SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (the "Company"), the global leading healthcare apparel brand dedicated to improving the lives of healthcare professionals, today released its first quarter 2025 financial results and published a financial highlights presentation on its investor relations website at ir.wearfigs.com/financials/quarterly-results/.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Net revenues were $124.9 million, an increase of 4.7% year over year, primarily due to an increase in orders from existing customers and higher average order value ("AOV").
- Scrubwear net revenues were $99.6 million, an increase of 4.9% year over year.
- Non-scrubwear net revenues were $25.3 million, an increase of 3.8% year over year.
- U.S. net revenues were $106.0 million, an increase of 2.9% year over year.
- International net revenues were $18.9 million, an increase of 16.4% year over year.
Gross margin was 67.6%, a decrease of 130 basis points year over year, primarily due to product mix shift and higher freight expense, partially offset by a lower mix of promotional sales.
Operating expenses were $84.7 million, an increase of 3.6% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses decreased to 67.8% from 68.5% in the same period last year, primarily due to lower stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by higher operational costs at our new fulfillment center, higher shipping costs, and higher depreciation.
Net income (loss) was $(0.1) million, or ($0.00) in diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 in diluted earnings per share, in the same period last year.
Net income (loss) margin⁽¹⁾ was (0.1)%, as compared to 1.2% in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was $9.0 million, a decrease of $4.0 million year over year.
Adjusted EBITDA margin⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ was 7.2%, as compared to 10.9% in the same period last year.

Key Operating Metrics

Active customers⁽³⁾ as of March 31, 2025 increased 3.8% year over year to 2.7 million.
Net revenues per active customer⁽³⁾ was $208, a decrease of 1.0% year over year.
AOV⁽³⁾ was $119, an increase of 2.6% year over year primarily driven by a higher rate of full-priced sales and higher average unit retail due to product mix.

"First quarter results were ahead of expectations, supported by customer growth, strong full-priced selling, record AOV, and ultimately, a return to growth in the U.S.," said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. "These positive signs bolster our conviction that the industry is on the path to normalization and our actions are resonating. At the same time, we are also operating in a period of growing economic uncertainty, where we believe we have an opportunity to demonstrate our category leadership, build upon our competitive advantages, and leverage our incredibly strong balance sheet. We are maintaining the clear focus that we outlined at the beginning of the year – our unwavering efforts to serve our community and our intent to accelerate investment to better support our opportunity. We believe great brands uniquely harness adversity, and we will continue to boldly lead and define this industry going forward."

Full Year 2025 Financial Outlook

Net Revenues growth vs. 2024	down low-single-digits

Adjusted EBITDA Margin⁽¹⁾⁽⁴⁾	7.5% to 8.5%

Sarah Oughtred, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "While 2025 started on a strong note, changes in U.S. trade policies have added greater variability to our planning, particularly in the second half of the year. As we continue to evaluate a range of scenarios, our updated 2025 outlook reflects the projected impact of the current tariff structure, excluding the currently-paused reciprocal tariffs. We are determined to remain diligent and nimble in navigating this challenging environment, prudently planning our business while continuing our steadfast focus of serving those who serve others."

⁽¹⁾ "Net income (loss) margin" and "adjusted EBITDA margin" are calculated by dividing net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA by net revenues, respectively.

⁽²⁾ "Adjusted EBITDA," "adjusted EBITDA margin" and "free cash flow" are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the sections titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics" and "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" below for more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

⁽³⁾ "Active customers," "net revenues per active customer" and "average order value" are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding the Company’s performance. Please see the sections titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics" and "Key Operating Metrics" below for information regarding how the Company calculates its key operational and business metrics and for comparisons of active customers, net revenues per active customer and average order value to the prior year period.

⁽⁴⁾ The Company has not provided a quantitative reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to a GAAP net income margin outlook because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to project certain reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future stock-based compensation expense, income taxes, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, and transaction costs. These items are inherently variable and uncertain and depend on various factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control or ability to predict. For more information regarding the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures, please see the section titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics

In addition to the GAAP financial measures set forth in this press release, the Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. The Company uses "net income (loss), as adjusted," "adjusted EBITDA" and "adjusted EBITDA margin" to provide useful supplemental measures that assist in evaluating its ability to generate earnings, provide consistency and comparability with its past financial performance and facilitate period-to-period comparisons of its core operating results as well as the results of its peer companies. The Company uses "free cash flow" as a useful supplemental measure of liquidity and as an additional basis for assessing its ability to generate cash. The Company calculates "adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude: other income (loss), net; gain/loss on disposal of assets; provision for income taxes; depreciation and amortization expense; stock-based compensation and related expense; transaction costs; and expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes. The Company calculates "adjusted EBITDA margin" by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net revenues. The Company calculates "free cash flow" as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, including purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included below under the heading "Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures."

The Company has also included herein "active customers," "net revenues per active customer" and "average order value," which are key operational and business metrics that are important to understanding Company performance. The Company believes the number of active customers is an important indicator of growth as it reflects the reach of the Company’s digital platform, brand awareness and overall value proposition. The Company defines an active customer as a unique customer account that has made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. In any particular period, the Company determines the number of active customers by counting the total number of customers who have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period, measured from the last date of such period. The Company believes measuring net revenues per active customer is important to understanding engagement and retention of customers, and as such, the value proposition for its customer base. The Company defines net revenues per active customer as the sum of total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period active customers. The Company defines average order value as the sum of the total net revenues in a given period divided by the total orders placed in that period. Total orders are the summation of all completed individual purchase transactions in a given period. The Company believes its relatively high average order value demonstrates the premium nature of its products. As the Company expands into and increases its presence in additional product categories, price points and international markets, average order value may fluctuate.

Active customers as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, net revenues per active customer as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and average order value for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are presented below under the heading "Key Operating Metrics."
