Gross merchandize value came in at $454.2 million, missing Street expectations by $9.6 million.

"Mgmt noted pressure on GMV was in-part due to sales team attrition, impacting supply levels," he added. "Product mix-shift to lower AOV items also contributed to lower top-line growth, as category mix shifted towards pre-COVID levels more quickly than expected."

He expressed concern about decelerating growth impacting “the company’s ability to generate leverage on its fixed cost base."

REAL Price Action: Shares of RealReal declined by 5.74% to $2.88 at the time of publication Wednesday.
