Transcript signals

Bull points

  • Each month since has improved on a year-over-year basis, and the pace of improvement strengthened through February and March.
  • Through the end of April, we've closed nearly 80% of the decline in WoW memberships that followed the incident through a combination of those returning members and strong new signups.
  • Our revenue growth rate trajectory from January to March is running ahead of historical patterns and we expect the year-over-year comps to continue improving throughout the year.

Bear points

  • The first is the customer vouchers we issued in response to the incident. These are one time in nature. The bulk of the impact is contained to Q1 with a modest tail into the first part of Q2.
  • The second is a set of temporary inefficiencies in our network. Our capacity build-out and supply chain commitments are all made well in advance, calibrated to a demand trajectory we project based on a stable, predictable customer pattern. That's how we manage cost to serve efficiently, and that's the path we were on before the incident.
  • When an external event of this kind disrupts that pattern, actual demand falls short of what those commitments were sized for, and we carry the cost of underutilized capacity and inventory secure through the period.
