We collect and maintain significant amounts of personal information and other data relating to our clients and employees. Numerous laws, rules, and regulations in the United States, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”) and California Privacy Rights Acts of 2020 (“CPRA”), govern privacy and the collection, use, and protection of personal information. These laws, rules, and regulations evolve frequently and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may be interpreted to conflict with our practices. Any significant failure or perceived failure by us or any third parties with which we do business to comply with these laws, rules, and regulations, or with other obligations to which we may be or become subject, would likely result in actions against us by governmental entities, private claims and litigation, fines, penalties, or other liabilities.

On March 17, 2023, June 6, 2023, May 14, 2024, July 22, 2025, and November 12, 2025, derivative actions were filed by certain of our stockholders against certain of our current and former directors and officers based on similar factual allegations underlying thesecuritiesSecuritieslitigationClass Action. In connection with the Securities Class Action, the parties entered into a stipulation andotheragreementmattersofdescribedsettlementelsewhere(theherein.“Stipulation”) on February 6, 2026 wherein we agree to pay, or cause our insurance carriers to pay, $32.0 million, in exchange for the release and dismissal with prejudice of all claims in the Securities Class Action. The Stipulation and settlement remain subject to final approval by the court. We have in the past and may in the future become involved in other private actions, collective actions, investigations, and various other legal proceedings by clients, employees, suppliers, competitors, government agencies, stockholders, or others. The results of any such litigation, investigations, and other legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and expensive. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage our reputation, require significant amounts of management time, and divert significant resources. If any of these legal proceedings were to be determined adversely to us, or we were to enter into a settlement arrangement, we could be exposed to monetary damages or limits on our ability to operate our business, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Our business is subject to numerous risks. The following summary highlights some of the risks you should consider with respect to our business and prospects. This summary is not complete and the risks summarized below are not the only risks we face. You should review and consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described in more detail in the “Risk Factors” below, which includes a more complete discussion of the risks summarized here.
•Our business depends on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and any failure of, or issues arising from, these technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
•We may not be able to return to or maintain revenue growth and we may not be profitable in the future.
•We are subject to payment-related risks.
•We rely on consumer discretionary spending and may be adversely affected by economic downturnsdownturns, inflation, economic uncertainty, and other macroeconomic conditions or trends.
•Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we are or may be involved have in the past and could in the future expose us to monetary damages or limit our ability to operate our business.
•Our use of personal information, other personal data, and sensitive information subjects us to numerous and evolving privacy and security laws and other obligations (such as cybersecurity and data protection in contracts), and our compliance with or failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.
•We may be accused of infringing intellectual property rights of third parties.
•The market price of our Class A common stock may continue to be volatile or may decline steeply or suddenly regardless of our operating performance and we may not be able to meet investor or analyst expectations. You may lose all or part of your investment.
•We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves.
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider and read carefully all of the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”), and in our other public filings. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. The occurrence of any of the following risks or additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations. In such case, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This Annual Report also contains forward-looking statements and estimates that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of specific factors, including the risks and uncertainties described below.
If our existing clients no longer find our service and merchandise appealing or appropriately priced, they may make fewer purchases or may stop using Stitch Fix altogether. Even if our existing clients continue to find our service and merchandise appealing, they may decide to receive fewer Fixes or purchase fewer items from their Fixes or through Freestyle as their demand for new apparel declines, due to macroeconomic conditions, or for other reasons. A high proportion of our revenue comes from repeat purchases by existing clients, especially those existing clients who are highly engaged and purchase a significant amount of merchandise from us. If clients who receive Fixes most frequently or purchase a significant amount of merchandise from us make fewer or lower priced purchases or stop using our service altogether, our financial results will be negatively affected. For instance, as of the end of fiscal 2023,year ended July 29, 2023 (“fiscal 2024,2023”) and fiscaleach 2025,reporting period thereafter, our number of active clients decreased compared to the prior year period due to our inability to attract new clients and retain existing clients. This negatively affected our revenue for these periods and is expected to continue to negatively affect our revenue.
We seek to attract high-quality clients who will remain clients for the long term, but our efforts may not be successful or produce the results we anticipate. For example, if we are not able to engage new clients effectively so they continue receiving Fixes after their first few tries, our number of active clients will continue to suffer. Our inability to attract and keep high-quality clients engaged, a continued year over year decrease in our number of active clients, or a decrease in client spending has in the past negatively affected and couldwe expect will continue to negatively affect our operating results.
Our success depends on our ability to attract new clients in a cost-effective manner. To expand our client base, we must appeal to and acquire clients who have historically used other means to purchase apparel, shoes, and accessories, such as traditional brick-and-mortar retailers or other online retailers. We currently utilize both digital and offline channels to attract new visitors to our website or mobile app and convert them into clients. At any given time, ourOur marketing andcosts advertisingare effortslargely maycomposed includeof advertising, client referrals, social media marketing, keyword search campaigns, affiliate programs, partnerships, campaigns with celebrities and influencers,public displayrelations advertising, television, radio, video, content, direct mail, email, mobile “push” communications, SMS, and search engine optimization.expenses. Our marketing expenses have varied from period to period, and we expect this trend to continue as we evolve our marketing strategies and employ a disciplined approach to marketing spend.strategies. We cannot be certain that increases in marketing spend will yield more clients, achieve meaningful payback on our investments, or be cost effective. We may also adjust our marketing strategy or decrease spend within a period if we are not achieving the intended results or if we believe the return-on-investment is not favorable, which may result in faster or slower rates of active client growth in any given period.
Furthermore, the introduction of new offerings, features, or ways for clients to engage with us has affected and may in the future affect client behavior with respect to our existing offerings in ways that are difficult to predict, including affecting client acquisition, conversion, retention, or spending patterns across our other offerings. If the performance of a new offering, including its effect on other offerings, differs from our expectations, our business, financial

