Stitch Fix Announces Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 Financial Results
- None.
- Negative aspects include a decrease in net revenue, active clients, and net revenue per active client YoY. The company reported a net loss and negative free cash flow in Q2 fiscal 2024.
- The financial outlook for Q3 2024 shows a significant YoY decrease in net revenue and a negative adjusted EBITDA margin.
Insights
Stitch Fix's Q2 fiscal 2024 report indicates a significant year-over-year revenue decline of 18%, with a corresponding decrease in active clients. The gross margin improvement, however, suggests effective cost management, particularly in inventory health and transportation. Despite this, the company reported a net loss and negative free cash flow, which could be concerning for liquidity in the future, especially without bank debt as a buffer.
The financial outlook for Q3 and the full fiscal year 2024 shows continued revenue decline, which could signal ongoing challenges in customer retention and market competition. Investors should note the projected negative Adjusted EBITDA in Q3, indicating potential operational challenges ahead. The addition of a 53rd week in the fiscal year may complicate year-over-year comparisons and should be taken into account when evaluating performance.
The decrease in active clients and net revenue per active client (RPAC) suggests that Stitch Fix may be losing market share or facing increased competition. It's crucial to understand the customer acquisition and retention strategies the company is employing in the context of the broader retail and e-commerce landscape. The company's decision to cease UK operations and focus on continuing operations may reflect a strategic pivot to optimize resources and stabilize the core business.
Furthermore, the emphasis on reimagining client experience could be an attempt to differentiate Stitch Fix from other players in the market. However, the effectiveness of these transformation efforts will be key in determining whether they can reverse the downward trend in active clients and revenue.
Examining the macroeconomic factors, such as consumer spending patterns and discretionary income levels, could provide additional context to Stitch Fix's performance. The apparel industry is sensitive to economic cycles and any downturn could exacerbate the company's challenges. The report does not mention external economic conditions, but these factors could have a significant influence on the company's outlook.
Additionally, the report's mention of improved gross margin due to inventory health and transportation leverage might indicate that the company is successfully adapting to inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges, which have been prevalent in recent economic conditions.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stitch Fix, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFIX), the trusted online personal styling service, today announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, ended January 27, 2024.
“The original Stitch Fix vision, to create an easier and more enjoyable way for people to shop for clothing and accessories, remains both relevant and compelling,” said Matt Baer, Chief Executive Officer. “Our transformation efforts are grounded in fully realizing that vision and include both strengthening the foundation of our company and reimagining our client experience. I am encouraged by the progress we continue to make and am confident we have the right strategic priorities in place to set us up to drive sustainable, profitable growth.”
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we ceased operations of our UK business and met the accounting requirements for reporting the UK business as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the UK business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures below relate to our continuing operations.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2024 Key Metrics and Financial Highlights
- Net revenue from continuing operations of
$330.4 million , a decrease of18% year-over-year. - Active clients from continuing operations of 2,805,000, a decrease of 184,000, or
6% , quarter-over-quarter; and a decrease of 572,000, or17% , year-over-year. - Net revenue per active client (“RPAC”) from continuing operations of
$515 , a decrease of3% year-over-year. - Gross margin of
43.4% , an increase of 250 basis points year-over-year, which reflects improved inventory health and transportation leverage. - Net loss from continuing operations of
$35.0 million and diluted loss per share from continuing operations of$0.29 . - Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of
$4.4 million , which reflects continued cost management discipline. - Free cash flow from continuing operations was negative
$26.1 million in the second fiscal quarter, as expected, due to the timing of receipts related to our inventory purchases in the first fiscal quarter. - We ended the quarter with
$229.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and investments attributable to continuing operations; and no bank debt.
Financial Outlook
Our financial outlook for our continuing operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 ending April 27, 2024 is as follows:
| Q3 2024 | ||
| Net Revenue from Continuing Operations | (22)% - (19)% YoY | |
| Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations | (2)% - | |
Our fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to July 31. The fiscal year 2023 was a 52-week year and the fiscal year 2024 is a 53-week year, with the extra week occurring in the fourth quarter ending August 3, 2024.
Our financial outlook for our continuing operations for fiscal year 2024, which includes the 53rd week, is as follows:
| Fiscal Year 2024 | ||
| Net Revenue from Continuing Operations | (19)% - (17)% YoY | |
| (20)% - (18)% YoY adjusted to a 52-week period (1) | ||
| Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations | ||
(1) Full fiscal year 2024 net revenue from continuing operations has been adjusted to remove the impact of the 53rd week for year-over-year comparative purposes.
Stitch Fix has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations outlook to GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations due to the uncertainty and potential variability of restructuring and other one-time costs related to continuing operations, net other income (expense), provision for income taxes, and stock-based compensation expense, which are reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations. Because Stitch Fix cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlook to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) from continuing operations. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between continuing operations of companies. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations (“Free Cash Flow”) is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash from continuing operations we have available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are several limitations related to the use of our non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations include:
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income and net other (income) expense as these items are not components of our core business;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our provision for income taxes, which may increase or decrease cash available to us;
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes the recurring, non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-cash expense of stock-based compensation, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, an important part of how we attract and retain our employees and a significant recurring expense in our business;
- Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs incurred related to discrete restructuring plans and other one-time costs attributable to our continuing operations that are fundamentally different in strategic nature and frequency from ongoing initiatives. We believe exclusion of these items facilitates a more consistent comparison of operating performance over time, however these costs do include cash outflows; and
- Free Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect our future contractual commitments.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding interest income, net other (income) expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and restructuring and other one-time costs related to our continuing operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

We define an active client as a client who checked out a Fix or was shipped an item via Freestyle in the preceding 52 weeks, measured as of the last day of that period. A client checks out a Fix when she indicates what items she is keeping through our mobile application or on our website. We consider each Women’s, Men’s, or Kids account as a client, even if they share the same household.
