Key financial and operating metrics:
Investors should review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Total net revenue - Total net revenue for Q1 2014 and 2013 was $341.2 million and $312.0 million, respectively, a 9% increase. The growth in net revenue was primarily due to an increase of 8% in average order size, from $153 to $165, coupled with a 5% increase in orders. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the amount of orders taken but not delivered at quarter end due to higher average daily sales in the last week of the quarter and the timing of quarter end.
Gross profit - Gross profit for Q1 2014 and 2013 was $64.0 million and $58.9 million, respectively, a 9% increase, representing 18.8% and 18.9% gross margin for those respective periods. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenue. The decrease in gross margin was largely due to increased promotional activities including coupons, site sales, and Club O rewards, which are recognized as a reduction of revenue.
Sales and marketing expenses - Sales and marketing expenses totaled $23.4 million and $18.7 million for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 25% increase, and representing 6.9% and 6.0% of total net revenue for those periods. The increase was primarily due to increased spending in the sponsored search marketing channel due to driving a higher proportion of our revenue through that channel, and from increased staff-related costs.
Contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure) and contribution margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Contribution for Q1 2014 and 2013 was $40.6 million and $40.2 million, respectively. Contribution margin was 11.9% and 12.9% for those periods.
Contribution (a non-GAAP financial measure - which we reconcile to "gross profit" in our statement of income) consists of gross profit less sales and marketing expense and reflects an additional way of viewing our results. Contribution margin is contribution as a percentage of total net revenue. We believe contribution and contribution margin provides management and users of the financial statements information about our ability to cover our operating costs, such as technology and general and administrative expenses. Contribution and contribution margin are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. The material limitation associated with the use of contribution is that it is an incomplete measure of profitability as it does not include all operating expenses or non-operating income and expenses. Management compensates for these limitations when using this measure by looking at other GAAP measures, such as operating income and net income.
Our calculation of contribution and contribution margin is set forth below (in thousands):

Technology expenses - Technology expenses totaled $19.6 million and $18.2 million for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively, an 8% increase, and representing 5.7% and 5.8% of total net revenue for those respective periods. The increase is primarily due to an increase in staff-related and external contractor costs.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses - G&A expenses totaled $15.3 million and $15.1 million for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively, a 1% increase, and representing 4.5% and 4.8% of total revenue for those respective periods. The $208,000 increase is primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in staff-related costs and professional fees, largely offset by a $777,000 decrease in legal costs and a $680,000 decrease in our estimate of legal loss contingencies.
Restructuring - Restructuring costs totaled ($360,000) and ($432,000) for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively. These reversals were a result of our reoccupation of formerly restructured facility space.
Interest income - Interest income was $41,000 and $34,000 for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Interest expense - Interest expense totaled $7,000 and $51,000 for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Other income (expense), net - Other income (expense), net totaled $459,000 and $345,000 for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased gift card breakage.
Provision for income taxes - Provision for income taxes totaled $2.6 million and $46,000 for Q1 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily due to our deferred tax asset valuation release in 2013.
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP financial measure) - Free cash flow totaled $37.4 million and $32.3 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The $5.1 million increase was due to a $6.9 million increase in operating cash flows partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in capital expenditures.
Free cash flow reflects an additional way of viewing our cash flows and liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and liquidity. Free cash flow, which we reconcile to "net cash provided by (used in) operating activities," is cash flow from operations reduced by "expenditures for fixed assets, including internal-use software and website development." We believe that cash flows from operating activities is an important measure, since it includes both the cash impact of the continuing operations of the business and changes in the balance sheet that impact cash. However, we believe free cash flow is a useful measure to evaluate our business since purchases of fixed assets are a necessary component of ongoing operations and free cash flow measures the amount of cash we have available for mandatory debt service and financing obligations, changes in our capital structure, and future investments, after we have paid our operating expenses. Therefore, we believe it is important to view free cash flow as a complement to our entire consolidated statements of cash flows.

This press release and the April 24, 2014 conference call and webcast to discuss our financial results may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are inherently difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially for a variety of reasons, including the amount and timing of our capital expenditures, the mix of products we sell, the results of legal proceedings and claims and the amounts we spend relating to them, the extent to which we owe income taxes, competition, fluctuations in operating results, any difficulties we may encounter as a result of accepting Bitcoin as payment, any inability to raise capital if needed on acceptable terms, our efforts to expand both domestically and internationally, risks of inventory management and seasonality. Other risks and uncertainties include, among others, risks related to new products and services we may offer, and difficulties with our infrastructure, our fulfillment partners or our payment processors, including cyber-attacks or data breaches affecting us or any of them. More information about factors that could potentially affect our financial results is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2014. This and our other subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission identify important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections, estimates and other forward-looking statements.