Our business depends on artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, and any failure of, or issues arising from, these technologies could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We increasingly rely on, develop, and use AI tools, machine learning, and other new technologies in our business, including through our third-party vendors, which may subject us to significant competitive, legal, regulatory and other risks, and there can be no assurance that our use of such tools or technologies will enhance our business operations or result in a benefit to us. Our competitors may outpace us and be more successful in their use of artificial intelligence tools and other new technologies, including by developing an enhanced shopping experience, improving customer engagement, or improving their operations with the assistance of such tools and technologies. Our efforts to utilize these technological advancements may not be successful, may result in substantial integration and maintenance costs, and may expose us to additional risks. There could be adverse impacts from inaccurate, deficient, biased or otherwise flawed algorithms, training or data sets. Our use of such tools or technologies could also result in the loss of confidential information or intellectual property or an inability to claim or enforce intellectual property rights, as well as subject us to risks related to intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, data privacy, cybersecurity and the unauthorized use of Company information. The jurisdictions in which we conduct business have and may adopt laws and regulations related to artificial intelligence that could cause us to incur greater compliance costs, limit our use of artificial intelligence tools, or subject us to legal liabilities. Moreover, ethical concerns associated with artificial intelligence could lead to brand damage, competitive disadvantages, or legal repercussions. Any problems with our implementation or use of artificial intelligence tools or other technological advancements could adversely impact our business or results of our operations.

Recent trade policies and uncertainty related thereto, including with respect to tariffs and other restrictions, particularly with respect to China in addition to other countries from which we source our merchandise and raw materials, have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which has and may continue to adversely impact our business and operations. For example, since May 2025, the U.S. government has imposed significant incremental tariffs on a broad range of goods imported from China, including the apparel we source. Certain of these tariffs arehave been subject to successful legal challenge, but it remains unclear whether and otherto challenges,whom those tariffs may be refunded, and the outcomeU.S. ofgovernment whichhas announced its intention to impose new or similar tariffs under alternative statutory mechanisms. This could further change the tariff rate, including with respect to China. Tariffs and international trade arrangements will continue to change, potentially without warning and to an extent or duration that is difficult to predict. Changing tariff rates and shifting trade policies have created significant uncertainty for vendors, consumers, and us. If tariffs from countries from which we source products are sustained at heightened levels, it will further increase our merchandise costs, may result in increased prices for our clients, and may negatively impact our margins and consumer demand for our products and services, any of which could harm our competitive position or otherwise negatively impact our operating results. Moreover, tariff and other trade-related cost pressures and supply chain disruptions may lead to reputational harm if we are unable to deliver our products or services on expected timelines. We may not be able to forecast such impacts accurately. Further, our efforts to mitigate the impacts of tariffs, which include diversifying the countries of origin for our inventory, are time-consuming and costly, and may not be effective.

