Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward looking statements, including statements regarding our investment plans and anticipated returns on those investments; our plans for growth, including customer growth; our future results of operations and financial position; available liquidity and access to financing sources; anticipated cost-cutting and liability and dilution management exercises and the expected results of such exercises; our business strategy; plans and objectives of management for future operations, including regarding our physical retail stores and omni-channel strategy; investment in our logistics network; consumer activity and behaviors; developments in our technology and systems, including our use of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies and the anticipated results of those developments; and the impact of macroeconomic events, including interest rates, tariffs and inflation, and our response to such events. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “aim,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “could,” “intends,” “goals,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts” or “potential” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate, although we believe that we have been reasonable in our expectations and assumptions. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or that known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from Wayfair’s forward-looking statements, including our expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

Factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future results include, without limitation, the following:

•adverse macroeconomic conditions, including: economic instability; changes in laws and regulations and other governmental actions or policies, including those related to taxes and new or increased tariffs, and the uncertainty surrounding potential changes in such laws and regulations or other potential governmental actions or policies; export controls; sustained higher interest rates and inflation; slower growth or the potential for recession; disruptions in the global supply chain and other conditions affecting the retail environment for products we sell; geopolitical disturbances and conflicts, or threats of such actions and related uncertainty, which could exacerbate other risks such as shipment disruptions or fuel shortages; and other matters that influence consumer spending and preferences, as well as our ability to plan for and respond to the impact of these conditions;

•risks relating to our liability and dilution management exercises;

•our ability to manage the impacts of our restructurings and workforce reductions;

•our ability to acquire and retain customers in a cost-effective manner;

•our ability to increase our net revenue per active customer;

•our ability to curate, market, grow and maintain strong brands;

•our ability to manage our growth initiatives;

•our ability to expand our business and compete successfully;

•disruptions, capacity constraints or inefficiencies in our information systems network, or any potential cybersecurity incident;

•geopolitical events, natural disasters, public health emergencies, civil disturbances and terrorist attacks; and

•developments in, and the outcome of, legal and regulatory proceedings and investigations to which we are a party or are subject, and the liabilities, obligations and expenses, if any, that we may incur in connection therewith.

A further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause or contribute to differences in our future results include the cautionary statements herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Overview

Wayfair is the destination for all things home. Through our omni-channel strategy, we offer visually inspired browsing, compelling merchandising, easy product discovery and attractive prices for over 40 million products from approximately 20 thousand suppliers.

We believe an increasing portion of the dollars spent on home goods will be spent online and that there is an opportunity to acquire more market share. Our business model is designed to grow our net revenue by acquiring new customers as well as stimulating repeat purchases from our existing customers. Through increasing brand awareness as well as paid and unpaid advertising, we attract new and repeat customers to our family of sites. We aim to turn these customers into recurring shoppers by creating a seamless shopping experience across their entire journey — offering best-in-class product discovery, purchasing, fulfillment and customer service. We complement our e-commerce experience with a growing physical retail presence, designed to strengthen our brands, deepen customer engagement, and enhance the end-to-end shopping experience

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net revenue increased by 7.4% compared to the same period in 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we had 21 million active customers and during the three months ended March 31, 2026, 79.8% of orders came from repeat buyers. The increased sales represents our ongoing execution of business initiatives amid persistent macroeconomic pressures on consumers. We also continued to manage our advertising spend according to a return on investment-oriented approach that carefully tracks and monitors the results of advertising campaigns as we seek to maintain appropriate return targets.

Global Considerations

Starting in early 2025, the U.S. government announced changes to U.S. trade policy affecting imported goods. Multiple nations have announced tariffs and other actions in response. While some trade deals have been reached and trade negotiations are ongoing, overall the global trade environment remains fluid and highly uncertain. Despite this uncertainty, we believe the structural characteristics of our retail platform position us to capture incremental market share within a category, home goods, that is largely unbranded and highly substitutable. We have and will continue to partner with our suppliers to help them strategize and deliver value for our customers.

We continue to closely monitor additional macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, general economic instability, changes in tax laws or regulations or other governmental actions or policies, sustained higher interest rates and inflationary pressures on our business, results of operations and financial results. These types of developments have and may continue to negatively impact global economic activity and consumer behavior, which have and may continue to adversely affect our business and our results of operations. As our customers react to these global economic conditions, we may take precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity.

