Casper Sleep reached a settlement with $CSPR investors over claims of declining profits, halted expansion, and layoffs.

Outline

Back in 2020, Casper Sleep disclosed closing operations in Europe and reducing the workforce. After the company’s announcement, $CSPR fell significantly. Following this, Casper faced a lawsuit from investors for overstating its profit margins, core operations profitability, and growth prospects in its IPO.

Timeline
  • April 21, 2020: Casper announced closing European operations and reducing the workforce by 21%.
  • May 12, 2020: Casper reported its Q1 2020 net loss had nearly doubled.
  • June 4, 2020: $CSPR traded 32% below the IPO price.
  • June 19, 2020: Investors sued Casper, alleging that the company provided misleading information during its IPO.
Background

On January 10, 2020, Casper filed its IPO registration statement.

Casper reported that its retail stores were "four-wall profitable," and that its e-commerce operations were maintaining "first purchase profitable" economics.

They highlighted achieving a 50% gross margin for the three months ended September 2019, up from 42% in 2016. Casper also stated it had $26.9M in cash and cash equivalents as of December 2018​​.

However, in April 2020, Casper announced the closure of its European operations and a 21% workforce reduction to improve its cash position amid significant financial challenges.

On May 12, 2020, Casper reported a $34.5M net loss for Q1 2020, almost double the loss from the previous year. Their profit margin also dropped by 2%.

By June 4, 2020, $CSPR traded 32% below the IPO price​​.

On June 19, 2020, investors sued Casper Sleep, alleging it provided misleading information during its IPO.