Additionally, the fabrics used by our vendors are made of raw materials including, but not limited to, petroleum-based products, linen, and cotton. Significant price increases or fluctuations, trade policies, including tariffs and trade restrictions, geopolitical conflict, currency volatility or fluctuation, shortages, increases in shipping or freight costs, or shipping delays of petroleum, cotton, linen, or other raw materials have in the past and could continue to significantly increase our cost of goods sold or affect our operating results. We have also experienced increased costs of goods due to increases in the price of raw materials, inflationary pressures, rising fuel and other energy costs, and currency volatility. Any additional price increases will affect our operating results.
Other factors such as natural disasters have in the past increased raw material costs, impacted pricing with certain of our vendors, and caused shipping delays for certain of our merchandise. Also, the U.S. government’s ban on cotton imported from the Xinjiang region of China, the source of a large portion of the world’s cotton supply, has and may further impact prices and the availability of cotton for our merchandise. Additionally, our products and materials (including potentially non-cotton materials) could be held for inspection by the United States Customs Border Protection (the “U.S. CBP”),Protection, which would cause delays and unexpectedly affect our inventory levels. In addition, the labor costs to produce our products have and may continue to fluctuate. In the event of a significant disruption in the supply of fabrics or raw materials used in the manufacture of the merchandise we offer, our vendors might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price. Any delays, interruption, damage to, or increased costs in raw materials or the manufacture of the merchandise we offer could result in higher prices to acquire the merchandise, or non-delivery of merchandise altogether, and could adversely affect our operating results.
Promoting awareness of our service is important to our ability to grow our business, drive client engagement, and attract new clients. At any given time, our marketing and advertising efforts may include, client referrals, social

Our marketing costs are largely composed of advertising, television,client radio, video, content, direct mail, email, mobile “push” communications, SMS,referrals, and searchpublic enginerelations optimization.expenses, though our marketing expenses have varied from period to period and we expect marketing expenses to increase in the near term. External factors beyond our control, including general economic conditions and decreased discretionary consumer spending, have impacted and may in the future impact the success of our marketing initiatives or how much we decide to spend on marketing in a given period. We adjust our marketing activity from period to period or within a period as we launch new initiatives or offerings, run tests, or make decisions on marketing investments in response to anticipated rates of return, such as when we identify favorable cost per acquisition trends. We have seen increased costs in certain digital marketing channels and our marketing initiatives may become increasingly expensive; generating a meaningful return on those initiatives may be difficult. Even if we successfully increase revenue as a result of our paid marketing efforts, it may not offset the additional marketing expenses we incur.
STITCH FIX, INC. | 2026 FORM 10-K | 11
To ensure timely delivery of merchandise, we generally enter into purchase contracts well in advance of a particular season and often before apparel trends are confirmed by client purchases. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to suboptimal selection and timing of merchandise purchases. We also adjust our inventory levels as needed to support initiatives or enhancements to our Fix experience, including sending more items per Fix and increasing newness in our assortment. We rely on our merchandising team to order styles and products that our clients will purchase and we rely on our data science to recommend which styles to re-buy and the depth of those re-buy purchases. We have not always predicted demand and clients’ preferences with accuracy, which has negatively impacted revenue or resulted in significant write-offs when we have sub-optimal inventory assortment. For instance, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we experienced weaker consumer demand, whichdemand caused us to have higher inventory levels and increased inventory reserves that affected our financial results. Similar impacts may occur in future periods if our inventory investments exceed consumer demand.
Our inventory levels also may be affected by product launch delays, consumer demand fluctuations due to macroeconomic factors, uncertainty or otherwise, disruptions in our systems due to upgrades, launches or otherwise, freight delays, vendor relationships, capacity constraints, and our inability to predict demand with respect to categories or products. For example, freight delays caused by lockdowns due to COVID-19, port closures, port

