A ransomware attack damaged the logistics systems, and the company had to stop taking orders on its websites for a while.
While recovering, it shipped low-margin items such as copy paper first, then ran its largest-ever promotions, including price cuts, which lowered the gross margin.
Lower sales made fixed costs weigh more, manual warehouse work cut efficiency, and a new distribution center added start-up costs.
Recovery costs for the system outage and an impairment of goodwill at a subsidiary were booked as extraordinary losses, deepening the net loss.

Despite new security measures, a larger cyberattack or system failure could halt operations again and bring costs and a loss of trust.
If it leans too long on its next-day delivery model, it could lose customers to competitors.
If big system or logistics investments underdeliver, the company may have to book impairments.
