Liquidity Services Revenue by Segment

Forward Guidance

Liquidity Services did not provide quarterly guidance due to the economic uncertainty and unknown impact of the global pandemic.

Positive Outlook

  • Steady results in GovDeals segment as government facilities re-open.
  • Steady performance in RSCG segment as retailers seek secondary channels.
  • Increased opportunity in CAG segment as global COVID-19 restrictions are loosened.
  • Increased adoption of our self-service model.
  • Overall reduced operating expenses as we continue to operate with a reduced workforce and decreased travel.

Challenges Ahead

  • Trends still depend on numerous evolving factors, including whether a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic results in government and business closures.
  • Sequentially, sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase as we reinvigorate our investments and plan for continued long-term growth.
  • Decrease in our cash position compared to Q3FY20 as we make up for one-time deferrals in vendor payments.
  • Stable buyer demand yet we anticipate lower average pricing for assets across our segments as buyers take conservative approach to spending.
  • We are unable to accurately predict the extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations for our fourth quarter fiscal year 2020.