For example, freight delays, port closures, port congestion, and shipping container and ship shortages have caused us to experience delays in receiving inventory.inventory in the past. Freight delays caused by these issues or new issues, including labor disruptions or shortages, or surges in cargo shipments in response to changing trade policy, may affect us in future quarters. Also, in the past we have experienced challenges managing our inventory within the fulfillment centers given storage capacity constraints and challenges hiring fulfillment center employees. Any future such challenges could affect the amount and types of inventory we have available to offer to clients, and therefore negatively affect our operating results.
We must continue to implement our operational plans and strategies, and improve our infrastructure of people and technology. Additionally, we expect to continue to introduce new offerings, business strategies and initiatives, and improve on existing offerings. We have worked to strengthen the foundation of our business and to reimagine the client experience, which includes embedding retail best practices across the enterprise, identifying operational efficiencies, and ensuring we have the right organizational structure in place to enable our future success. We continue to rethink how our clients engage with Stitch Fix, which includes introducing more flexibility into our service through new features. This continued transformation requires investments of time and resources and has included and will continue to include changes in our website, branding, mobile apps, information technology systems, and processes. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully implement all aspects of our strategic plans in the expected timeframe or at all, or that we will achieve or sustain the expected financial and operational results of our strategic plans. Additionally, if our reimagined client experience, new offerings, or rebranding does not resonate with current or future clients, it could cause us to lose clients and may negatively impact our financial results. If we do not realize the expected benefits of certain transformation initiatives or experience additional unexpected costs in connection with our strategic plans, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow could be negatively impacted.
STITCH FIX, INC. | 2026 FORM 10-K | 12
Additionally, as we continue to implement these changes and introduce future business strategies and initiatives, our operations, vendor base, fulfillment centers, information technology systems, or internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our changing operations. Any change or upgrade to our systems to support the increasing complexity of our business involves risk and we have in the past experienced and may in the future experience problems or delays as we make upgrades or changes to our systems. For example, in August 2026, we made an unintended change to our post-checkout offer flow that limited the number of clients eligible to request another Fix, which negatively impacted the number of Fixes we expected to ship during the quarter. Additionally, if the impact of these initiatives is more or less successful than we expected, it could affect our inventory management, resulting in inventory shortages or excess inventory in the case of significant underperformance. If we are unable to manage the transformation and potential growth of our organization effectively or if our strategies do not produce the anticipated results, or cause unanticipated issues, our business, financial condition, and operating results may be adversely affected.
We currently receive and distribute merchandise at three fulfillment centers. Prior to the closures of our Dallas, Texas and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania fulfillment centers,centers in fiscal 2024, we operated five fulfillment centers in the United States. While we believe three fulfillment centers is the appropriate number to provide the greatest breadth and depth of inventory to our clients and Stylists and will allow us to service the same number of existing clients with lower inventory levels, this decreased fulfillment system could cause operational constraints or decreased capacity that could affect our client experience or revenue. Additionally, we may experience operational issues as we continue to transition to our new fulfillment center model which could affect our client experience and financial results.
We have experienced difficulty hiring and retaining employees in our fulfillment centers, which in the past we attributed to COVID-19 concerns and to increased competition and rising wages for eCommerce fulfillment center workers. To address this, we increased wages in our fulfillment centers and implemented other policies in order to be more competitive in hiring and retaining employees. These wage increases impacted our operating results. Hiring and retention of employees in our warehouses is a continuing challenge as demand for eCommerce fulfillment center workers remains high. We may have to increase wages for our fulfillment center employees or spend money on additional employee recruiting or retention programs, which would impact our operating results. In the past, these hiring difficulties caused capacity constraints in our fulfillment centers and could in the future cause capacity constraints. Capacity constraints in our fulfillment centers could affect the amount and types of inventory we have available to offer to clients, which will affect our results of operations. Any capacity constraints due to hiring difficulties may be exacerbated due to the fact that we have fewer fulfillment centers than we once did. If we are unable to adequately staff our fulfillment centers to meet demand, or if the cost of such staffing is higher than projected due to competition, mandated wage increases, regulatory changes, or other factors, our operating results will be further harmed.