While it is difficult to quantify and predict the impacts on our business of these global and domestic economic events, including fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures and changes in global trade policy, and to predict consumer spending in the near term, we believe the long-term opportunity we see for shopping for the home online remains unchanged.

We will continue to monitor economic conditions as we work to manage our business to meet the evolving needs of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities.

Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Key Financial Statement and Operating Metrics

We measure our business using the key financial statement, operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures that are reflected in the below table. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding our use of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure that is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or “GAAP.”

Our Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share are measured on a consolidated basis, while our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is measured on a consolidated and reportable segment basis. All other key financial statement and operating metrics are derived and reported from our consolidated net revenue.

We use the following metrics to assess the performance of our overall business:

(1) The number of active customers represents the total number of individual customers who have purchased at least once directly from our sites during the preceding twelve-month period. The change in active customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the last twelve months. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand the company, our operations and our present business environment. Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to — and should be read in conjunction with — our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes thereto contained in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

All dollar and percentage comparisons made in our MD&A refer to the year ended December 31, 2025 financial results, compared with the year ended December 31, 2024 financial results, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a comparative discussion of our year ended December 31, 2024 financial results as compared to our year ended December 31, 2023 financial results filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025.

As described further below, our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflect our decision to exit the German market, which we announced on January 10, 2025 (the “Germany Restructuring”).

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual

results may differ from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including but not limited to risks described in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

Wayfair is the destination for all things home. Through our omni-channel strategy, we offer visually inspired browsing, compelling merchandising, easy product discovery and attractive prices for over 40 million products from approximately 20 thousand suppliers.

We believe an increasing portion of the dollars spent on home goods will be spent online and that there is an opportunity to acquire more market share. Our business model is designed to grow our net revenue by acquiring new customers as well as stimulating repeat purchases from our existing customers. Through increasing brand awareness as well as paid and unpaid advertising, we attract new and repeat customers to our family of sites. We aim to turn these customers into recurring shoppers by creating a seamless shopping experience across their entire journey — offering best-in-class product discovery, purchasing, fulfillment and customer service. We complement our e-commerce experience with a growing physical retail presence, designed to strengthen our brands, deepen customer engagement, and enhance the end-to-end shopping experience

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net revenue increased by 5.1% compared to the same period in 2024. As of December 31, 2025, we had 21 million active customers and during the year ended December 31, 2025, 80.3% of orders came from repeat buyers. The increased sales represents our ongoing execution of business initiatives amid persistent macroeconomic pressures on consumers. We also continued to manage our advertising spend according to a return on investment-oriented approach that carefully tracks and monitors the results of advertising campaigns as we seek to maintain appropriate return targets.

Global Considerations

Starting in early 2025, the U.S. government announced changes to U.S. trade policy affecting imported goods. Multiple nations have announced tariffs and other actions in response. While some trade deals have been reached and trade negotiations are ongoing, overall the global trade environment remains fluid and highly uncertain. Despite this uncertainty, we believe the structural characteristics of our retail platform position us to capture incremental market share within a category, home goods, that is largely unbranded and highly substitutable. We have and will continue to partner with our suppliers to help them strategize and deliver value for our customers.

We continue to closely monitor additional macroeconomic conditions, including, but not limited to, general economic instability, changes in tax laws or regulations or other governmental actions or policies, sustained higher interest rates and inflationary pressures on our business, results of operations and financial results. These types of developments have and may continue to negatively impact global economic activity and consumer behavior, which have and may continue to adversely affect our business and our results of operations. As our customers react to these global economic conditions, we may take precautionary measures to limit or delay expenditures and preserve capital and liquidity.

While it is difficult to quantify and predict the impacts on our business of these global and domestic economic events, including fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures and changes in global trade policy, and to predict consumer spending in the near term, we believe the long-term opportunity we see for shopping for the home online remains unchanged.

We will continue to monitor economic conditions as we work to manage our business to meet the evolving needs of our customers, employees, suppliers, partners, stockholders and communities.

Factors Affecting our Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Key Financial Statement and Operating Metrics

We measure our business using the key financial statement, operating metrics and non-GAAP financial measures that are reflected in the below table. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding our use of Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure that is prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or “GAAP.”

Our Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share are measured on a consolidated basis, while our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is measured on a consolidated and reportable segment basis. All other key financial statement and operating metrics are derived and reported from our consolidated net revenue.

