CHICO, Calif., March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lulu's Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. ("Lulus" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: LVLU) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 and issued its financial outlook for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2027.
Crystal Landsem, CEO of Lulus, said:
"Our fourth quarter results highlight the significant, steady progress we delivered in 2025, and represent another proof point of the momentum building across the business. Throughout the year, we saw sequential quarterly improvement in our year-over-year net revenue comparisons. In 2025, we made substantial progress towards profitability, including four consecutive quarters of product margin expansion resulting in a 200-basis-point gross margin improvement for the year. These results reinforce the impact of our focused assortment strategy, ongoing optimization efforts, and higher margin event-driven mix.
Importantly, we delivered our third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA, supported by our leaner cost structure and product margin gains. As we continue to reposition our casual wear and footwear categories, the measurable progress we've made each quarter gives us strong conviction in our strategy and key priorities. We believe we entered 2026 well positioned to extend our positive momentum through disciplined execution and capitalizing on our strengths in event dressing. We remain committed to fueling our core business and broadening and enhancing customer engagement to unlock sustainable, long-term profitability."
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights:
- Gross profit increased 11% to $27.9 million and Gross Margin increased 640 basis points to 44.3%, in each case compared to the same period last year.
- Net revenue of $63.0 million, a 5% decrease compared to the same period last year, driven by an 11% decrease in Total Orders Placed, partially offset by a 6% increase in Average Order Value ("AOV") from $129 to $137, compared to the same period last year.
- Net loss of $0.4 million, compared to net loss of $31.9 million, or net loss of $3.4 million excluding a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $28.4 million, in the same period last year.

Heidi Crane, CFO of Lulus, said:
"Our financial performance throughout 2025 gives us confidence in the strength of our fundamentals and the resilience of our model. Over the course of the year, we delivered meaningful progress across our key profitability drivers - including sustained product margin expansion, improved gross margins, favorable return behavior, and a more efficient cost structure - all supported by disciplined inventory management and ongoing operational rigor. These achievements, combined with the completion of our new asset- based credit facility, have strengthened our liquidity position and enhanced our financial flexibility heading into the new year.
In 2026, we remain focused on driving profitability through continued margin optimization, a more curated and higher margin assortment mix, and the ongoing benefits of our sourcing, SKU rationalization, and cost reduction initiatives. We expect the steady improvements made throughout 2025 - including stronger event- driven demand, increasing wholesale contribution, and healthier unit economics - to carry forward, positioning us to deliver further EBITDA expansion and improved cash generation year-over-year."
2026 Financial Outlook:
As we enter 2026, our focus is on driving profitability while continuing to strengthen the business. In the first quarter, we are prioritizing higher quality demand and disciplined order economics while actively and more aggressively resetting the assortment of our casual apparel and footwear categories. As a result of these actions, we expect first quarter 2026 revenue trends to be sequentially lower than the fourth quarter 2025. We expect Adjusted EBITDA to be negative for the first quarter of 2026, which can be typical for first quarters, however we expect meaningful improvement in year-over-year Adjusted EBITDA. We believe these steps will better align our assortment with customer demand and position the business for improved profitability during our upcoming peak selling periods, typically in the second and third quarters, and deliver stronger cash flows for the full year. We also continue to strengthen our financial position, with net debt expected to be between $7.5 and $8.0 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026.
For the full year fiscal 2026:
- We expect Adjusted EBITDA to inflect to positive, compared to $(1.2) million in 2025, and the net revenue growth trend to improve year-over-year, compared to negative 11% in 2025.
- We expect capital expenditures to be between $2.0 million and $2.5 million, inclusive of capitalized software, comparable to 2025 levels.
Forecasting future results or trends is inherently difficult for any business, and actual results or trends may differ materially from those forecasted. Lulus' outlook is based on current indications for its business. Lulus' outlook factors in our current best estimates for anticipated headwinds, including those related to the level of tariffs, consumer demand, spending and returns by our customers, macroeconomic uncertainties, inflation, supply chain pressures, shipping and fuel costs, and the intended impact of our business initiatives in 2026 and cost-reduction measures. Given the volatile nature of current consumer demand and potential for further impacts to consumer behavior due to macroeconomic factors, including continued inflation, higher interest rates, the federal government shutdown, student loan repayment resumption, global political changes, including as a result of tariffs or bans, existing and future laws, regulations, and directives (including executive orders), as well as other world events, wars, and domestic and international conflicts that affect overall consumer confidence and the predictability of consumer purchasing behavior, Lulus' financial outlook is subject to change.

All statements other than statements of historical or current fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements, including but not limited to statements regarding our strategic priorities, business initiatives, demand trends, opportunities for long-term growth, and our financial outlook for the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2026 and fiscal year ending January 3, 2027.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release. A reconciliation of Net Debt on a forward-looking basis cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts, as we are unable to provide the total debt amount for the outlook period and reconciling information with respect to the adjustment item of cash and cash equivalents. Definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating metrics are presented below. We also use certain key operating metrics, including Gross Margin, Active Customers, Average Order Value, and Total Orders Placed.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of the impact of equity-based compensation, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of our net revenue.
Active Customers
We define Active Customers as the number of customers who have made at least one purchase across our platform in the prior 12-month period. Active Customer count is measured as of the last day of the relevant period. We consider the number of Active Customers to be a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to consumer awareness of our brand, our ability to attract visitors to our digital platform, and our ability to convert visitors to paying customers. Active Customer counts are based on deduplication logic using customer account and guest checkout name, address, and email information.
Average Order Value (AOV)
We define AOV as the sum of the total gross sales before returns across our platform in a given period, plus shipping revenue, less discounts and markdowns, divided by the Total Orders Placed (as defined below) in that period. AOV reflects the average basket size of our customers. AOV may fluctuate as we continue investing in the development and introduction of new Lulus merchandise and as a result of our promotional discount activity.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for capitalized software development costs and purchases of property and equipment. We view Free Cash Flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate.
Gross Margin
We define Gross Margin as gross profit as a percentage of our net revenue. Gross profit is equal to our net revenue less cost of revenue. Certain of our competitors and other retailers may report cost of revenue differently than we do. As a result, the reporting of our gross profit and Gross Margin may not be comparable to other companies.
Net Debt
Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total debt, which currently consists of borrowings under the Company's 2025 credit agreement with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, as amended, less cash and cash equivalents. We consider Net Debt to be an important supplemental measure of our financial position, which allows us to analyze our leverage.
Total Orders Placed
We define Total Orders Placed as the number of customer orders placed across our platform during a particular period. An order is counted on the day the customer places the order. We do not adjust the number of Total Orders Placed for any cancellation or return that may have occurred subsequent to a customer placing an order. We consider Total Orders Placed as a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to our ability to attract and retain customers as well as drive purchase frequency. Total Orders Placed, together with AOV, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to generate in a particular period.