If we are not able to negotiate acceptable pricing and other terms with our client-facing shipping vendors or our freight vendors, or our shipping or freight vendors experience performance problems or other difficulties, it could negatively impact our operating results and our clients’ experience. In addition, our ability to receive inbound inventory efficiently, ship merchandise to clients, and receive returned merchandise from clients may be negatively affected by inclement weather, fire, flood, power loss, earthquakes, public health crises, labor disputes, shortages, or strikes, acts of war or terrorism, periods of high eCommerce volume, such as holiday seasons, port congestion, and similar factors. Due to our business model and the fact that we recognize revenue from Fixes when a client checks out items, rather than when Fixes are shipped, our results have in the past been, and may in the future be, impacted depending on the timing of shipping dates of Fixes. In addition, we may be impacted by shipping delays to a greater extent than our competitors. Additionally, delays in shipping may cause an auto-ship client’s subsequent Fixes to be scheduled for a later date, as their next Fix is not scheduled until their checkout is complete. In the second quarter of fiscal year ended July 31, 2021, we experienced carrier and client shipping delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased strain on our shipping partners during the holiday season. These delays affected our ability to recognize revenue within the quarter, and we may in the future experience these delays and the resulting impact to our financial results, including potentially during future holiday seasons. In the past, strikes at major international shipping ports have impacted our supply of inventory from our vendors and severe weather events have resulted in long delivery delays and Fix cancellations. Additionally, some of our merchandise may be damaged or lost during transit with our shipping vendors. If a greater portion of our merchandise is not delivered in a timely fashion or is damaged or lost during transit, it could adversely affect our operating results or could cause our clients to become dissatisfied and cease using our services, which would adversely affect our business.
We may not be able to return to and maintain revenue growth and we may not be profitable in the future.
Our past revenue growth and profitability should not be considered indicative of our future performance. Our revenue increased by 6.4% in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025, decreased by 5.3% in fiscal 2025 compared to fiscal 2024, and decreased by 16.0% in fiscal 2024 compared to fiscal 2023, and decreased by 21.1% in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.2023. Although our net revenue increased 0.7% year-over-year in Q3fiscal of2026 compared to fiscal 2025, there is no guarantee that we will return to full-year revenue growth or maintain such growth. Our revenue may decline in future periods due to a number of factors, which may include our inability to attract and retain clients, general economic conditions, including a recession or decreased discretionary consumer spending, decreases in marketing spend, a decreased demand for our merchandise and service, increased competition, decreases in the growth rate of our overall market, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities.opportunities, the timing of shipping dates of Fixes, or other factors impacting our results.
We announced a restructuring plan in June 2022, which we expanded throughout fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2025, intended to reduce our future fixed and variable operating costs. While we have realized some cost savings from the restructuring plan, our efforts may not adequately reduce future expenses or impact our results as we anticipate. Moreover, our expenses may increase, particularly as we develop and introduce new merchandise offerings, including the re-imagination of our client experience, need to hire and retain personnel, or increase investment in our marketing initiatives. We may not always pursue short-term profits but are often focused on long-term growth, which may impact our short-term financial results. If our revenue does not increase to offset increases in our operating expenses, we may not be profitable in future periods.
We must continue to implement our operational plans and strategies, and improve our infrastructure of people and technology. Additionally, we expect to continue to introduce new offerings, business strategies and initiatives, and improve on existing offerings. We are in the midst of a transformation to strengthen the foundation of our business and to reimagine the client experience. This includes embedding retail best practices across the enterprise, identifying operational efficiencies, and ensuring we have the right organizational structure in place to enable our future success. We are also taking a holistic approach to rethink how our clients engage with Stitch Fix, which includes introducing more flexibility into our service through new features. This transformation requires investments of time and resources and has included and will continue to include changes in our website, branding, mobile apps, information technology systems, and processes. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully implement all aspects of our transformation plan in the expected timeframe or at all, or that we will achieve or sustain the expected financial and operational results of our transformation plan. Additionally, if our reimagined client experience, new offerings, or rebranding does not resonate with current or future clients, it could cause us to lose clients and may negatively impact our financial results. If we do not realize the expected benefits of these transformation initiatives or experience additional unexpected costs in connection with the transformation, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flow could be negatively impacted.

