Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

Yeah, well, maybe let's step back and sort of speak to the quarter we just reported, then I'm happy to shift to guidance.

Bloomberg Talks

You know, we feel really great about the quarter we just reported.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

I think it highlighted and capped off a year of incredible momentum for us.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

We opened up the year flat.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

We, you know, exited the year at 7% revenue growth, 8%, you know, managing for the exit of Germany.

Bloomberg Talks

and we flowed through to improved EBITDA.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

EBITDA grew year-over-year about 60%, right?

Bloomberg Talks

And that story continues with our guide into Q1.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

We feel really good about the guide, the mid-single digits revenue growth and improved adjusted EBITDA throughout the quarter.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

So when we look at it, we feel that we produced pretty strong results.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

Yeah, you know, actually, you know, as we talk to investors, I think, again, they're pleased with the momentum that we see here.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

You know, obviously, we're in a category that has been under pressure, right?

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

So the category itself, we think, was down low single digits in the fourth quarter.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

You know, to your earlier question sort of around weather in the first quarter, we do think the category has been impacted in the first quarter of this year.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

you know likely you know down low single digits again maybe slightly worse even than q4 so there's certainly some complexity in the overall category here you know what can we focus on we can focus on what we can control and our share gain continues to be a real source of strength you see us outstripping the category by several points right and that's continued you know q3 q4 and then again into the guide in q1

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

It's a great question.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

So active customers is one of our reported KPIs.

Bloomberg Talks
Wayfair CFO Kate Gulliver Talks Earnings, Customer Demand, Expansion

It's actually a lagging indicator.

Bloomberg Talks

That metric is LTM active customers, so anyone who sort of placed an order within the last 12 months.
