Dear Owner,

The loss on the blockchain side of the business was expected, as we are incurring significant costs building out the most leading edge applications in blockchain. For example, t0 (our blockchain-meets-capital-markets subsidiary) released the single most disruptive application of blockchain yet created: a blockchain-based securities lending system, which will enable t0 to compete with a superior product against the largest prime brokers on Wall Street.

The loss on the retail side was unpleasant, but not as heart-stopping as it might appear. In truth, almost all aspects of our retail business are running well: our sourcing is expanding (we are up to 3 million products and have a clear path to having 5-10X that many), our logistics operations are efficient; our site technology is intelligent and is becoming more so through our work in machine learning; our branding efforts are showing better responsiveness than they have in years; and our digital marketing channels (with one exception) are run by quants who have finely tuned them.

The one great exception to all this is SEO (search engine optimization). We are traditionally quite good at SEO, and even can be said to punch above our weight on that score. As a result, a large percentage of our traffic is dependent upon Google. In May, Google began its annual algorithm adjustments, but this year the volatility introduced and the length of the tuning has been significantly greater than any previous year of which we are aware. This created tremendous headwind for our business from May through the summer thus far. We have reorganized a large number of resources around addressing this current challenge, as well as preventing it from ever occurring again. In recent weeks we believe that, once again, we have found a way through it, with a variety of innovations and technical improvements, so we are encouraged that we will find ourselves back on the path to market-like growth with profitability quite soon. It is the only channel of our business that has taken this large hit, but it is a particularly important channel to us, and the cost of coming off slipping a stitch in this area translated quickly into a loss for the firm. Q3 has already shown a small bounce back in the right direction, and I believe that by September we will be back on track.

Respectfully,

Patrick M. Byrne

Key financial and operating metrics:

Investors should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Total net revenue - Total net revenue for Q2 2017 and 2016 was $432.0 million and $418.5 million, respectively, a 3% increase. The growth in revenue was primarily due to a 4% increase in average order size, coupled with a 2% increase in orders. These increases were partially offset by increased promotional activities, including coupons and site sales (which we recognize as a reduction of revenue) due to our driving a higher proportion of our sales using such promotions. Also, we had an increase in sales for which we record only our commission as revenue. These decreases to revenue were partially offset by a decrease in Club O Rewards earned due to discontinuing rewards on the Club O Silver program in Q4 2016. In addition, the percentage of revenue we defer from orders taken but not delivered was lower due to the timing of quarter ends. Our average order size has increased in recent years due primarily to a sales mix shift into home and garden products. We are uncertain how long this trend will continue.

Gross profit - Gross profit for Q2 2017 and 2016 was $84.2 million and $76.3 million, respectively, a 10% increase, representing 19.5% and 18.2% gross margin for those respective periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to revenue growth. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a continued shift in sales mix into higher margin home and garden products, partially offset by increased promotional activities.

Sales and marketing expenses - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $43.3 million and $33.4 million for Q2 2017 and 2016, respectively, a 30% increase, and representing 10.0% and 8.0% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percent of revenue was primarily due to increased spending in sponsored search and display ads on social media marketing channels.

In Q2 2017 and continuing, we have experienced slowing of our overall revenue growth which we believe is due in part to changes that Google, Inc. ("Google") has made in its natural search engine algorithms, to which we are responding. While we work to adapt to Google’s changes, we have increased our emphasis on other marketing channels, such as sponsored search, which has generated revenue growth but with higher associated marketing expenses than natural search. We expect this trend to continue in the near term while we work to adapt to these changes.

During Q2, we also experienced slower email channel revenue growth than expected due to some issues we encountered implementing a new email marketing platform.

We are also experiencing an increasingly competitive digital marketing landscape. We have competitors who are spending significant amounts on advertising bidding up the cost of certain marketing channels, such as paid keywords. While we may not choose to match their levels of spending, this has increased our marketing costs in recent quarters. We expect this trend to continue.

Consolidated contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure) and contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Contribution for Q2 2017 and 2016 was $41.4 million and $46.9 million, respectively, a 12% decrease, representing 9.6% and 11.2% of total net revenue for those respective periods.

Contribution and contribution margin (non-GAAP financial measures - which we reconcile to "Gross Profit" in our consolidated statement of operations) consist of gross profit less sales and marketing expense plus Club O Rewards and gift card breakage and reflects an additional way of viewing our results. Contribution margin is contribution as a percentage of total net revenue. We believe contribution and contribution margin provide management and users of the financial statements information about our ability to cover our operating costs, such as technology and general and administrative expenses, while reflecting the selling costs we incurred to generate our revenues and adding back the reductions in revenue that we recognized for Club O Rewards that have subsequently expired and for gift cards whose redemption is remote. Contribution and contribution margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of contribution is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or all non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income. You should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure. For additional information about our non-GAAP financial measures, including “retail pre-tax income” and “Medici pre-tax loss” please see the "Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations" section below.

