Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 14, 2000, Peter Neupert, President and Chief Executive Officer of
drugstore.com, inc., will speak to the press and expects to provide the
following information:
Although one doesn't think of a drugstore as a business that benefits from
seasonal shopping patterns, our holiday store is doing well. We approximately
doubled the number of holiday stock keeping units, or SKUs, available this year
and demand for holiday items is really strong. In a single week, we shipped more
holiday store product units than we shipped in all of last year's holiday
season.
drugstore.com has proven adept at selling new brands. For example, in the 1999
holiday season, drugstore.com experienced strong demand from its customers for
philosophy, inc. products. This holiday season, we are experiencing strong
demand for Burt's Bees products.
Overall consumer demand is strong this quarter. In a single week, we recognized
more revenue than we did in all of the second quarter of 1999.
In the week beginning December 4, we shipped twice the order volume that we did
in the week beginning two weeks before it while maintaining quality customer
service levels: Most orders were shipped within 24 hours of order placement and
we answered over 95% of all customer phone calls within 30 seconds.
We do not intend to update this information, unless we believe it is appropriate
or necessary to do so in accordance with the SEC's Regulation FD.
