Wayfair CEO, co-founder and co-chairman Niraj Shah said: “While the home furnishings category experienced a choppy start to the year, we outperformed the market by a high single-digit spread in the first quarter, based on our estimates.
“Our scale enables us to deliver a customer experience that is difficult to replicate, supported by years of investment in our core offering, global logistics network, and technology platform. We are particularly encouraged by the pace at which our share gains are accelerating and remain excited about the opportunity ahead.”
