KIDPIK Reports Third Quarter 2022 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 third quarter ended October 1, 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Highlights:

• Revenue, net: was $3.6 million, a year over year decrease of 34.8%
• Gross margin: was 60.3%, a year over year increase of 210 basis points from 58.2% in the third quarter of 2021
• Shipped items: were 358,000 items, compared to 559,000 shipped items in the third quarter of 2021
• Average shipment keep rate: of 68.5%, compared to 68.8% in the third quarter of 2021
• Net Loss: was $2.4 million or $0.32 loss per share
• Adjusted EBITDA: was a loss of $2.1 million compared to a loss of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2021 (see also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, below)

“Our third quarter results were, for the most part, consistent with our most recent earnings despite the increasingly challenging macro environment and the continued impact of changes in social media privacy policy on new customer acquisitions,” said Ezra Dabah, CEO, KIDPIK.

“In the face of a challenging consumer environment, we are taking actions to ensure the health of our company. We have substantially reduced purchases of new inventory and are focused on increasing sales from our current elevated inventory level which we believe will support our cash flow needs in the short term. We are focused on growing our member base through new and existing paid and unpaid channels. During the third quarter we have managed to level off and keep the number of active subscribers constant,” concluded Dabah.

Revenue by Subscription (For the 13 weeks ended October 1, 2022)

Active Subscriptions (recurring boxes): decreased by 40.6% to $2.3 million

New Subscriptions (first boxes): decreased by 35.2% to $0.6 million

Total Subscriptions: decreased by 39.6% to $2.9 million or 78.9% of total revenue

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

• Cash at the end of the third quarter totaled $0.2 million compared to $8.4 million as of January 1, 2022.
• Net cash used in operating activities for the 39 weeks ended October 1, 2022 was $7.0 million compared to $5.6 million of cash used in operating activities in the comparable period in 2021.

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 measure 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.

We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view this non-GAAP measure in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section titled “Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)”, included at the end of this release.
