Results for the <\/span>First Quarter<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cWe delivered a solid start to the year that marks a meaningful inflection point in our journey,\u201d said Ciaran Long, Chief Executive Officer, a.k.a. Brands. \u201cOver the past three years, we have fundamentally repositioned the business to improve profitability and durability. We\u2019ve expanded distribution across stores, wholesale, and marketplace, strengthened our operational foundation, and instilled greater financial discipline across the business. Our first quarter results demonstrate that this strategic work is translating into our financials, and we believe 2026 will be a meaningful proof point in our trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cFirst quarter net sales grew 3% to $132.5 million, and we delivered adjusted EBITDA of $5.1 million, ahead of expectations. More importantly, excluding one-time adjustments, gross margin expanded materially year-over-year, driven by improved inventory discipline, stronger full-price sell-through, and the continued rollout of our test-and-repeat model.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cOur brands continued to advance their strategic priorities during the quarter. Princess Polly is on pace with its retail expansion with 17 U.S. stores and 2 Australian stores expected to be open by the end of the year, along with a pop-up store opening at The Grove in Los Angeles later this month. Petal & Pup built wholesale momentum with strong performance across an expanding base of retail partners. Culture Kings\u2019 sustained investment in its in-house brand portfolio is delivering measurable results, with gross margin and full-price mix improving materially year-over-year. We are confident that the progress across our brands, combined with the strength of our financial foundation, positions us well for continued growth and profitability over the long term,\u201d Long concluded.<\/p>\n First Quarter Financial Details<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Balance Sheet and Cash Flow<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n Tariff Update<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nFollowing the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (\u201cIEEPA\u201d) does not authorize tariffs, the U.S. Court of International Trade has ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund IEEPA duties.<\/p>\n \nThe Company believes it is probable that it will recover the IEEPA tariffs previously paid and therefore has recognized a receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $25.8 million as of March 2026. Of this amount, $18.6 million was recognized in cost of goods sold and $7.2 million is capitalized as inventory on the balance sheet. As part of the IEEPA reversal, the Company also recognized approximately $2.0 million of charges related to the reversal of duty drawback benefits and other anticipated charges.<\/p>\n \nThe below outlook contemplates tariff rates that were in place exiting 2025 due to the uncertainty surrounding go-forward tariff rates.<\/p>\n Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nWe are providing the following guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2026 and the second quarter ending June 30, 2026:<\/p>\n (in millions)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Updated FY 2026 Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Prior FY 2026 Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet Sales<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$625 – $635<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$625 – $635<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA3<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$30 – $32<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$27 – $29<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nWeighted average diluted share count<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nCapital expenditures<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$18 – $20<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$18 – $20<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n (in millions)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Second Quarter 2026 Outlook<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet Sales<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$160 – $164<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA3<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$8.5 – $9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nWeighted average diluted share count<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n10.9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nThe guidance and forward-looking statements made in this press release and on the conference call are based on management\u2019s expectations as of the date of this press release.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin<\/b><\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to assess our operating performance.

We expect Adjusted EBITDA margin to increase over the long-term as we continue to scale our business and achieve greater leverage in our operating expenses.<\/p>\n \nWe calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: interest and other expense; provision for (benefit from) income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; equity-based compensation expense; costs to establish or relocate distribution centers; transaction costs; costs related to severance from headcount reductions; goodwill and intangible asset impairment; sales tax penalties; insured losses, net of any recoveries; and one-time or non-recurring items. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company\u2019s control or ability to predict.