Our calculation of our consolidated contribution and contribution margin is set forth below (in thousands):

		Three months ended  June 30,														Six months ended  June 30,
		2017							2016							2017							2016
Total net revenue		$	432,024			100	%		$	418,540			100	%		$	864,459			100	%		$	832,217			100	%
Cost of goods sold		347,853				80.5	%		342,218				81.8	%		693,381				80.2	%		678,588				81.5	%
Gross profit		84,171				19.5	%		76,322				18.2	%		171,078				19.8	%		153,629				18.5	%
Less: Sales and marketing expense		43,297				10.0	%		33,353				8.0	%		80,915				9.4	%		64,809				7.8	%
Plus: Club O Rewards and gift card breakage (included in Other income (expense), net)		561				0.1	%		3,916				0.9	%		1,232				0.1	%		8,085				1.0	%
Contribution and contribution margin		$	41,435			9.6	%		$	46,885			11.2	%		$	91,395			10.6	%		$	96,905			11.6	%

Technology expenses - Technology expenses totaled $28.2 million and $25.8 million for Q2 2017 and 2016, respectively, a 9% increase, and representing 6.5% and 6.2% of total revenue for those respective periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in staff related costs of $964,000, an increase in technology licenses and maintenance of $754,000, and an increase in depreciation of $451,000.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses - G&A expenses totaled $22.4 million and $22.7 million for Q1 2017 and 2016, respectively, a 1% decrease, and representing 5.2% and 5.4% of total revenue for those respective periods. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal costs of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in staff related costs of $747,000 and an increase in consulting and outside services of $503,000.

We continue to seek opportunities for growth, in our retail business and through our Medici blockchain and financial technology initiatives and through other means. As a result of these initiatives, we may continue to incur additional expenses or make investments in, or acquisitions of other technologies and businesses. We also anticipate that our Medici initiatives will incur losses in the near term. These losses, additional expenses, acquisitions or investments may be material, and, coupled with existing marketing expense trends and the seasonality of our business, may lead to reduced consolidated income or losses in some periods, and to reduced liquidity. Additionally, we may recognize additional impairment charges from our investments. We are also considering other alternatives for Medici, including raising capital.

Other income, net - Other income, net totaled $593,000 and $4.0 million for Q2 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to decreased Club O Rewards breakage of $3.4 million due to discontinuing our Club O Silver rewards program in Q4 2016.

Net cash provided by operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities was $20.1 million and $75.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $55.3 million decrease is primarily due to slowing revenue growth, decreased contribution and decreased net income, and the timing of payments. Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended June 30, 2016 includes litigation settlement proceeds of $19.5 million.

Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Free cash flow totaled ($25.8) million and ($7.9) million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The $17.9 million decrease was due to a $55.3 million decrease in operating cash flow, partially offset by a $37.4 million decrease in capital expenditures including costs related to the development of our recently completed new corporate headquarters.

Free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our cash flows and liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and liquidity. Free cash flow, which we reconcile to “net cash provided by operating activities,” is cash flow from operations, reduced by “expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and website development.” We believe that cash flows from operating activities is an important measure since it includes both the cash impact of the continuing operations of the business and changes in the balance sheet that impact cash. Also, we believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business since purchases of fixed assets are a necessary component of ongoing operations and free cash flow measures the amount of cash we have available for mandatory debt service and financing obligations, changes in our capital structure, and future investments, after we have paid our operating expenses. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our calculation of free cash flow is set forth below (in thousands):

		Six months ended  June 30,								Twelve months ended  June 30,
		2017				2016				2017				2016
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities		$	(46,445	)		$	(26,982	)		$	20,101			$	75,401
Expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and website development		(16,450		)		(42,848		)		(45,883		)		(83,322		)
Free cash flow		$	(62,895	)		$	(69,830	)		$	(25,782	)		$	(7,921	)

Cash and working capital - We had cash and cash equivalents of $104.0 million and $183.1 million and working capital of ($30.3) million and ($4.8) million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Additional Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations

As described above, contribution and contribution margin (non-GAAP financial measures - which we reconcile to "Gross Profit" in our consolidated statement of operations) consist of gross profit less sales and marketing expense plus Club O Rewards and gift card breakage and reflects an additional way of viewing our results. Contribution margin is contribution as a percentage of total net revenue.

OSTK Retail and Medici pre-tax income or loss (non-GAAP financial measures - which we reconcile to Consolidated pre-tax income or loss) consist of income or loss before taxes of our Retail and Medici businesses, excluding intercompany transactions eliminated in consolidation. We believe these measures provide management and users of the financial statements useful information, because they provide financial results for our separate businesses which are distinct in nature. The material limitation associated with these measures is that they are an incomplete measure of our consolidated operations.

We determined our segments based on how we manage our business, which, in our view, consists primarily of our Retail and Medici businesses. Our Retail business consists of our Direct and Partner reportable segments. We use gross profit as the measure to determine our reportable segments because there is not discrete financial information available below gross profit for our Direct and Partner segments. As a result, our Medici business is not significant as compared to our Direct and Partner segments. Our Other segment includes Medici and equity method investments. We do not allocate assets between our segments for our internal management purposes.

Contribution, contribution margin, OSTK Retail pre-tax income or loss and Medici pre-tax income or loss are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. You should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Our calculations of our contribution and contribution margin by Retail Total (which consists of Direct and Partner) and Other (which includes Medici and equity method investments) are set forth below (in thousands):
