Additional Third Quarter 2026 Metrics and Results Commentary

• Trailing 12-month active customers grew to 3,243,000 as of September 30, 2026, an increase of 18% year-over-year, our highest year-over-year growth rate in three and a half years.
• Net sales were $356.0 million, a year-over-year increase of 20%. The strong top-line growth was fueled by a 19% increase in total orders placed year-over-year and a reduced product return rate, partially offset by a lower average order value primarily attributable to initial sales of Grow-Good beauty products at much lower price points.
• Gross profit was $191.8 million, an increase of 19% year-over-year.
• Gross margin was 53.9%, a decrease of 75 basis points year-over-year, against a prior-year comparison in the third quarter of 2025 that included 347 basis points of expansion.
• Fulfillment costs were $12.2 million, or 3.4% of net sales, compared to $9.8 million, or 3.3% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2025.
• Selling and distribution costs were $63.5 million, or 17.8% of net sales, compared to $51.7 million, or 17.5% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2025. The reduced efficiency year-over-year as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to higher shipping rates, partially offset by a decrease in our product return rate year-over-year.
• Marketing costs were $50.8 million, or 14.3% of net sales, compared to $40.4 million, or 13.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2025. The increased marketing investment year-over-year as a percentage of net sales primarily reflects an increase in performance marketing and brand marketing investments to support various growth initiatives, including our first-ever namesake label, REVOLVE Los Angeles, within our owned brand assortment.
• General and administrative costs were $46.2 million, or 13.0% of net sales, compared to $38.6 million, or 13.0% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2025.
• Other income, net was $2.0 million compared to $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2025. Other income, net in the prior-year quarter was positively impacted by an insurance recovery of $4.5 million.
• Net income was $15.5 million, compared to net income of $21.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, which was positively impacted by the $4.5 million insurance recovery (approximately $3.4 million, net of taxes).
• Adjusted EBITDA was $23.5 million, a decrease of 7% year-over-year.
• Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.20, compared to diluted EPS of $0.29 in the third quarter of 2025, which was positively impacted by an insurance recovery equivalent to approximately $0.05 per diluted share.

Additional Net Sales Commentary

• REVOLVE segment net sales were $306.8 million, a year-over-year increase of 20%.
• FWRD segment net sales were $49.2 million, a year-over-year increase of 20%.
• Domestic net sales were $277.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 20%.
• International net sales were $78.6 million, a year-over-year increase of 22%.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

• Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(24.3) million in the third quarter and $16.9 million in
  the 9-month year-to-date period ended September 30, 2026, compared to $11.8 million and $69.6 million, respectively, in the comparable 2025 periods. The reduced operating cash flow year-over-year for the three- and nine-month periods of 2026 primarily reflects unfavorable changes in working capital.
• Free cash flow was $(27.0) million in the third quarter and $7.0 million in the 9-month year-to-date period ended September 30, 2026, compared to $6.6 million and $59.0 million, respectively, in the comparable 2025 periods.
• Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2026 were $284.6 million, a decrease of $30.8 million, or 10%, from $315.4 million as of September 30, 2025. Our balance sheet as of September 30, 2026 remains debt free.
• Inventory as of September 30, 2026 was $293.3 million, an increase of $54.5 million, or 23%, year-over-year, from the inventory balance of $238.8 million as of September 30, 2025.

Results Since the End of the Third Quarter of 2026

Net sales in October 2026 increased by a mid-teen percentage year-over-year. Of note, the net sales growth comparisons for November and December are much more difficult than the October year-over-year comparison. As background and as previously disclosed, our prior-year net sales comparison in October 2025 increased by a mid-single digit percentage year-over-year, and improved net sales growth in the months of November 2025 and December 2025 led to 10% year-over-year net sales growth for the fourth quarter of 2025.

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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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 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 the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" included at the end of this release. We encourage reviewing the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items.

Definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating metrics are presented below.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income before other income, net; taxes; and depreciation and amortization; adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense, certain transaction costs and certain non-routine items. 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 an item that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in purchases of property and equipment, and purchases of rental product, net of proceeds from the sale of rental product. We view free cash flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate. Free cash flow also reflects changes in working capital.

Active Customers

We define an active customer as a unique customer account from which a purchase was made across our platform at least once in the preceding 12-month period. In any particular period, we determine our number of active customers by counting the total number of customers who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period. We view the number of active customers as a key indicator of our growth, the reach of our sites, the value proposition and consumer awareness of our brand, the continued use of our sites by our customers and their desire to purchase our products.

Total Orders Placed

We define total orders placed as the total number of orders placed by our customers, prior to product returns, across our platform in any given period. We view total orders placed as a key indicator of the velocity of our business and an indication of the desirability of our products and sites to our customers. Total orders placed, together with average order value, is an indicator of the net sales we expect to recognize in a given period.

Average Order Value

We define average order value as the sum of the total gross sales from our sites in a given period, prior to product returns, divided by the total orders placed in that period. We believe our high average order value demonstrates the premium nature of our product assortment. Average order value varies depending on the site through which we sell merchandise, the mix of product categories sold, the number of units in each order, the percentage of sales at full price, and for sales at less than full price, the level of markdowns.
