Wayfair's sales slid during its first fiscal quarter, but the online furniture retailer reduced its losses after cutting 13% of its workforce at the start of the year, the company announced Thursday. The steepest drop off came from Wayfair's international segment, where sales fell nearly 6% to $338 million compared to the year-ago period. The restructuring – the third Wayfair implemented since summer 2022 – was expected to save the company about $280 million, it said previously. During the quarter, Wayfair's active customers grew 2.8% to 22.3 million, slightly ahead of the 22.1 million that analysts had expected, according to StreetAccount. On average, orders were valued at $285 during the quarter, compared to the $275.07 that analysts had expected, according to StreetAccount.

New York CNN —Online furniture and home furnishings seller Wayfair is set to open its first-ever namesake store next month, the company announced Thursday. It will also feature an onsite restaurant called “The Porch,” the company said, taking a page out of Ikea’s store setup. Furniture stores need to always be advertising, Saunders added, because people generally don’t buy furniture very often. This is particularly important in furniture and finishings where people like to see and try out products before buying,” Saunders said. “If this store is successful then it could be the start of wider physical expansion for Wayfair,” Saunders said.

On Thursday, Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah wrote in a letter to shareholders — co-signed by co-founder and co-chairman Steve Conine — that several rounds of layoffs over the last year-and-a-half have helped the company become leaner and meaner. "While it is early, it does seem like we are getting more done, and faster, and at a lower cost," Shah and Conine wrote in the letter. "It also feels like we have the right level leaders in charge of the right things." This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers.

☆ It looks like remote workers are getting the boot once again

A bunch of executives at e-commerce firm Wayfair singled out remote workers as the ones who were more likely to have been laid off in a fresh round of cuts, The Wall Street Journal. The targeting of remote workers will come as little surprise for many, given the ugly battle that's been raging over remote work in recent months. Some bosses such as Elon Musk have disparaged remote workers as lazy members of the "laptop classes living in la la land," and called out the practice as "morally wrong." However, the Wayfair layoffs are a reminder that remote workers are in grave danger if their managers don't believe they're putting in the hours away from the office. Many remote workers will be feeling more vulnerable than ever.

At the end of last year, Wayfair CEO Niraj Shah had a clear message for workers heading into 2024: "Winning takes hard work." "There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success," Shah wrote. "In his note, Niraj was reinforcing some of the values that have contributed to Wayfair's success, including questioning the status quo, being cost-efficient and working hard together to drive results." However, employees now have other priorities, new research shows, and more time at the office is not one of them. Employees are more likely to consider work-life balance, flexible hours and mental health support as more important, the report found.

Wayfair is cutting 13% of its global workforce as the digital home goods retailer looks to trim down its structure, cut out layers of management and reduce costs, it announced Friday. The company plans to lay off around 1,650 employees, including 19% of its corporate team, with a focus on people in management and leadership positions, the company said. The restructuring – the third Wayfair has implemented since summer 2022 – is expected to save the company about $280 million, it said. The layoffs come after Hasbro , Etsy and Macy's all announced cuts to their workforces as retailers contend with slowing demand and an uncertain economy. As a result, Wayfair has needed to make cuts to ensure its staffing levels are proportionate to how much business it's doing.

Wayfair is inching closer to profitability, but its third-quarter results still fell short of revenue expectations as the home market continues to be under pressure. Excluding one-time items, Wayfair reported an adjusted loss of 13 cents per share. Wayfair has been focusing on cost discipline to drive profitability and protect its margins as demand remains tepid across the home goods sector and other consumer discretionary categories. That discipline led Wayfair to see adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization of $100 million, compared to the $55 million analysts had expected, according to StreetAccount. During the quarter, those costs came down to $596 million, compared to $656 million in the year ago period.
