Overstock.com is an online retailer and advancer of blockchain technology.
“Our blockchain projects are some of the most significant and cutting-edge in the world, and we are just reaching the point where our products are being introduced to the public,” Patrick M. Byrne, founder and CEO, said in announcing the results. “In particular, tZERO brought live a security token trading platform. Our retail arm lost money last year because I gunned things in an attempt to create a conventional high-growth/money-losing e-commerce business, but the losses were nauseating and we reverted back to the philosophy of profitability on which we built Overstock. As a result, in 2019, retail will return to profitability, generating a positive operating cash flow (greater than or equal to $10 million).”
During a conference call with analysts, Byrne said it was a “terrible mistake” for Overstock.com retail operations to chase Wayfair, “and we had to revert to our DNA, which is focusing on value and running the company to profitability.”
“This year, I’m committing that we will generate at least $10 million of positive operating cash flow from the retail business,” he said.

“While soft demand for smartphone devices has created some headwinds for our business, we were able to increase screen protection sales double digits through new product innovation, strong international growth and some domestic retailer requests for early deliveries ahead of a potential tariff increase. As expected, fourth-quarter power sales were down as we lapped the launch and sell-in of our initial wireless charge pad a year ago, combined with the impact on juice pack demand from the previously discussed delay in made for iPhone certification.
