Net revenue fell 18.3% year-over-year to $32.11 million, a contraction management attributed largely to planned U.S. Retail store closures, with the company trimming its store count to 28 from 57 a year ago, and the shift to a distributor model in select international markets. Loss per share came in at $2.73, while gross margin slipped 210 basis points to 44.8%, pressured by higher freight costs and a heavier mix of lower-margin distributor revenue. The net loss narrowed modestly to $21.88 million, and adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $18.64 million, but cash burn of $27.88 million in the quarter left just $39.06 million on hand. With a securities fraud investigation also circling the company, the stakes are rising for management's H2 bet on new product launches and a brand campaign fronted by Stanley Tucci. Full-year revenue guidance holds at $175 million to $195 million, with Q2 targeted at $36 million to $41 million.
Key Takeaways
- • Planned retail store closures reduced U.S. footprint from 42 to 25 stores year-over-year
- • International distributor transitions lowered international revenue
- • Gift card breakage partially offset revenue and margin declines
- • Higher international distributor mix, increased promotional activity, and higher freight costs pressured gross margin
- • Significant SG&A reductions from lower personnel, depreciation, occupancy, and professional services
- • Increased marketing investment for new brand campaign