(1) The number of active customers represents the total number of individual customers who have purchased at least once directly from our sites during the preceding twelve-month period. The change in active customers in a reported period captures both the inflow of new customers as well as the outflow of existing customers who have not made a purchase in the last twelve months. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth.

(2) Last twelve months (“LTM”) net revenue per active customer represents our total net revenue in the last twelve months divided by our total number of active customers for the same preceding twelve-month period. We view LTM net revenue per active customer as a key indicator of our customers’ purchasing patterns, including their initial and repeat purchase behavior.

(3) Orders delivered represent the total orders delivered in any period, inclusive of orders that may eventually be returned. As we ship a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available; in those cases, we estimate delivery dates using historical data. We recognize net revenue when an order is delivered, and therefore orders delivered, together with average order value, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to recognize for the period. We view orders delivered as a key indicator of our growth.

(4) We define average order value as total net revenue in a given period divided by the orders delivered in that period. We view average order value as a key indicator of the mix of products on our sites, the mix of offers and promotions and the purchasing behavior of our customers.

Results of Consolidated Operations

Net revenue

During the year ended December 31, 2025, net revenue increased by $606 million, or 5.1%, compared to the same period in 2024, which reflects our ongoing execution of business initiatives amid persistent macroeconomic pressures on consumers. The increase in net revenue is due primarily to higher average order value resulting from brand and consumer mix shifts, in addition to higher orders compared to the same period in 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our U.S. net revenue increased by 5.8% and International net revenue increased by 0.4% compared to the same period in 2024, driven by growth across our remaining international markets, partially offset by the exit of our German business. During the year ended December 31, 2025, International Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth was 0.2% (see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information regarding our use of Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth).

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold is sensitive to many factors, including quarter-to-quarter variability in product mix, pricing strategies, changes in wholesale, shipping and fulfillment costs, including associated applicable customs duties and fees earned for supplier services rendered. During the year ended December 31, 2025, cost of goods sold increased by $415 million, or 5.0%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in cost of goods sold is driven by higher net revenue, compared to the same period in 2024.

As a percentage of net revenue, cost of goods sold remained relatively constant at 69.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

Table of Contents

As a percentage of net revenue, total customer service and merchant fees decreased to 3.8% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 4.0% in the same period in 2024 primarily due to increased net revenue, partially offset by decreased compensation costs.

Advertising

During the year ended December 31, 2025, our advertising expenses decreased by $47 million, or 3.2%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease reflects our response to changing market conditions and renewed investment opportunities, as we sought to maintain our return targets across various channels.

As a percentage of net revenue, advertising expenses decreased to 11.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 12.4% in the same period in 2024 due to changes in our advertising channel mix as we seek to maximize returns on advertising spend within our efficiency parameters.

Selling, operations, technology, general and administrative

During the year ended December 31, 2025, excluding the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes, our expenses for selling, operations, technology, general and administrative activities decreased by $141 million, or 8.8% compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease is primarily due to decreased compensation costs and amortization expense driven by workforce reductions.

As a percentage of net revenue, total selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 16.7% in the same period in 2024, primarily due to decreased compensation costs and amortization expense driven by workforce reductions.

Impairment and other related net charges

During the year ended December 31, 2025, impairment and other related charges decreased by $14 million compared to the same period in 2024. As a percentage of net revenue, impairment and other related net charges decreased to 0.2% from 0.3% in the same period in 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded net charges of $23 million, inclusive of $20 million associated with the Germany Restructuring and weakened macroeconomic conditions in connection with our German operations and $3 million associated with changes in sublease market conditions for a technology center in the U.S.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded net charges of $37 million, inclusive of $34 million associated with weakened macroeconomic conditions in connection with our German operations, $2 million related to changes in sublease market conditions and $1 million related to construction in progress assets at identified U.S. office locations.

Refer to Note 2, Supplemental Financial Statement Disclosures, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Restructuring and other charges, net

During the year ended December 31, 2025, restructuring and other charges,net decreased by $26 million, or 32.9%, compared to the same period in 2024. As a percentage of net revenue, restructuring and other charges,net decreased to 0.4% from 0.7% in the same period in 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, Wayfair incurred $68 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance, benefits, relocation and transition costs. This is inclusive of $48 million related to the Germany Restructuring and $20 million related to the March 2025 workforce reduction. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Wayfair incurred $79 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefit costs associated with the January 2024 workforce reduction.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, Wayfair recorded a gain on lease modification of $15 million recorded within restructuring and other charges on the consolidated statements of operations. The gain is the result of the early exit of a portion of our corporate office location. There was no gain or loss on lease modifications recorded in 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

