Terry Pearce added, " We continue to be very optimistic about the long-term prospects for Purple. In the near-term, we have adopted a more conservative top-line outlook to reflect increased pressure from online competition, lower online conversion rates in conjunction with the higher-priced models, and a slower than expected rollout of our wholesale business. Our revised revenue guidance is also based on the rising costs of digital advertising and marketing activities combined with our commitment to managing the business to breakeven on an adjusted EBITDA basis for 2018."
