THE BRAND HOUSE COLLECTIVE REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2025 RESULTS

PR Newswire

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Brand House Collective, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBHC) (“Brand House Collective” or the “Company”), formerly Kirkland’s, Inc., announced its financial results for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 1, 2025.

Amy Sullivan, CEO of Brand House Collective, said, “Our inventory optimization efforts are strategically supporting our store conversion program, creating space for expanded Bed Bath & Beyond assortments as we transform our retail footprint. The successful conversion of our Tennessee locations to the Bed Bath & Beyond Home format demonstrates the progress we’re making in this evolution. Looking ahead, the pending merger with Bed Bath & Beyond will combine our complementary strengths and will enable us to build a powerful omnichannel platform for sustained growth. We are confident this combination will strengthen our comprehensive home retail offering, unlock meaningful operational and financial synergies, and deliver increased earnings power with enhanced long-term growth potential for all shareholders.”

Third
Quarter 2025 Financial Results

  • Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $103.5 million, compared to $114.4 million in the prior year quarter, driven by a 7.4% decline in consolidated comparable sales and a decline in store count of approximately 6%. Consolidated comparable sales is inclusive of a comparable store sales increase of 1.7% and e-commerce decline of 34.6% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
  • Gross profit was $21.1 million, or 20.4% of net sales, compared to $32.1 million, or 28.1% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The decline is primarily a result of a decline in merchandise margin and the deleverage of store occupancy costs on lower sales. The decline in merchandise margin was primarily due to liquidation activity to optimize inventory ahead of expanding Bed Bath & Beyond assortments and incremental tariff costs.
  • Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2025 were $23.1 million, or 22.3% of net sales, compared to $34.5 million, or 30.2% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The reduction in expenses to prior year was driven by reduced marketing spend and lower cost for self-insured employee benefits, as well as a $10.0 million gain on the sale of the Kirkland’s brand to Beyond.
  • Net loss in the third quarter of 2025 was $3.7 million, or a loss of $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $7.7 million, or a loss of $0.59 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding in the third quarter of 2025 were approximately 22.5 million compared to 13.1 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to Beyond acquiring approximately 8.9 million shares of common stock in the Company.
  • Adjusted net loss* in the third quarter of 2025 was $13.6 million, or an adjusted loss of $0.61 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss of $3.8 million, or an adjusted loss of $0.29 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA* in the third quarter of 2025 was a loss of $9.9 million compared to income of $0.5 million in the prior year quarter.
  • During the period, the Company closed three Kirkland’s Home stores and converted 3 Kirkland’s Home stores to Bed Bath & Beyond Home stores to end the quarter with 303 Kirkland’s Home stores and 3 Bed Bath & Beyond Home stores.

Balance Sheet

  • As of November 1, 2025, inventory was $88.9 million compared to inventory of $111.2 million as of November 2, 2024.
  • As of November 1, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $6.5 million, with $61.6 million of outstanding debt and $5.8 million in outstanding letters of credit under its senior secured revolving credit facility, and $13.7 million in debt to Beyond, a related party and 40% owner of the Company. As of November 1, 2025, the Company had $1.0 million of availability for borrowing under the revolving credit facility, after the minimum required excess availability covenant.
  • As of December 15, 2025, the Company had $20.7 million of outstanding debt and $5.8 million of outstanding letters of credit under its revolving credit facility with $12.2 million of availability, after the minimum required excess availability covenant, and $23.7 million in term loans to Beyond with $20.0 million available from Beyond.
  • Availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility fluctuates largely based on eligible inventory levels, and as eligible inventory increases in the second and third fiscal quarters in support of the Company’s back-half sales plans, the Company’s borrowing capacity increases correspondingly.

*Non-GAAP financial measures. Please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted Net Income” for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating loss, adjusted net loss and adjusted diluted loss per share. These measures are not in accordance with, and are not intended as alternatives to, GAAP financial measures. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes that they provide useful information to analysts and investors, as a supplement to GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company’s operational performance.

The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before income tax expense, interest expense, other income, the loss on extinguishment of debt, and depreciation. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to remove the gain on sale of internally developed intangible assets (as this does not represent a normal recurring gain), asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense (due to the non-cash nature of this expense), severance charges (as it fluctuates based on the needs of the business and does not represent a normal recurring operating expense), tornado related costs (as these do not represent a normal recurring expenses), and any financing related legal or professional fees that, due to their nature, did not qualify for capitalization as deferred debt or equity issuance costs.

Adjusted operating loss is defined as operating loss adjusted for the gain on sale of internally developed intangible assets, asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, tornado related costs, and financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization. The Company defines adjusted net loss as net loss adjusted for gain on sale of internally developed intangible assets, asset impairment, stock-based compensation expense, severance charges, tornado related costs, the loss on extinguishment of debt, financing related legal or professional fees not qualifying for capitalization, and the related tax adjustments. The Company defines adjusted loss per diluted share as adjusted net loss divided by weighted average diluted share count.

Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Each non-GAAP financial measure has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

The following table shows an unaudited non-GAAP measure reconciliation of net loss to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (in thousands) for the periods indicated:

(1)

Internally developed intangible assets refers to the Kirkland’s brand that was sold to Beyond for a purchase price of $10.0 million in the third quarter.


(2)

Asset impairment charges are related primarily to property and equipment.


(3)

Stock-based compensation expense includes amounts amortized to expense related to equity incentive plans.


(4)

Consulting and legal fees incurred relating to the Company’s transactions with Beyond that, due to their nature, did not qualify for capitalization as deferred debt or equity issuance costs. Given the magnitude and scope of these strategic transactions, the Company considers the incremental consulting and legal fees incurred not reflective of the ongoing costs to operate its business.


(5)

Severance charges include expenses related to severance agreements and permanent store closure compensation costs.


(6)

Loss on extinguishment of debt includes expenses related to the extinguishment of the FILO Term Loan including a $2.6 million prepayment penalty and the write off of the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.


(7)

Tornado related costs include the write-off of damaged inventory, a component of cost of sales, and expenses to move product to temporary storage and professional fees to secure and repair the damage caused by the tornado that damaged the Company’s distribution center in Jackson, Tennessee on May 20, 2025 which are recorded in other operating expenses, net of insurance proceeds.