As of December 31, 2025, our principal source of liquidity was cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $1.5 billion. Additionally, we have a $500 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on March 13, 2030 (the “Revolver”). As of December 31, 2025, there were no revolving loans outstanding under the Revolver. We had outstanding letters of credit, primarily as security for certain lease agreements, for $94 million as of December 31, 2025, which reduced the availability of credit under the Revolver. Excluding liquidity available through our Revolver, the following table shows sources of liquidity for the periods presented:

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and investments, cash generated from operations and the borrowing availability under our Revolver will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months from the date of the filing of this report including planned capital expenditures, contractual obligations and other requirements. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. We may elect to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. Further, we have and may from time to time seek to retire, restructure, repurchase or redeem, or otherwise mitigate the equity dilution associated with our outstanding convertible debt through cash purchases, stock buybacks of some or all of the shares underlying convertible notes and/or exchanges for equity or debt in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, exchanges or liability management exercises, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices and sizes as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described herein and in our other filings with the SEC, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, macroeconomic events have caused disruption in the capital markets, including increased inflation and interest rates, which could make obtaining financing more difficult and/or expensive. As a consequence, we may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements or strategic goals on acceptable terms, in a timely manner, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements, those securities and instruments may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and the holders of our equity securities may experience dilution. We will continue to monitor our liquidity during this time of historic disruption and volatility in the global capital markets.

Credit Agreement and Debt Arrangements

As of December 31, 2025, we had $3.3 billion principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our indebtedness includes:

•unsecured 1.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”);

•unsecured 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”);

•unsecured 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”, and together with the 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes, the “Convertible Notes”);

•7.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Secured Notes”);

•7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Secured Notes”); and

•6.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Secured Notes”and, together with the 2029 Secured Notes and the 2030 Secured Notes, the “Senior Secured Notes”, and the Senior Secured Notes, together with the Convertible Notes, the “Notes”).

Under the terms of our Revolver, we may use proceeds to finance working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Any amounts outstanding under the Revolver are due at maturity.

Table of Contents

On March 13, 2025, Wayfair LLC (the “Issuer”), a subsidiary of Wayfair, issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Secured Notes. The 2030 Secured Notes will mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms or repurchased. On November 7, 2025, Wayfair LLC also issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Secured Notes. The 2032 Secured Notes will mature on November 15, 2032, unless earlier redeemed, in accordance with their terms or repurchased. Both indentures contain covenants that restrict the Issuer’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions or restricted payments, make certain investments, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, agree to certain restrictions on the ability of the Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries to make certain payments, sell or transfer certain assets and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s or its restricted subsidiaries’ assets.

On March 14, 2025, we repurchased $578 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. On May 9, 2025, we repurchased $80 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $118 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. On August 20, 2025, we repurchased $101 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes. On November 12, 2025, we repurchased $210 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes. See Note 6, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information on debt and other financing transactions.

On October 1, 2025, the 2025 Notes matured and Wayfair paid in cash the remaining outstanding principal of $157 million to the holders of the 2025 Notes.

The conditional conversion features of the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes were triggered during the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2025, therefore the 2027 Notes and 2028 Notes are convertible during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2026. The conditional conversion features of the 2026 Notes were not triggered during the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2025, therefore, the 2026 Notes are not convertible during the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2026 pursuant to the applicable last reported sales price conditions.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, there were no conversions of the Convertible Notes. Whether any of the Convertible Notes will be convertible in future quarters will depend on the satisfaction of the applicable last reported sales price condition or another conversion condition in the future. If one or more holders elect to convert their Convertible Notes at a time when any such Convertible Notes are convertible, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our Class A common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

The credit agreement and indentures governing our convertible notes contain restrictions and covenants that may limit our operating flexibility. Specifically, the Revolver contains affirmative and negative covenants customarily applicable to senior secured credit facilities, including covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict our ability, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on our assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, voluntarily prepay other indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, make investments, or change the nature of our businesses. The Revolver also requires us to maintain certain levels of performance in order to maintain our access to the Revolver. For instance, we are required to maintain a Consolidated Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolver) of 4.0 to 1.0, subject to a 0.5 step-up following certain permitted acquisitions. For information regarding our credit agreement and debt agreements, see Note 6, Debt and Other Financing, included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all the terms and conditions of our debt agreements.

