First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

• Net revenues were $159.9 million, an increase of 28.0% year over year, primarily due to an increase in orders from new and existing customers and higher average order value (“AOV”). ⁽¹⁾
  • Scrubwear net revenues were $126.6 million, an increase of 27.2% year over year.
  • Non-scrubwear net revenues were $33.3 million, an increase of 31.3% year over year.
  • U.S. net revenues were $131.6 million, an increase of 24.1% year over year.
  • International net revenues were $28.3 million, an increase of 49.9% year over year.
• Gross margin was 67.7%, an increase of 10 basis points year over year, primarily reflecting the positive impacts from pricing and our ongoing efficiency efforts, largely offset by higher tariffs and product mix shift.
• Operating expenses were $103.8 million, an increase of 22.6% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses decreased to 64.9% from 67.8% in the same period last year, primarily due to fixed cost leverage, lower stock-based compensation expense, and lower fulfillment and shipping expenses, partially offset by higher marketing expenses related to our 2026 Winter Olympics campaign.
• Net income was $6.3 million, or $0.03 in diluted earnings per share, compared to net loss of $(0.1) million, or $(0.00) in diluted earnings per share, in the same period last year.
• Net income (loss) margin⁽²⁾ was 3.9%, as compared to (0.1)% in the same period last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽³⁾ was $13.9 million, an increase of $4.7 million year over year.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽²⁾⁽³⁾ was 8.7%, as compared to 7.3% in the same period last year.

“Our outperformance in the first quarter shows that our broad-based momentum from 2025 has continued into 2026,” said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Our excellent top line growth was driven by both acceleration in our active customer base, which surpassed three million for the first time in our history, and strong repeat dynamics. We also paired our top line beat with upside to the bottom line, highlighting the structural advantage of our business model. We believe our product, brand, and community strategies, combined with the substantial long-term tailwinds in healthcare, position us for continued success going forward.”

Key Operating Metrics

• Active customers⁽¹⁾ as of March 31, 2026 increased 12.2% year over year to 3.0 million.
• Net revenues per active customer⁽¹⁾ was $220, an increase of 5.8% year over year.
• AOV⁽¹⁾ was $124, an increase of 4.2% year over year, primarily driven by higher average unit retail due to pricing and favorable product mix.

Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook

Sarah Oughtred, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our strong start to 2026 fuels our confidence and supports higher net revenues and adjusted EBITDA margin expectations for the rest of the year. We now expect top-line growth of 14% to 16%, including growth in the low 20% range in Q2, driven by strength across active customers, AOV, and frequency. Our improved bottom-line outlook reflects our top-line momentum and operational execution, enabling continued investments in growth while effectively managing higher freight surcharges. Finally, our balance sheet remains a source of strength, positioning us to continue driving shareholder returns.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company uses “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” to provide useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating its ability to generate earnings, provide consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its core operating results as well as the results of its peer companies. The Company uses “free cash flow” as a useful supplemental measure of liquidity and as an additional basis for assessing its ability to generate cash. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: other income (loss), net; gain/loss on disposal of assets; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation and related expense; transaction costs; and expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA margin” by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenues. The Company calculates “free cash flow” as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”

The Company has also included herein “active customers,” “net revenues per active customer” and “average order value,” which are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding Company performance. The Company believes the number of active customers is an important indicator of growth as it reflects the reach of the Company’s digital platform, brand awareness and overall value proposition. The Company defines an active customer as a unique customer account that has made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. In any particular period, the Company determines the number of active customers by counting the total number of customers who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period. The Company believes measuring net revenues per active customer is important to understanding engagement and retention of customers, and as such, the value proposition for its customer base. The Company defines net revenues per active customer as the sum of total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period active customers. The Company defines average order value as the sum of the total net revenues in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. Total orders are the summation of all completed individual purchase transactions in a given period. The Company believes its relatively high average order value demonstrates the premium nature of its products. As the Company expands into and increases its presence in additional product categories, price points and international markets, average order value may fluctuate.

Active customers as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, net revenues per active customer as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are presented below under the heading “Key Operating Metrics.”