Additionally, as we continue to implement these changes and introduce future business strategies and initiatives, our operations, vendor base, fulfillment centers, information technology systems, or internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to support our changing operations. Any change or upgrade to our systems to support the increasing complexity of our business involves risk and we may experience problems or delays as we make upgrades or changes to our systems. For example, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we experienced technical issues following a systems upgrade to our procure-to-pay processes which affected the transmission, receipt, and reconciliation of purchase orders and payments with many of our apparel and accessory vendors. Additionally, if the impact of these initiatives is more or less successful than we expected, it could affect our inventory management, resulting in inventory shortages or excess inventory in the case of significant underperformance. If we are unable to manage the transformation and potential growth of our organization effectively or if our strategies do not produce the anticipated results, or cause unanticipated issues, our business, financial condition, and operating results may be adversely affected.
We do not have long-term employment or non-competition agreements with any of our personnel.

We have had senior employees leave Stitch Fix, including the departure of our Chief Merchandising Officer and Chief Accounting Officer in 2024, and cannot necessarily anticipate when this will happen in the future and whether we will be able to promptly replace such employees. Additionally, in January 2023, the Company and Elizabeth Spaulding, the Company’s then-current Chief Executive Officer, agreed that she would step down from her employment with the Company. The Board of Directors appointed Katrina Lake, the Company’s Founder and Executive Chairperson of the Board of Directors, as interim Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Lake served in that position until Matt Baer joined as Chief Executive Officer in June 2023. Additional changes in our management team and senior14 leadership could cause retention and morale concerns among current employees, as well as operational risks.

Building our brand will depend largely on our ability to continue to provide our clients with an engaging and personalized client experience, including valued personal styling services, high-quality and appealing merchandise, and appropriate price points, which we may not do successfully. Client complaints or negative publicity about our styling services, merchandise, delivery times, or client support, especially on social media platforms, could harm our reputation and diminish client use of our services, the trust that our clients place in Stitch Fix, and vendor confidence in us.
As of August 2,1, 2025,2026, approximately 1,7101,575 of our employees were Stylists. In January 2024, we moved to a part-time only Stylist model, and all of our Stylists now work on a part-time basis and are paid hourly. The Stylists track and report the time they spend working for us. These employees are classified as nonexempt under federal and state law. If we fail to effectively manage our Stylists, including by ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of their hours worked and proper processing of their hourly wages, then we may face claims alleging violations of wage and hour employment laws, including, without limitation, claims of back wages, unpaid overtime pay, and missed meal and rest periods. Any such employee litigation could be attempted on a class or representative basis, or other form of multi-plaintiff litigation. For example, in August 2020, a representative action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act was filed against us alleging various violations of California’s wage and hour laws relating to our current and former non-exempt Stylist employees. While we were able to settle this matter, and we no longer employ Stylists in California, future litigation concerning our styling employees could be expensive and time-consuming regardless of whether the claims against us are valid or whether we are ultimately determined to be liable, and could divert management’s attention from our business. We could also be adversely affected by negative publicity, litigation costs resulting from the defense of these claims, and the diversion of time and resources from our operations.

Our business and operating results are subject to national and global economic conditions and their impact on consumer discretionary spending. Some of the factors that may negatively influence consumer spending include high levels of unemployment; higher consumer debt levels; reductions in net worth and declines in asset values; macroeconomic uncertainty; increased inflationary pressures; recessionary concerns; home foreclosures and reductions in home values; fluctuating interest rates, and credit availability; rising fuel and other energy costs; rising commodity prices; and general uncertainty regarding the overall future political and economic environment. We have experienced many of these factors, including current inflationary pressures, which may be increasing due to tariffs on imports into the U.S., and have experienced negative impacts on client demand and discretionary spending as a result. Consumer purchases of discretionary items, including the merchandise that we offer, generally decline during recessionary periods or periods of economic uncertainty, when disposable income is reduced or when there is a reduction in consumer confidence.confidence, and such reduced discretionary spending has had and we expect will continue to have adverse impact on our business. Furthermore, economic conditions in certain regions may also be affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes, and wildfires; public health crises; and other major unforeseen events.