Stock Repurchase Program

On August 21, 2020, the board of directors (the “Board”) authorized the repurchase of up to $700 million of our Class A common stock in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan (the “2020 Repurchase Program”). On August 10, 2021, the Board authorized a new $1.0 billion share repurchase program on the same terms (the “2021 Repurchase Program” and, together with the 2020 Repurchase Program, the “Repurchase Programs”). We will begin repurchasing shares under the 2021 Repurchase Program upon the completion of the 2020 Repurchase Program.

Table of Contents

The Repurchase Programs do not obligate us to purchase any shares of our Class A common stock and have no expiration date, but may be suspended or terminated by the Board at any time. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the Repurchase Programs in the future will be determined by us in our discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, our capital needs and whether there is a better alternative use of capital. As of December 31, 2025, we have repurchased 2,354,491 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $612 million under the Repurchase Programs.

Operating Activities

Cash flows in connection with operating activities consisted of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation and certain other non-cash expenses, as well as the effect of changes in working capital and other activities. Operating cash flows can be volatile and are sensitive to many factors, including changes in working capital and our net loss.

Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $217 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $277 million, partially offset by an decrease of $60 million for cash changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily driven by higher net revenue, and lower selling, operations, technology, general and administrative expenses as a result of workforce reductions.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $43 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to increases in sales and maturities of short- and long-term investments of $62 million and decreases in purchases of property and equipment and site and software development costs of $29 million, partially offset by an increase in purchases of short- and long-term investments of $48 million.

Purchases of property and equipment and site and software development costs (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”) were 1.6% of net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 and related primarily to equipment purchases and improvements for leased warehouses within our expanding logistics network and ongoing investments, including our physical retail store expansion, proprietary technology and operational platform.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities increased by $60 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used is primarily due to increases in payments to extinguish debt of $574 million, debt maturities of $40 million, and payments of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $89 million.These increases are partially offset by increases in proceeds from the issuance of debt of $597 million and other financing inflow of $46 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet activities. We do not have any off-balance sheet interest in variable interest entities, which include special purpose entities and other structured finance entities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have disclosed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Contribution Profit, Contribution Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share and Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus equity-based compensation and related taxes included in cost of goods sold. Gross profit is defined as net revenue minus cost of goods sold. Gross margin is defined as gross profit as a percentage of net revenue for the same period. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net revenue for the same period.

We disclose Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin because we believe these measures are important indicators of our business performance. They provide visibility into our underlying gross profitability by excluding the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expense, which can vary meaningfully from period to period. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin, however, have limitations as analytical tools because they omit certain costs included in cost of goods sold and therefore do not reflect all expenses that impact gross profit under GAAP. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently. Accordingly, you should not consider Adjusted Gross Profit or Adjusted Gross Margin in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, these metrics should be considered alongside other financial performance measures, including gross profit, cost of goods sold, and our other GAAP results.

Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin

We define Contribution Profit as Adjusted Gross Profit less customer service and merchant fees and less advertising expense, plus equity-based compensation and related taxes included in customer service and merchant fees. Contribution Margin is defined as Contribution Profit as a percentage of net revenue for the same period.

We use Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin to evaluate our operating performance and trends. We believe these measures are useful indicators of the economic impact of orders fulfilled through our omni-channel platform because they take into account the direct expenses associated with generating and servicing customer demand. These measures provide additional visibility into unit-level performance by isolating key cost drivers, including customer service and merchant fees, and advertising. Accordingly, we believe Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.

However, Contribution Profit and Contribution Margin have important limitations as analytical tools. They omit various expenses that impact our results under GAAP, and they are not intended to represent measures of overall company profitability or to imply that our business is profitable at the company level. Other companies, including those in our industry, may calculate Contribution Profit and similarly titled measures differently. Accordingly, you should not consider Contribution Profit or Contribution Margin in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, these metrics should be evaluated alongside other financial performance measures, including gross profit and our other GAAP results.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before depreciation and amortization; equity-based compensation and related taxes; interest income or expense, net; other income or expense, net; provision or benefit for income taxes, net; non-recurring items; and other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance. We have provided a reconciliation below of Adjusted EBITDA to net income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Net Revenue.

