“Our third quarter operating results, including the 13% year over year net revenue improvement, exceeded our guidance reflecting continued momentum. Our growth initiatives, such as continued product innovation to provide more variety, flexibility and choice, and more efficient marketing to drive higher attraction and engagement, are key factors in the consistent improvements we are generating in Orders per Customer and Average Order Value.”
