Acquisition of Appliances Connection, announced in Q4 2020 and expected to be completed in Q2 2021.
Combined revenue increased 84% year over year to $ 123.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. This is due to the continued strong growth in site meetings from 61% to $ 11.1 million and written orders up 105% to $ 199.3 million.

We remain on track to complete the Appliances Connection acquisition in the near future. We believe this will be the largest online all-online home appliance retailer in the United States. ”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release will help investors understand the financial condition and results of operations of the combined company and evaluate the future prospects of the company. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, which are detailed below, are important supplemental measures as they exclude unusual or one-time items, as well as non-cash items that are unrelated or may not be indicative of ours ongoing operating results. When combined with GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a basis for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as a tool to make financial, operational, and planning decisions. Finally, these metrics are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry by providing more comparable metrics that are less influenced by factors such as capital structure.
The Company recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including the fact that they may be calculated differently by other companies or used in different circumstances or for different purposes, which may affect their comparability from company to company. To offset this and the limitations discussed below, management does not view these measures in isolation from, or as an alternative to, comparable financial measures determined under GAAP. Readers should review the polls below and not rely on a single financial measure in evaluating our business.
The non-GAAP financial measure used in this press release is Adjusted EBITDA. The company defines adjusted EBITDA as the net loss before income taxes, depreciation, financing costs, interest expenses, deferred sales tax and one-time non-operating events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to US GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is used to provide a comparison of the normal, ongoing, and customary performance of the combined company from period to period on a consistent basis and to provide an additional understanding of the factors and trends affecting the combined company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA may not compare to non-GAAP measures with similar titles used by other companies because other companies may have calculated the measures differently.
