FIGS FIGS Inc

Net Revenues Growth of 25.2% YoY, Net Income of $4.0 million, Net Income Margin of 3.1% and Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 16.4%

FIGS, Inc. (NYSE: FIGS) (the “Company”), the direct-to-consumer healthcare apparel and lifestyle brand, today released its third quarter 2022 financial results and published a financial highlights presentation on its investor relations website at ir.wearfigs.com/financials/quarterly-results/.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

• Net revenues were $128.6 million, an increase of 25.2% year over year, driven by an increase in orders from existing and new customers and, to a lesser extent, an increase in AOV.
• Gross margin was 70.6%, a decrease of 210 basis points year over year, primarily due to an increase in freight-in costs, related to increased utilization of more expensive air freight and elevated ocean freight costs, and to a lesser extent, a higher mix of promotional sales and product mix shift.
• Operating expenses were $79.6 million, an increase of 24.1% year over year. As a percentage of net revenues, operating expenses decreased to 61.9% from 62.5% in the prior year period due to lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher selling expenses related to fulfillment costs.
• Net income was $4.0 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.02.
• Net income margin(1) was 3.1%, as compared to 6.8% in the same period last year.
• Net income, as adjusted(2) was $4.1 million and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted(1) was $0.02.
• Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $21.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million year over year.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin(1)(2) was 16.4%, as compared to 21.6% in the same period last year.

Key Operating Metrics

• Active customers(3) as of September 30, 2022 increased 23.6% to 2.2 million.
• Net revenues per active customer(3) was $227, an increase of 3.7% year over year.
• Average Order Value (“AOV”)(3) was $112, an increase of 9.8% year over year primarily driven by higher units per transaction as well as an increase in average unit retail.

“Our third quarter performance reflects strength in both our financial results and a number of our key operating metrics,” said Trina Spear, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “With frequency trends continuing to slow largely due to sustained macroeconomic pressures, we are adjusting our plans to focus even more on product innovation and customer engagement strategies, while managing cost pressures. Importantly, our brand remains strong and we continue to gain market share as we strive to become the largest provider of scrubs and lifestyle apparel to the healthcare community.”

Financial Outlook

For Full-Year 2022, the Company now expects:

• Net revenues of approximately $495 million, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 18%.
• Adjusted EBITDA margin(4) of approximately 16%.

Daniella Turenshine, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We have a strong balance sheet and are financially well positioned to navigate this environment,” said Daniella Turenshine, Chief Financial Officer. “By right-sizing inventory and controlling costs while continuing to make strategic investments in the long-term growth of our business, we expect to further advance our leadership position in the market.”

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

(2) “Net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted,” “adjusted EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA margin” 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. For information regarding how the Company calculates its key operational and business metrics, please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Operating Metrics.”

(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 has also included “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 calculates “active customers” as unique customer accounts that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period. The Company calculates “net revenues per active customer” as the sum of the total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period “active customers.” The Company calculates “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 uses “net income, as adjusted,” “diluted earnings per share, 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 calculates “net income, as adjusted,” as net income adjusted to exclude transaction costs, expenses related to non-ordinary course disputes, stock-based compensation, including expense related to award modifications, accelerated performance awards and ambassador grants in connection with its initial public offering, and expense resulting from the retirement of the Company's previous CFO, and the income tax impact of these adjustments. The Company calculates “diluted earnings per share, as adjusted” as net income, as adjusted divided by diluted shares outstanding. The Company calculates “adjusted EBITDA” as net income 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.

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.”
