Organization and Business

Pursuant to a reorganization, Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Lulus”, or the “Company”), was formed on August 25, 2017 as a holding company and its primary asset is an indirect membership interest in Lulu’s Fashion Lounge, LLC (“Lulus LLC”). Prior to the sale of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock in April 2018, the Company was wholly-owned by Lulu’s Holdings, L.P. (the “LP”). Prior to the Company’s initial public offering in November 2021, the Company was majority-owned by the LP.

Lulus LLC was founded in 1996, starting as a vintage boutique in Chico, CA that began selling online in 2005 and transitioned to a purely online business in 2008. The LP was formed in 2014 as a holding company and purchased 100% of Lulus LLC’s outstanding common stock in 2014. The Company, through Lulus LLC, is an online retailer of women’s clothing, shoes and accessories headquartered in Chico, CA.

Impact of Macroeconomic Trends on Business

Changing macroeconomic factors, including inflation, interest rates, and overall consumer confidence with respect to current and future economic conditions, have directly impacted our sales in the third quarter of 2023 as discretionary consumer spending levels and shopping behavior fluctuate with these factors. During the first nine months of 2023, we have responded to these factors by taking appropriate pricing, promotional and other actions to stimulate customer demand. These factors are expected to continue to have an impact on our business, results of operations, our growth and financial condition.  

Liquidity

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of October 1, 2023, the Company had total cash and cash equivalents of $12.9 million and amounts due under the revolving line of credit of $11.0 million.

In November 2021 the Company entered into a Credit Agreement to provide the Revolving Facility that provides for borrowings up to $50.0 million. The credit agreement contains various financial covenants and matures on November 15, 2024 as described in Note 5, Debt.

The Company is evaluating sources of debt financing. However, the Company believes the cash on hand and cash provided by operations in conjunction with certain cash conservation measures to be taken as necessary, including adjustments to marketing and other variable and capital spend, will enable the Company to meet its obligations as they become due within one year. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to the outcome of this uncertainty.
