Did CHWY Beat Earnings? Q1 2025 Results
Chewy posted a clean beat across the board in fiscal Q1 2025, with the online pet retailer reporting adjusted diluted EPS of $0.35, ahead of the $0.34 consensus estimate by 3.15%, as revenue climbed 8.3% year over year to $3.12 billion against expectations of $3.08 billion. The clearest engine behind the quarter's strength was Autoship, Chewy's subscription-like recurring revenue program, where sales surged 14.8% to $2.56 billion and represented 82.2% of total net sales, up from 77.6% a year ago, signaling deepening customer loyalty. Active customers grew 3.8% to 20.76 million, while net sales per active customer rose 3.7% to $583, together painting a picture of both breadth and depth in Chewy's consumer relationships. Adjusted EBITDA expanded 18.3% to $192.70 million, with the margin improving 50 basis points to 6.2%, as operating income rose 19% to $76.90 million. Free cash flow came in at $48.70 million, and Chewy ended the quarter with $616.40 million in cash, reinforcing the financial footing beneath its growth narrative.
