“Casper finished 2020 strongly with record revenue for both the fourth quarter and the full year,” said Chief Executive Officer Philip Krim. “Fourth quarter revenue growth was driven by 43% year-over-year growth in North American retail partnership revenue and 19% growth in North American direct-to-consumer revenue, which resulted in an 80% year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. Despite the pandemic, we were able to deliver 17.4% North American revenue growth for the full year 2020, and we expect top-line growth to accelerate in 2021 with positive Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of the year.”
Mr. Krim continued, “2020 was an important year for Casper. We continued to prioritize the health and safety of our customers and employees as we navigated through the pandemic and successfully executed on the business model we outlined a year ago in our IPO. The fourth quarter demonstrates that our model continues to work well. We took more products to market through increased points of distribution while further elevating our industry-leading brand. We navigated a challenging supply chain backdrop to successfully meet increasing consumer demand, and we entered 2021 well positioned to drive future growth. This year, we will continue to focus on increasing our market share, creating additional operating leverage, and making progress toward our profitability goals.”
