Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On August 19, 2022, Wayfair Inc. ("Wayfair," the "Company," "we" or "us") announced a workforce reduction involving approximately 870 employees in connection with its previously announced plans to manage operating expenses and realign investment priorities. This reduction represents approximately 5% of our global workforce and approximately 10% of our corporate team. Concurrently, the Company is in the process of making substantial reductions in its third party labor costs.

As a result of this workforce reduction, we expect to incur between approximately $30 million and $40 million of costs, consisting primarily of employee severance and benefit costs, substantially all of which we expect to incur in the third quarter of 2022. The foregoing estimated amounts do not include any non-cash charges associated with stock-based compensation. These estimates are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially.

If we subsequently determine that we will incur additional material restructuring costs or charges or there are material differences from the ranges provided above, we will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Current Report") to disclose any such material costs, charges, or differences. Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal and state securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Current Report including, but not limited to, our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy, plans and objectives of management for future operations, the expected reductions in third party labor costs, the estimated costs resulting from the workforce reduction, as well as when we expect any such charges, costs or savings will occur, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations of future events. The Company cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be accurate, although the Company believes that it has been reasonable in its expectations and assumptions. Investors should realize that if underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or that known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from the Company's expectations and projections. Investors are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and, except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.

A list and description of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause or contribute to differences in the Company's results can be found in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings. The Company qualifies all of its forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
