Profit Progress Encourages, May Come at the Expense of Long-Term Market Share for The RealReal
Business Strategy and Outlook
The luxury apparel resale space has been chronically underserved, with an inefficient network of brick-and-mortar boutiques capturing the bulk of sales over the last decade. The RealReal exists to serve this end market more efficiently, with white-glove inventory sourcing, faithful authentication protocols, and an online platform leading to step-change improvements in platform depth, turnover, and vibrancy. We view the company's strategy as relatively sound, and appreciate its efforts to restructure its looming 2025 debt to assuage bankruptcy concerns.
