Torrid Holdings Inc. (“Torrid” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CURV), a
direct-to-consumer apparel, intimates, and accessories brand in
North America for women sizes 10 to 30, today announced its
financial results for the quarter ended February 1, 2025.
Lisa Harper, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We successfully
closed fiscal 2024 with positive results, fueled by product
innovation in our core assortment and strong customer response to
the launch of our high-growth, higher margin sub-brands. Thoughtful
growth of our well received sub-brands set the stage for elevated,
new and younger customer engagement, incremental lifestyle
purchases, as well as creating a halo effect across the business.
Combining our successful sub-brand assortment initiatives with our
commitment to modernizing and evolving our core Torrid offerings
gives me great confidence in the long-term health and growth
prospects of our business.”
Harper continued, “As we enter 2025, our strategic priorities
are clear: enhancing our product assortment, driving customer
growth, and executing our store optimization plan. Our ongoing
store optimization strategy includes balancing our fleet, enhancing
store economics, refreshing store environments, and aligning our
sales channels more closely with customer demand—allowing us to
further accelerate customer growth.”
“Our fiscal first quarter was off to a choppy start; however,
trends have been steadily improving as the quarter has progressed.
Our disciplined inventory management, targeted marketing
investments, and our diversified supply chain, coupled with our
strong financial condition provides us the confidence and
flexibility to navigate the current dynamic macro environment,
while strategically investing in areas of our business which we
believe will fuel long-term profitable growth,” concluded
Harper.

Balance Sheet and Cash
Flow
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2024
totaled $48.5 million. Total liquidity at the end of the
year, including available borrowing capacity under our revolving
credit agreement, was $158.0 million.
Cash flow from operations for the twelve-month period
ended February 1, 2025 was $77.4 million, compared to $42.8
million for the twelve-month period ended February 3, 2024.
Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025 the Company
expects:
- Net sales between $264 million and $274 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) between $24 million and $28 million.
For the full year fiscal 2025 the Company expects:
- Net sales between $1.080 billion and $1.100 billion.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) between $100 million and $110 million.
- Capital expenditures between $15 million and $20 million
reflecting infrastructure and technology investments as well as
between 4 and 8 new stores for the year.
The above outlook is based on several assumptions, including,
but not limited to, the macroeconomic challenges in the industry in
fiscal 2025 as well as higher labor costs. The above outlook does
not take into consideration the volatility of tariff changes or its
impact on inflation or consumer demand. See “Forward-Looking
Statements” for additional information.
Conference Call Details
A conference call to discuss the Company’s fourth quarter and
fiscal 2024 results is scheduled for March 20, 2025, at 4:30 p.m.
ET. Those who wish to participate in the call may do so by dialing
(877) 407-9208 or (201) 493-6784 for international callers. The
conference call will also be webcast live at
https://investors.torrid.com. For those unable to participate, a
replay of the conference call will be available approximately three

Notes
(1)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial
measure. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Non-GAAP
Reconciliation” for additional information on non-GAAP financial
measures and the accompanying table for a reconciliation to the
most comparable GAAP measure. The Company does not provide
reconciliations of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures of
Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable forward-looking
GAAP measure because the timing and amount of excluded items are
unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. For the
same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable
significance of the unavailable information, which could be
material to future results.
(2)
Comparable sales for any given period are
defined as the sales of Torrid’s e-Commerce operations and stores
that it has included in its comparable sales base during that
period. The Company includes a store in its comparable sales base
after it has been open for 15 full fiscal months. If a store is
closed during a fiscal year, it is only included in the computation
of comparable sales for the full fiscal months in which it was
open. Partial fiscal months are excluded from the computation of
comparable sales. Fiscal 2024 comparable sales compares sales in
fiscal 2024 to sales in the 52-week period ended February 3, 2024.
Fiscal 2023 comparable sales compares sales in fiscal 2023 to sales
in the 53-week period ended February 4, 2023. Comparable sales
allow the Company to evaluate how its unified commerce business is
performing exclusive of the effects of new store openings. The
Company applies current year foreign currency exchange rates to
both current year and prior year comparable sales to remove the
impact of foreign currency fluctuation and achieve a consistent
basis for comparison.

experience and product offerings establish us as a differentiated
and reliable choice for plus- and mid-size customers, which we
believe sets us apart in the market. We strive to be everything our
customer needs in her closet, consistently delivering products that
make her feel confident and stylish.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results determined in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”), management utilizes certain non-GAAP performance
measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, for purposes of evaluating
ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting
purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP operating measures, when
reviewed collectively with our GAAP financial information, provide
useful supplemental information to investors in assessing our
operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our operating
performance that is neither required by, nor presented in
accordance with, GAAP and our calculations thereof may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies. Adjusted EBITDA represents GAAP net income (loss) plus
interest expense less interest income, net of other expense
(income), plus provision for (benefit from) income taxes,
depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), and share-based
compensation, non-cash deductions and charges, and other
expenses.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance
comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of
certain items that vary from period to period without any
correlation to ongoing operating performance. We also use Adjusted
EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting
the overall expected performance of our business and for evaluating
on a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such
expectations.
Further, we recognize Adjusted EBITDA as a commonly used measure
in determining business value and, as such, use it internally to
report and analyze our results and as a benchmark to determine
certain non-equity incentive payments made to executives.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. This
measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under
GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative
to or substitute for net income (loss), income (loss) from
operations, earnings (loss) per share or any other performance
measures determined in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to
cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an
inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or
non-recurring items.

made in this communication in the context of these risks and
uncertainties.
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our
operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed

we caution that it is very difficult to predict the effect of known
factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that
could affect our actual results. We caution you that the important
factors referenced above may not include all of the factors that
are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we
will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate
or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the
outcomes or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The
forward-looking statements included in this earnings release are
made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise except to the extent
required by law. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the
potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions,
joint ventures or investments.
