Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFIX), the trusted online personal styling
service, today announced its financial results for the first
quarter of fiscal 2024, ended October 28, 2023.
“The original vision of Stitch Fix is as
powerful, relevant and compelling today as it was when the company
was launched, and I am confident that our best days are ahead of
us,” said Matt Baer, Chief Executive Officer. “This quarter's
results are encouraging, and I'm pleased with the progress we have
made to date. We continue to focus on optimizing the business in
the short term while working to reimagine our business and
operating model with the goal of delivering sustainable and
profitable growth in the future.”
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we
ceased operations of our UK business and met the accounting
requirements for reporting the UK business as a discontinued
operation. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect the results of the UK business as a discontinued
operation for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted,
amounts and disclosures below relate to our continuing
operations.
First Quarter
Fiscal 2024 Key Metrics and
Financial Highlights
-
Net revenue from continuing operations of $364.8 million, a
decrease of 18% year-over-year, but at the higher end of our first
quarter 2024 guidance range.
-
Net loss from continuing operations of $26.2 million and diluted
loss per share from continuing operations of $0.22.
-
Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $8.6 million, which
exceeded the high end of our first quarter 2024 guidance and
reflects benefits from our disciplined cost management.
-
Active clients from continuing operations of 2,989,000, a decrease
of 132,000, or 4%, quarter-over-quarter; and a decrease of 515,000,
or 15%, year-over-year.
-
Net revenue per active client (“RPAC”) from continuing operations
of $506, a decrease of 6% year-over-year.
-
We generated positive free cash flow from continuing operations for
the fourth quarter in a row, delivering $16.9 million in the first
fiscal quarter. We ended the quarter with $262.3 million of cash,
cash equivalents, and investments attributable to continuing
operations; and no bank debt.
-
On December 4, 2023, we entered into a credit agreement with
Citibank, N.A., which provides for a $50.0 million revolving credit
facility maturing on December 4, 2026. The borrowing availability
under this facility will be based upon a borrowing base formula
valuing certain of our accounts receivable, credit card
receivables, and inventory as reduced by certain reserves, if any.
Our initial borrowing availability is $50.0 million, and we do not
anticipate borrowing on the facility. Upon entry into this
facility, our existing revolving credit agreement was
terminated.
Financial Outlook
Our financial outlook for our continuing
operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 ending
January 27, 2024 is as follows:
|
Q2 2024 |
Net Revenue from Continuing Operations |
$325 million - $335 million |
(19)% - (16)% YoY decline |
Adjusted EBITDA from
Continuing Operations |
$2 million - $7 million |
1% - 2% margin |
Our fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period
ending on the Saturday closest to July 31. The fiscal year 2023 was
a 52-week year and the fiscal year 2024 is a 53-week year, with the
extra week occurring in the fourth quarter ending August 3,
2024.
Our financial outlook for our continuing
operations for fiscal year 2024, which contemplates the 53-week
period, is as follows:
|
Fiscal Year 2024 |
Net Revenue from Continuing Operations |
$1.30 billion - $1.37 billion |
(18)% - (14)% YoY |
(20)% - (15)% YoY adjusted to a 52-week period (1) |
Adjusted EBITDA from
Continuing Operations |
$10 million - $30 million |
1% - 2% margin |
(1) Full fiscal year 2024 net revenue from continuing operations
has been adjusted to remove the 53rd week for year-over-year
comparative purposes.
Stitch Fix has not reconciled its Adjusted
EBITDA from continuing operations outlook to GAAP net income (loss)
from continuing operations because it does not provide an outlook
for GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations due to the
uncertainty and potential variability of restructuring and other
one-time costs related to continuing operations, net other income
(expense), provision for income taxes, and stock-based compensation
expense, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA from
continuing operations and GAAP net income (loss) from continuing
operations. Because Stitch Fix cannot reasonably predict such
items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook
to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without
unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could
have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income
(loss) from continuing operations. For more information regarding
the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please
see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP
financial measures provide users of our financial information with
additional useful information in evaluating our performance. We
believe that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted
EBITDA”) is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in
their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure
facilitates comparisons between continuing operations of companies.
We believe free cash flow from continuing operations (“Free Cash
Flow”) is an important metric because it represents a measure of
how much cash from continuing operations we have available for
discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of
capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be
different than similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are several
limitations related to the use of our non-GAAP financial measures
as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures. Some of these
limitations include:
-
Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income and net other (income)
expense as these items are not components of our core
business;
-
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our provision for income taxes,
which may increase or decrease cash available to us;
-
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the recurring, non-cash expenses of
depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and,
although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated
and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
-
Adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-cash expense of stock-based
compensation, which has been, and will continue to be for the
foreseeable future, an important part of how we attract and retain
our employees and a significant recurring expense in our
business;
-
Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs incurred related to discrete
restructuring plans and other one-time costs attributable to our
continuing operations that are fundamentally different in strategic
nature and frequency from ongoing initiatives. We believe exclusion
of these items facilitates a more consistent comparison of
operating performance over time, however these costs do include
cash outflows; and
-
Free Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow
available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect our
future contractual commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from
continuing operations excluding interest income, net other (income)
expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization,
stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring and other
one-time costs related to our continuing operations. The following
table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing
operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted
EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

Active Clients
We define an active client as a client who
checked out a Fix or was shipped an item via Freestyle in
the preceding 52 weeks, measured as of the last day of that period.
A client checks out a Fix when she indicates what items she is
keeping through our mobile application or on our website. We
consider each Women’s, Men’s, or Kids account as a client, even if
they share the same household.
Net Revenue per Active
Client
We calculate net revenue per active client based
on net revenue over the preceding four fiscal quarters divided by
the number of active clients, measured as of the last day of the
period. Net revenue per active client was $506 and $541 as of
October 28, 2023, and October 29, 2022, respectively.
