Overstock.com reports Q1 adjusted EPS (10c), consensus (15c)

Reports Q1 revenue $381M, consensus $357.52M. "The team delivered positive adjusted EBITDA for the twelfth consecutive quarter," said CEO Jonathan Johnson. "I am pleased with their efforts to accomplish this in a challenging environment. Our revenue trend improved each month during the quarter, with a more meaningful improvement in late Q1. Importantly, our home-only revenue trend slightly improved in Q1 after stabilizing over the prior two quarters. We continued to navigate a highly competitive landscape to deliver healthy gross margins. While the economic and consumer environment remains uncertain, our strong cash position allows us to focus on executing our plans for the year and continue to deploy new strategies to drive growth. This month, we launched the next phase of our marketing campaign to build on our brand’s association with home," continued Johnson. "We are highlighting our smart value brand pillar of ‘quality and style for less’ – a key differentiator for Overstock in the large and fragmented furniture and home furnishings market."
