Achieved record quarterly Revenue: Q3 2022 Revenue up 31% YoY

Significant progression in Gross Margin to 41%, up 7 percentage points YoY

Q3 2022 Net Loss of $(36.1)M vs. $(87.8)M in Q3 2021; Q3 2022 includes $5.8M of restructuring-related charges

Strong Adjusted EBITDA of $6.6M, up from $(5.6)M in Q3 2021

Company raises annual Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook

NEW YORK, Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rent the Runway, Inc. (“Rent the Runway” or "RTR") (NASDAQ: RENT), the world’s first and largest shared designer closet platform, today reported financial results for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2022.

"I'm pleased to share that we exceeded our Q3 '22 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance. Revenue for the quarter was $77.4 million, up 31% compared to Q3 '21. We’re proud of our strong Adjusted EBITDA margin this quarter, which was up significantly versus the same period last year. We are also raising guidance for the year despite a tough environment," said Jennifer Hyman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rent the Runway. "Our restructuring plan, now substantially complete, allows us to invest in our customer proposition while significantly improving cash burn. We made considerable progress in 2022 in key foundational technology and customer initiatives. Over the coming year, we look forward to providing even more value to our customers and brand partners."

CFO Scarlett O’Sullivan stated, "We believe that our strong gross margins over 40% in the past two quarters and our continued expectation of $25-$27 million in annualized fixed cost savings from our restructuring sets us up for strong Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2023, in spite of the challenging macro environment. We continue to believe that our gross margin and fixed cost leverage improvements help to ensure RTR can navigate potentially rougher macro conditions, while improving our profitability and accelerating our path to free cash flow breakeven. As a result, we are raising our annual Adjusted EBITDA margin outlook. Over the medium-term, we continue to believe we can generate 15% profitability on Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation."

Key Business and Financial Metrics

Active Subscribers is defined as the number of subscribers with an active membership as of the last day of any given period and excludes paused subscribers.

Gross Profit is defined as total revenue less fulfillment expense, revenue share and rental product depreciation. We depreciate owned apparel assets over three years and owned accessory assets over two years net of 20% and 30% salvage values, respectively, and recognize the depreciation and remaining cost of items when sold or retired on our statement of operations. Rental product depreciation expense is time-based and reflects all items we own. We use Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue, or Gross Margin to measure the continued efficiency of our business after the cost of our products and fulfillment costs are included.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the accompanying tables contain the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation margin. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation margin are useful in evaluating our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure used by management to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business prior to capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation margin is used by management to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage of our business after all product costs. These non-GAAP financial metrics are not meant to be considered as indicators of our financial performance in isolation from or as a substitute for our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis. There are limitations to the use of the non-GAAP financial metrics presented in this press release. For example, our non-GAAP financial metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial metrics differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted to exclude interest expense, rental product depreciation, other depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, write-off of liquidated assets, certain non-recurring, one-time costs (see below footnotes to reconciliation table), restructuring charges, loss on asset impairment related to restructuring, income taxes, other income and expense, gain / loss on warrant liability revaluation, net, gain / loss on debt extinguishment, net, and other gains / losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less product depreciation, calculated as a percentage of revenue.

The reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented below. We encourage reviewing the reconciliation in conjunction with the presentation of the non-GAAP financial metrics for each of the periods presented. In future periods, we may exclude similar items, may incur income and expenses similar to these excluded items, and may include other expenses, costs and non-recurring items. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin guidance and our Adjusted EBITDA after product depreciation margin target to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures, in particular, share-based compensation expense and non-recurring expenses which can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.
