Financial Outlook

Stitch Fix’s revenue outlook for fiscal year 2027 reflects a more challenging consumer environment and a lower active client starting point, which we expect will temper revenue growth. In addition, Stitch Fix’s revenue outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was impacted by a reduction in Fix volume due to two primary factors: (1) a decision to adjust the timing of some Fix shipments in the fourth quarter, which shifted Fix volume from the first quarter of fiscal 2027 into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and (2) an unintended change made to the post-checkout offer flow in August that limited the number of clients eligible to request another Fix, which has been corrected and will not affect results beyond the first quarter.

Stitch Fix’s adjusted EBITDA outlook for fiscal year 2027 reflects strategic investments in advertising and technology, including artificial intelligence, to support long-term growth.

Stitch Fix’s financial outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, ending October 31, 2026, is as follows:

Stitch Fix’s financial outlook for fiscal year 2027 is as follows:

Stitch Fix expects its full fiscal year 2027 gross margin to be between 43% and 44%. Stitch Fix also expects to generate positive free cash flow for the full year.

Stitch Fix’s fiscal year is a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to July 31. Fiscal years 2025 and 2026 are 52-week years.

Stitch Fix has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) or free cash flow outlook to net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) or net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations due to the uncertainty and potential variability of restructuring and other one-time costs, net other income (expense), provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, or net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP financial measure and the corresponding GAAP measure. Because Stitch Fix cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlooks to the corresponding GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) and free cash flow. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Discontinued Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Stitch Fix ceased operations of its UK business and met the accounting requirements for reporting the UK business as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, its unaudited 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 relate to its continuing operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its 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 its financial information with additional useful information in evaluating the Company’s performance. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue for the period, are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between continuing operations of companies. The Company believes 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 the Company has 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.

These 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 these non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations include:

• Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income and other (income) expense, net as these items are not components of our core business;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect provision for income taxes, which may increase or decrease cash available;
• 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 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 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;
• Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-ordinary course legal fees for specific proceedings that we have determined arise outside of the ordinary course of business and are nonrecurring, infrequent, or unusual; and
• Free Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect future contractual commitments.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding interest income, other (income) expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other one-time costs, and non-ordinary course legal fees related to our continuing operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue for the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, and net loss margin, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA margin, for each of the periods presented:

Free Cash Flow

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations, reduced by purchases of property and equipment that are included in cash flows from investing activities from continuing operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Free Cash Flow for each of the periods presented:

Operating Metrics

Active Clients

We believe that the number of active clients is a key indicator of the overall health of our business. 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. Clients check out a Fix when they indicate what items they are 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. A single person could have multiple accounts and count as multiple active clients.

Net Revenue per Active Client

We believe that net revenue per active client is an indicator of client engagement and satisfaction. 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.
