KIDPIK Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kidpik Corp. (NASDAQ: PIK) (“KIDPIK” or the “Company”), an online clothing subscription-based e-commerce company, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2022.

First Quarter Highlights:

• Revenue, net: was $4.3 million, a year over year decrease of 18.7%
• Gross margin: was 59.9%, compared with 60.9% in the first quarter of 2021
• Shipped items: were 370,985 items, compared to 543,243 shipped items in the first quarter of 2021
• Average shipment keep rate: increased to 70.4%, compared to 67.7% in the first quarter of 2021
• Net Loss: was $1.8 million or $0.24 per share
• Adjusted EBITDA: was a loss of $1.5 million

“Lower customer acquisition rates across the traditional social advertising channels persisted throughout the industry in the first quarter, negatively impacting our net sales and results. This was partially offset by improvement in our KIDPIK shop online website sales,” commented Ezra Dabah, CEO of KIDPIK. “We continue to see consistent gross margins of approximately 60%, and our ‘keep rate’ again surpassed 70% for the quarter. We are taking actions to increase conversions and optimize our acquisitions costs.”

“The online shopping experience our platform provides remains a valued service for families, and we continue to work hard to delight our members. We recently introduced our Summer 2022 subscription box offerings, which now give customers the option to receive a box that contains either 8 or 12 items, as opposed to just 8 items that we’ve traditionally offered. Given we are seeing about half of new subscribers opt for the 12-piece box, this will positively impact our future sales. We continue to pursue additional channels to attract new members, including a third-party software we’ve engaged that will allow us to sell the KIDPIK brand on other top retailer’s e-commerce platforms. We remain dedicated to providing our members with the best possible experience when it comes to outfitting their kids, and to delivering value for our stockholders,” concluded Mr. Dabah.

Revenue by Subscription (For first quarter 2022)

Active Subscriptions (recurring boxes): decreased 16.0% to $3.1 million

New Subscriptions (first boxes): decreased 59.2% to 0.35 million

Total Subscriptions: decreased 24.0% to $3.5 million or 81.0% of total revenue

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 is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between companies. This non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-routine items that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
• Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss excluding interest income, other (income) expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and equity-based compensation expense. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:
