"Consumer response for the Purple brand and our differentiated mattress offering continues to gain momentum," said Joe Megibow, Chief Executive Officer. "Memorable marketing campaigns and viral customer promotion have allowed the Company to quickly establish a strong presence and expand into traditional brick and mortar retail. Our success is also a direct result of not only the patent protected manufacturing capabilities developed internally, but also manufacturing domestically. While the organization has experienced challenges typical of a young, fast-growing company, we believe they are mostly execution related and not core to brand or product. Over the coming months, we plan to implement new systems and processes aimed at improving efficiencies in all areas of the business. I am confident that we can capitalize on the many growth opportunities that exist for Purple while generating sustained profitability and increased shareholder value over the long-term."
Third Quarter 2018 Review
Third quarter 2018 net revenue increased 26.4% to $70.8 million, compared to $56.0 million in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in net revenue was driven by increased efficiencies in our marketing investments and the release of our new higher-priced mattress models combined with contributions from mattress sales in the wholesale channel, which initially launched in the fourth quarter 2017 and has continued to expand throughout 2018.
Gross margin for the third quarter 2018 was 39.7% compared to 43.0% in the year ago period. The decrease was partially driven by increased product and freight costs, inefficiencies in the Company's manufacturing process as it migrated to a new warehouse management system, and improved quality assurance processes that have identified additional scrap. In addition, a shift in sales mix to more sales with wholesale pricing also reduced gross margin. These decreases to gross margin were partially offset by the higher product margins from the new mattress models.
Operating expenses were $31.6 million in the third quarter 2018 compared to $29.5 million in the prior year period. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to higher general and administrative expenses associated with supporting top-line growth and being a public company.
Operating loss was $(3.4) million, compared to an operating loss of $(5.4) million in the prior year. Adjusted operating loss was $(3.3) million compared to an adjusted operating loss of $(5.0) million in third quarter 2017. Adjusted operating loss excludes litigation related legal fees and severance costs.
Net loss was $(4.4) million for the third quarter 2018 compared to a net loss of $(5.4) million in the year ago period.
EBITDA for the third quarter 2018 was $(2.9) million compared to $(5.2) million in the third quarter 2017. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes litigation related legal fees and severance costs was $(2.7) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $(4.8) million last year.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $7.7 million compared to $3.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017. Inventories as of September 30, 2018 totaled $28.7 million compared with $13.3 million as of December 31, 2017.
2018 Outlook

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted Operating Loss, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that remove the impact of costs incurred due to the merger transaction with GPAC, as well as certain other nonrecurring legal fees and severance payments. Management believes that the use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments, which we view as a better measure of our operating performance. Refer to the attached table for the reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measure.

Management believes that the use of the following non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments, which we view as a better measure of our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating loss. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
