Executive summary
Q2 sales were $115.5M, down 7.5% year-over-year, with a net loss of $0.3M versus $2.4M net income last year; comparable sales declined 9.2% due to weak demand and macroeconomic headwinds.
Store sales outperformed direct, with store comps down 7.1% and direct down 14.4%; direct business was impacted by e-commerce platform challenges.
Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 was $4.6M (4.0% margin), down from $6.5M (5.2% margin) last year.
The company is prioritizing private brands, aiming for over 60% penetration in 2026 and 65% in 2027, to improve margins and customer loyalty.
Macro environment remains challenging, with tepid apparel demand, increased competition, and ongoing tariff and economic headwinds.
Financial highlights
Gross margin rate was 45.2%, down from 48.2% last year, mainly due to higher occupancy and freight costs.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 41.2% from 43%, with a $6.1M reduction mainly from lower marketing spend.
Cash and short-term investments ended at $33.5M, down from $63.2M last year, with no outstanding debt and $70.1M available under the credit facility.
Free cash flow for the first six months was a use of $14.2M, compared to generation of $3.2M last year, mainly due to lower earnings and inventory timing.
Inventory at Q2 end was $78.9M, up slightly year-over-year, but down 28.5% from 2019.
Outlook and guidance
Sequential improvement in comp sales continued into August, with month-to-date results better than July's negative 7% and Q2's negative 9.2%.
Private brand penetration targeted to exceed 60% in 2026 and 65% in 2027; FITMAP technology expansion targeted to 200 stores by 2027.
Tariffs are expected to increase inventory costs by just under $4M in fiscal 2025, with mitigation efforts and potential price increases planned.
Store development is paused after two more openings in 2025, with future expansion contingent on business stabilization.
Capital expenditures for 2025 projected at $17M–$19M, net of tenant incentives; marketing costs expected at ~5.9% of sales.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
