Organization and Description of Business	1.ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries (“Mohawk” or the “Company”), is a rapidly growing technology-enabled consumer products company that uses machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics to design, develop, market and sell products. Mohawk predominantly operates through online retail channels such as Amazon and Walmart. The Company owns and operates eleven brands, which were either incubated or purchased, selling products in multiple categories, including home and kitchen appliances, kitchenware, heating, cooling and air quality appliances (dehumidifiers, humidifiers and air conditioners), and health and beauty products. Headquartered in New York, Mohawk’s offices can be found in China, Philippines, Israel and Poland. Initial Public Offering—On June 14, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 3,600,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $29.4 million, after deducting legal, underwriting and other offering expenses. Follow-on Equity Offering—On August 26, 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering (the “Follow-On Offering”) of 3,860,710 shares of common stock, which includes the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock solely to cover over-allotments, at a public offering price of $7.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $23.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $2.2 million and other offering expenses payable by the Company of approximately $1.4 million. Truweo Acquisition—On August 26, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of a leading e-commerce brand in the health and personal wellness category (the “Truweo Assets”) for total consideration of $16.4 million which was comprised of cash of $14.0 million and an unsecured promissory note for $2.4 million. The unsecured promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 8% per annum, with $0.6 million principal and accrued interest payments due on November 30, 2021, February 28, 2022 and May 31, 2022, and matures on August 22, 2022 (See Note 16 – Acquisitions). Smash Acquisition—On December 1, 2020, the Company acquired the assets of leading e-commerce business brands Mueller, Pursteam, Pohl and Schmitt, and Spiralizer (the “Smash Assets”) for total consideration of (i) $25.0 million, (ii) 4,220,000 shares of common stock, the cost basis of which was $6.89 (closing stock price at closing of the transaction), of which 164,000 of such shares were issued to the sellers brokers and (iii) a seller note in the amount of $15.6 million, representing the value of certain inventory that the sellers had paid for but not yet sold as of the closing date. In addition, subject to achievement of certain contribution margin thresholds on certain products of the acquired business for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the sellers will be entitled to receive earn out payments (See Note 16 – Acquisitions). COVID-19 Pandemic—On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) originating in Wuhan, China and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified COVID-19 as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact associated with preventative and precautionary measures that the Company, other businesses and governments are taking, continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, the future impact on the Company’s personnel, business and global operations, and on the Company’s suppliers, logistics providers, marketplaces and other business partners is uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Given the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that any and every aspect of the Company’s value chain could be disrupted, and such impact could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For example, the Company may be unable to launch new products, replenish inventory for existing products, ship into or receive inventory in its third-party warehouses, or ship or sell products to customers, in each case on a timely basis or at all. The Company may also be unable to forecast demand for its products during the pendency of this pandemic and the Company may experience a substantial decrease in the demand for its products, most of which are considered not essential. In addition, the majority of the Company’s personnel are currently working remotely, which creates challenges in the way the Company operates its business, including, but not limited to, the manner in which the Company tests products and its ability to meet its reporting obligations. The Company’s ability to execute its operations could be further impacted if any of the Company’s key personnel contracts COVID-19. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, the continued widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect its liquidity. Due to the uncertainty as to the severity and duration of the pandemic, the impact on the Company’s future revenues, profitability, liquidity, financial condition, business and results of operations is uncertain at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic began to have an unfavorable impact on the Company, including its key manufacturing partners, in January 2020. Substantially all of the Company’s products are sourced and manufactured in China, including new products that the Company expects to launch during 2021. In addition, the Company relies on its team in Shenzhen for a number of functions relating to product sourcing and development, among other things. The Company’s key manufacturing partner in China re-opened its facilities as of February 10, 2020 and reached and maintained over 90% capacity since early March 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company preserved its liquidity and capital resources through various actions, which included delaying and negotiating the delay of payments to certain vendors, and the effect of such actions did not have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, including its relationships with these vendors. The Company’s operations rely on third-parties to manufacture its products, to provide logistics and warehousing services and to facilitate sales of its products, and accordingly the Company relies on the business continuity plans of these third parties to operate during the pandemic and have limited ability to influence their plans. To date the Company has had few material overall negative impacts to its business and operations from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has seen 62.3% growth in its net revenue for the year-ended December 31, 2020 versus the prior year. The shift of consumer spending from traditional retail to online spending has increased dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This has benefited the Company as historically over 90% of its net revenue comes from the sale of products online in the U.S. and it believes this shift to increased online consumer spending will continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends. The Company’s investments in its infrastructure and software and the expansion of its third-party warehousing network have also allowed the Company to continue to deliver its products, even when Amazon itself limited its delivery services. The Company has had no material impacts to its vendor or other business relationships to date and in certain circumstances it has been able to negotiate improved credit and other terms. Further, to date, none of the Company’s key operations vendors has had any material negative impacts related to COVID-19 or changes that have negatively affected the Company’s business, borrowing capabilities or financial covenants. Though the COVID-19 pandemic is fluid, the Company believes at this time that its business may continue to minimize the impact from this current pandemic given the Company’s ability to work remotely, continued consumer demand for products on e-commerce channels and the business continuity plans of its key manufacturing partners and other vendors. The Company believes this combination of factors may help to mitigate risk from the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to consider the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these consolidated financial statements including inventory valuation, and the impairment of long-lived assets. These assumptions and estimates may change as the current situation evolves or new events occur and additional information is obtained. If the economic conditions caused by COVID-19 worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.