We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and the Board to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis as these costs may vary independent of business performance. For instance, we exclude the impact of equity-based compensation and related taxes as we do not consider this item to be indicative of our core operating performance. Investors should, however, understand that equity-based compensation and related taxes will be a significant recurring expense in our business and an important part of the compensation provided to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and the Board.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: 

•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect equity-based compensation and related taxes;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our working capital;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expenses associated with our borrowings;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance;

•We may in the future modify how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA; and

53

Table of Contents

•Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net income or loss and our other GAAP results.

The following table reflects the reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods indicated:

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $53 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance, benefits, relocation and transition costs. This is inclusive of $48 million related to the Germany Restructuring and $20 million related to the March 2025 workforce reduction. Additionally, we recorded a gain on lease modification of $15 million, primarily related to the early exit of a portion of our corporate office location. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred $79 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefit costs associated with the January 2024 workforce reduction. During the year ended December 31, 2023, Wayfair incurred $65 million of charges consisting primarily of one-time employee severance and benefit costs associated with the January 2023 workforce reductions.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a $233 million loss on debt extinguishment upon repurchase of $210 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2027 notes, $101 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, $80 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $696 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Wayfair recorded a $29 million gain on debt extinguishment upon repurchase of $518 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes, $215 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes and the remaining $39 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2.5% Accreting Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 Accreting Notes (the “2025 Accreting Notes”). During the year ended December 31, 2023, Wayfair recorded a $100 million gain on debt extinguishment upon repurchase of $83 million in aggregate principal amount of the 1.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and $535 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes.

Free Cash Flow

We calculate Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We have provided a reconciliation below of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by or used in operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

We disclose Free Cash Flow because it is an important indicator of our business performance as it measures the amount of cash we generate. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool because it omits certain components of the cash flow statement and does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Free Cash Flow differently. Accordingly, you should not consider Free Cash Flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, you should consider Free Cash Flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net cash provided by or used in operating activities, capital expenditures, and our other GAAP results.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share

We calculate Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share as net income or loss plus equity-based compensation and related taxes; provision or benefit for income taxes, net; non-recurring items; other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance; and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method; divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock used in the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share. Accordingly, we believe that these adjustments to our diluted earnings or loss per share provide a more meaningful comparison between our operating results from period to period.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share, by their nature, excludes equity-based compensation and related taxes; provision or benefit for income taxes, net; non-recurring items; other items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating performance; and, if dilutive, interest expense associated with convertible debt instruments under the if-converted method.

Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted Diluted Earnings or Loss per Share alongside other financial performance measures, including diluted earnings or loss per share and our other GAAP results.

Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth

We calculate Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth by translating the current period local currency net revenue by the currency exchange rates used to translate our financial statements in the comparable prior-year period.

We disclose Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth because it is an important indicator of our operating results. Accordingly, we believe that Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results in the same manner as our management.

Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Net Revenue Constant Currency Growth rates, by their nature, exclude the impact of foreign exchange, which may have a material impact on net revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, net revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in the accounting policies described below have the greatest potential impact on our financial statements and, therefore, we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for information about these critical accounting policies, as well as a description of our other significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue using the gross method for product sales generated through our family of sites only when we have concluded that Wayfair controls the product before it is transferred to the customer. Wayfair controls products when it is the entity responsible for fulfilling the promise to the customer and takes responsibility for the acceptability of the goods, assumes inventory risk from shipment through the delivery date, has discretion in establishing prices and selects the suppliers of products sold. We recognize net revenue when the product has been delivered to the customer. As Wayfair ships a large volume of packages through multiple carriers, actual delivery dates may not always be available; in those cases, we estimate delivery dates using historical data.

Allowances for sales returns are estimated and recorded based on prior returns history, recent trends and projections for returns on sales in the current period. These estimates are based on historical rates of customer returns and allowances as well as the specific identification of outstanding returns that have not yet been received by us. The actual sales returns for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $740 million. The actual amount of customer returns and allowances are inherently uncertain and may differ from our estimates. If we determine that actual or expected returns or allowances are significantly higher or lower than the reserves established, we record a reduction or increase, as appropriate to net revenue in the period in which we make such a determination. The sales return allowance decreased by $4 million, resulting in a balance of $45 million as of December 31, 2025.

Leases

Lease liabilities and their corresponding right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term at the lease commencement date. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future payments. The determination of the IBR requires judgment and is primarily based on publicly-available information for companies within the same industry and with similar credit profiles. We adjust the rate for the impact of collateralization, the lease term and other specific terms included in each lease arrangement. The IBR is determined at lease commencement and is subsequently reassessed upon a modification to the lease arrangement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
