Insights

Brilliant Earth's Q2 2024 results present a mixed picture. While net sales declined 4% year-over-year to $105.4 million, the company showed resilience in other areas. Notably, total orders increased by 3.6% and repeat orders by 17%, indicating strong customer loyalty. The expanded gross margin of 60.8%, up 320 basis points, is particularly impressive, suggesting improved operational efficiency.

However, the decline in Average Order Value (AOV) by 7.7% is concerning, potentially reflecting pricing pressures or a shift in product mix. The company's ability to grow bookings in wedding and anniversary bands, as well as fine jewelry, demonstrates successful diversification efforts. With a net income of $1.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million, Brilliant Earth is maintaining profitability despite challenges. The planned expansion of showrooms indicates confidence in their omnichannel strategy, but investors should monitor the impact on costs and ROI.

Brilliant Earth's performance reflects broader trends in the luxury goods market amidst economic uncertainties. The 3.6% increase in total orders suggests resilient demand, but the 7.7% decrease in AOV indicates consumers may be opting for lower-priced items. The 29% growth in fine jewelry bookings is particularly noteworthy, aligning with the trend of consumers seeking more affordable luxury options.

The company's focus on ethical sourcing and sustainability continues to resonate with today's conscious consumers, potentially contributing to the 17% increase in repeat orders. The planned expansion into new showrooms, including a street-level location in New York City, demonstrates a strategic push to enhance brand visibility and capture market share in key urban centers. However, the company's full-year outlook projecting net sales between $410 million and $425 million suggests caution, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic challenges in the luxury sector.

Brilliant Earth's Q2 results highlight the company's agility in a challenging retail environment. The expansion of gross margin to 60.8% is particularly impressive, indicating effective cost management and potentially favorable raw material prices. The growth in repeat orders and fine jewelry bookings suggests successful customer retention and category expansion strategies.

The company's omnichannel approach, blending e-commerce with strategic showroom openings, aligns with evolving consumer preferences for both digital convenience and in-person experiences. However, the 4.3% decline in net sales and projected 11-14% year-over-year decline for Q3 2024 warrant caution. The jewelry market remains sensitive to economic fluctuations and Brilliant Earth must navigate carefully to maintain growth. The focus on wedding and anniversary bands could provide some stability, as these purchases are often less discretionary. Overall, Brilliant Earth's performance demonstrates resilience, but sustained profitability in a challenging market will be key to watch.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Metrics

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with useful information in evaluating our operating performance and exclude certain items from net income that may vary substantially in frequency and magnitude from period to period.

We define EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, showroom pre-opening expense, equity-based compensation expense, certain non-operating expenses and income, and other unusual and/or infrequent costs, which that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of our core operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which eliminate the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business.

We define Adjusted Net income as net income adjusted for the impact of certain additional non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing performance of our core operations. These items include showroom pre-opening expense, equity-based compensation expense, costs to fund the Brilliant Earth Foundation and transaction costs and other expenses. We define Adjusted Diluted EPS as Adjusted Net income, divided by the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. The diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding is derived from the historical diluted weighted average shares of common stock assuming such shares were outstanding for the entirety of the period presented. We believe Adjusted Net income and Adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share, which eliminate the impact of certain expenses that we do not believe reflect our underlying business performance, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business.

Please refer to “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” located in the financial supplement in this release for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA. These measures will differ from net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this release. We are not able to provide, without unreasonable effort, guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income.

This press release also contains certain key business metrics which are used to evaluate our business and growth trends, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and assess operational efficiencies. We define Bookings for each period as the dollar value of confirmed orders as of the date of order placement. We believe Bookings, which represent a measure of gross sales and potential future Net Sales, provide useful information to investors to assess the performance of our business. We define total orders as the total number of customer orders delivered less total orders returned in a given period (excluding those repair, resize, and other orders which have no revenue). We view total orders as a key indicator of the velocity of our business and an indication of the desirability of our products to our customers. Total orders, together with AOV, is an indicator of the net sales we expect to recognize in a given period. Total orders may fluctuate based on the number of visitors to our website and showrooms, and our ability to convert these visitors to customers. We believe that total orders is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in an analysis of ongoing operating trends. We define average order value, or AOV, as net sales in a given period divided by total orders in that period. We define average selling price, or ASP, as the total retail sales price of products sold in a given period divided by the total number of product units sold during that same period. We believe that AOV and ASP are measures that are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in an analysis of ongoing operating trends. AOV varies depending on the product type and number of items per order. AOV and ASP may also fluctuate as we expand into and increase our presence in additional product types and price points, and open additional showrooms.
