PSUs”) activity under the 2021 Plan:

Legal Contingencies
The Company is subject to litigation claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management does not believe that any such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made.
13. Retirement Plan
In 2010, the Company sponsored a defined-contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all United States employees who meet defined minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pretax basis. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, no employer contributions were made to the 401(k) Plan.
14. Income Taxes

provision, which was current, was $ 80,000 and $ 56,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rate, as a percentage of pretax income, differs from the statutory federal rate primarily due to the valuation allowance that the Company records on its deferred tax assets as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be fully realized.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Net deferred tax assets consist primarily of net operating losses of approximately $ 75.8 million as of December 31, 2021 and $ 53.6 million as of 2020 related to U.S. federal and state taxes. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has established a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 due to the uncertainty of realizing future benefits from its net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance
F-33
T ab le of Content s
increased by approximately $ 18.8 million and $ 10.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Federal and state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 297.7 million, $ 203.2 million and $ 12.0 million, respectively, for income tax purposes are available to offset future taxable income as of December 31, 2021. $ 189.4 million of the U.S. federal net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely and are available to offset 80% of future taxable income. If not used, these carryforwards will begin to expire in varying amounts beginning in 2030.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 and similar California legislation impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the event that there is a change in ownership as provided by Section 382 and Section 383 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such a limitation could result in the limitation and/or expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits before utilization, which could result in increased future tax liabilities when the Company becomes taxable for federal or state purposes. While the Company has experienced an ownership change since its inception, an immaterial amount of net operating losses or tax credits has been limited as of December 31, 2021.
The Company has no uncertain tax positions, and the Company’s policy is to recognize interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. There was no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
The Company’s tax years 2010 through current will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss credits. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in federal, state or other jurisdictions.