Trade disputes, trade restrictions, tariffstariffs, military conflicts and other political tensions between the U.S. and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns, which may negatively impact customer demand for our products or services, delay purchases, limit expansion opportunities with customers, limit our access to capital, or otherwise negatively impact our business and operations. Ongoing tariff, trade restrictions and macroeconomic uncertainty has and may continue to contribute to volatility in our stock price.

Many of our current competitors have, and potential competitors may have, longer operating histories; larger fulfillment infrastructures; greater technical capabilities; faster shipping times; lower-cost shipping; larger databases; more purchasing power; higher profiles; greater financial, marketing, institutional, and other resources; and larger customer bases than we do. Mergers and acquisitions by these companies may lead to even larger competitors with more resources. These factors may allow our competitors to derive greater revenue and profits from their existing customer bases; acquire customers at lower costs; or respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies such as AI, including shopping using agentic AI tools, as well as changes in apparel trends and consumer shopping behavior, and changes in supply conditions. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, enter or expand their presence in the personalized retail market, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build larger customer bases or generate revenue from their existing customer bases more effectively than we do. If we fail to execute on any of the above better than our competitors, our operating results may be adversely affected.
Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, fires, severe winter weather, and other adverse weather events and climate conditions, which we expect to become more frequent and more severe with the increasing effects of climate change; unforeseen public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or other pandemics and epidemicscrises; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, and other political instability, including the ongoing international conflicts; or other catastrophic events, whether occurring in the United States or internationally, have and could in the future disrupt our operations or cause us to close one or more of our offices and fulfillment centers or could disrupt, delay, or otherwise negatively impact the operations of one or more of our third-party providers or vendors. For instance, the severe winter weather and temperatures experienced in Texas and other parts of the country in February 2021 caused us to temporarily close two of our fulfillment centers and affected the shipping of merchandise in and out of fulfillment centers. These types of events could impact our merchandise supply chain, including our ability to ship merchandise to or receive returned merchandise from clients in the impacted region, and could impact our ability or the ability of third parties to operate our sites and ship merchandise. In addition, these types of events could negatively impact consumer spending in the impacted regions.

In addition, refer to our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations from fiscal 20242025 to fiscal 20232024 in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 3,2, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2024.2025.
In 2011, Stitch Fix introduced an innovative approach to shopping for clothing and accessories. We were inspired by the opportunity to create a client-first styling experience, offering an alternative to impersonal, time-consuming and inconvenient traditional shopping. We do this through our unique business model that pairs expert Stylists with best-in-class AI and recommendation algorithms. Clients primarily engage with us by (1) receiving a curated shipment of items informed by our algorithms and chosen by a Stitch Fix Stylist (a “Fix”); or (2) purchasing directly from our website or mobile app based on an individualized assortment of outfit and item recommendations (“Freestyle”). For the Fix experience, clients choose to schedule regular shipments or order a Fix on demand. Then, after receiving a Fix, they can purchase the items they want to keep and return the other items, if any.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we ceased operations of our UK business and the accounting requirements for reporting the UK business as a discontinued operation were met. Accordingly, any discussion of historical information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis below reflects the results of the UK business as a discontinued operation, and amounts and disclosures below relate to the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 15, “Discontinued Operations” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for further details.

As of August 2,1, 2025, and August 3, 2024,2026, we had approximately 2,309,000 and 2,508,0002,277,000 active clients, respectively, representing a year-over-year decline of 7.9%.1.4% compared to the prior year.
During fiscal 2025, we experienced a decline in net revenue year-over-year primarily due to our challenges in acquiring and retaining active clients. In fiscal 2026, we expect broader macroeconomic uncertainty and market conditions to negatively impact consumer discretionary spending, and we will enter the fiscal year with fewer active clients than the start of fiscal 2025. However, we project that positive trends in average order values and the number of items kept per Fix will offset the negative impact of those active client losses on net revenue in fiscal 2026. We remain focused on retaining current clients, attracting new clients, improving the conversion of new visitors to our site and app, and enhancing our overall client experience for new and existing clients.
Net loss from continuing operations for fiscal 20252026 was $28.8$12.6 million, compared to a netNet loss from continuing operations of $118.9$28.8 million for fiscalthe 2024.prior year.

