LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Honest Company (NASDAQ: HNST), a digitally native, mission-driven brand focused on leading the clean lifestyle movement, today reported third quarter 2021 financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Revenue increased 6% to $82.7 million for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 when revenue increased 38% compared to the third quarter of 2019. The increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 was primarily a result of strong volume growth in our Skin and Personal Care and Diapers and Wipes product categories primarily within our Retail channel, partially offset by a decline in the Household and Wellness product category. Revenue would have grown 12%,⁽¹⁾ excluding an estimated $4.4 million in COVID-19 related revenue generated in the third quarter of 2020 primarily from sanitization and disinfecting products, which are included in our Household and Wellness product category. Our retail consumption outpaced category growth with Honest diapers increasing 24%, Honest wipes increasing 23% and Honest personal care increasing 25% resulting in higher market share across all three product categories.

Revenue by product category was as follows:

• Diapers and Wipes: Diaper and Wipes represented 65% of our revenue for the third quarter. Revenue increased 16% as compared to the third quarter of 2020 and grew 38% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Notably, our diaper and wipes businesses both grew double digits in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 driven by our new Clean, Conscious Diaper innovation and integrated marketing plans.
  
  
• Skin and Personal Care: Skin and Personal Care represented 31% of our revenue for the third quarter. Revenue increased 28% as compared to the third quarter of 2020 when Skin and Personal Care grew 85% as compared to the third quarter of 2019. This increase in revenue was driven by additional retail distribution, incremental assortment and investment in our Content, Community, Commerce strategy.
  
  
• Household and Wellness: Household and Wellness represented 4% of our revenue for the third quarter. Revenue decreased 71% as compared to the third quarter of 2020. This decline was driven by an overall reduction in consumer demand for sanitization and disinfecting products as more consumers became vaccinated against COVID-19.
  

	For the three months ended September 30,
	2021				2020				2019
(As a percentage of revenue)
Digital	47		%		56		%		55		%
Retail	53		%		44		%		45		%
Total Revenue	100		%		100		%		100		%

As a truly omnichannel business, we are well positioned to be accessible to our consumers wherever they choose to shop. Last year, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers sheltered in place and we saw a continued channel shift toward our Digital channel which increased to 56% of revenue in the third quarter of 2020, with Retail accounting for 44% of revenue. In the third quarter of 2021, consistent with the significant industry shift from Digital to Retail as more consumers have become vaccinated and have chosen to return to in-store shopping, we saw a reversal of this trend with 53% of our revenue in the Retail channel.

Retail channel revenue increased 28% to $43.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020. This is on top of the Retail channel revenue increase of 33% in third quarter of 2020 as compared to the third quarter of 2019. Retail channel revenue in the third quarter of 2021 increased as more consumers have become vaccinated and have shifted shopping behavior from Digital to Retail. We have also had success at expanding distribution and improving our merchandising programs with our retail partners especially in our Skin and Personal Care products.

Digital channel revenue decreased 11% to $39.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 when Digital channel revenue grew 43% as compared to the third quarter of 2019. The reduction in revenue in our Digital channel was primarily due to the Retail channel shift.

^{(1)  Revenue growth excluding estimated COVID-19 impact is calculated based on non-GAAP adjusted revenue for the third quarter of 2020 of $73.5 million. See the reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, to revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP in the discussion at the end of this press release.}

Gross margin decreased slightly during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to a more normalized level of trade spend and higher input costs in transportation and warehouse labor costs. Gross margin expanded 40 basis points from the first half of 2021 driven by our costovation projects and operating leverage as the business scales.

Operating expenses increased during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 driven by increased selling, general, and administrative expense due to an increase in stock-based compensation and public company costs. Marketing spend increased slightly driven by investment behind the Clean, Conscious Diaper innovation and our Skin and Personal Care campaigns. Research and development expense increased due to our investment in core product innovation.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $5.1 million, compared to net loss of $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021 was $1.2 million compared to $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2020. See the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, to the GAAP financial measure in the table at the end of this press release.

We ended the third quarter of 2021 with $90.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, an increase of $26.7 million compared to December 31, 2020.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We prepare and present our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted revenue, which are non-GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional useful information in evaluating our performance.

We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude: (1) interest and other (income) expense, net; (2) income tax provision; (3) depreciation and amortization; (4) stock-based compensation expense; (5) professional fees and expenses and executive termination expenses related to our Innovation Strategy; (6) litigation and settlement fees associated with certain non-ordinary course litigation; and (7) the IPO Bonuses, including associated payroll taxes and expenses, and third-party costs associated with our IPO. We calculate non-GAAP adjusted revenue as revenue adjusted to exclude an estimated $4.4 million of COVID-19 related increase in consumption levels of our sanitization and disinfecting products within Household and Wellness during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted revenue are financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, when taken together with our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating performance and facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of our business, results of operations or outlook. In particular, we believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is helpful to our investors as it is a measure used by management in assessing the health of our business, determining incentive compensation and evaluating our operating performance, as well as for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that the use of non-GAAP adjusted revenue is helpful to our investors and analysts in evaluating the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted revenue are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Some of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA include that (1) it does not reflect capital commitments to be paid in the future, (2) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the underlying assets may need to be replaced and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect these capital expenditures, (3) it does not consider the impact of stock-based compensation expense, (4) it does not reflect other non-operating expenses, including interest expense, (5) it does not include the IPO Bonuses, including associated payroll taxes and expenses, or third-party costs associated with the preparation of the IPO, (6) it does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us, and (7) does not include certain non-ordinary cash expenses that we do not believe are representative of our business on a steady-state basis. In addition, our use of adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted revenue may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted EBITDA or non-GAAP adjusted revenue in the same manner, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, when evaluating our performance, you should consider adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted revenue alongside other financial measures, including our net income (loss), revenue and other results stated in accordance with GAAP.
