- Q1 Outlook
- 'We have determined to switch to a growth strategy in our ecommerce business, which we believe will lead to higher revenue growth, but also incur significant losses in the process. In pursuit of this growth strategy, in Q1 2018 we have increased our sales and marketing expenditures substantially to increase revenue growth and to test new marketing initiatives. Largely as a result of this new strategy, we expect to incur a total pre-tax loss of approximately $50 million in Q1 2018 ($35 million ecommerce, $15 million Medici)'.