RESTRUCTURING
During fiscal 2025, in furtherance of and as an expansion of the restructuring plan announced in June 2022 (the “2022 Restructuring Plan”), we recorded $1.2 million of additional restructuring charges. As of August 2, 2025, we do not expect any additional cash restructuring charges related to the 2022 Restructuring Plan.
Refer to Note 14, “Restructuring” within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report for further details.
We are continuing to evaluate other fixed and variable operating costs, including further rationalizing our real estate footprint and continuing to optimize and be disciplined in our marketing strategy to better position ourselves for profitability. However, our future results of operations will depend on our ability to successfully navigate current business challenges and the overall macroeconomic environment.
•Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our provision for income taxes, which may increase or decrease cash available to us;
•Adjusted EBITDA excludes the non-cash expense of stock-based compensation, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, an important part of how we attract and retain our employees and a significant recurring expense in our business;
•Adjusted EBITDA excludes costs incurred related to discrete restructuring plans and other one-time costs attributable to our continuing operations that are fundamentally different in strategic nature and frequency from ongoing initiatives. We believe exclusion of these items facilitates a more consistent comparison of operating performance over time, however these costs do include cash outflows;
•Free Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect our future contractual commitments.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding interest income, other (income) expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other one-time costs, and non-ordinary course legal fees related to our continuing operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDAEBITDA, for each of the periods presented:
(1) For fiscal 2026, other one-time costs were $1.0 million for net costs related to an early sublease termination by a sublessor. For fiscal 2025, restructuring charges were $1.2 million, primarily in severance and employee-related benefits and other restructuring costs, and other one-time costs were $2.0 million for one-time bonuses for certain continuing employees.
(2) Non-ordinary course legal fees include costs related to a specific class action lawsuit.
(1) For fiscal 2024, “Depreciation and amortization” excluded $12.1 million that was reflected in “Restructuring and other one-time costs”.
(2) Restructuring and other one-time costs includes restructuring charges as described in Note 14, “Restructuring” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. Fiscal 2025 includes $2.0 million in one-time bonuses for certain continuing employees. Fiscal 2024 consists of $6.7 million in one-time professional services fees.
(3) Non-ordinary course legal fees for fiscal 2025 include costs related to a specific class action lawsuit. We estimate we will incur approximately $4.2 million in non-ordinary course legal fees in fiscal 2026 related to said class action lawsuit. Refer to Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8.
We believe that the number of active clients is a key indicator of the overall health of our business. We define an active client as a client who checked out a Fix or was shipped an item via Freestyle in the preceding 52 weeks, measured as of the last day of that period. Clients check out a Fix when they indicate what items they are keeping through our mobile application or on our website. We consider each Women’s, Men’s, or Kids account as a client, even if they share the same household. A single person could have multiple accounts and count as multiple active clients.

The decrease in active clients is due to dormantinactive clients outpacing client additions during the year, which we largely attribute to client conversion and retention challenges.
Our business and operating results are subject to national and global economic conditions and their impact on consumer discretionary spending. As the macroeconomic environment is experiencing inflation, recessionary concerns, and general uncertainty regarding trade policies, including tariffs and other restrictions, and the overall future political and economic environment, we cannot predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen. However,Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, we began to see impacts from these conditions. We anticipate that broader macroeconomic uncertainty and market conditions will putcontinue increasedto place pressure on consumer discretionary spending in fiscal 2026,spending, which maywe expect to negatively impact our business.business in fiscal 2027.

We utilize both digital and offline channels to attract new visitors to our website or mobile app and subsequently convert them into clients. Our marketing costs are largely composed of advertising, and public relations expenses. Our marketing expenses have varied from period to period and we expect this trend to continue.
Marketing expense is recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The largest component of our marketing expense is advertising, which was $129.6 million and $117.3 million for the fiscal year ended August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025, respectively. We will continue to be methodical about our approach when we are making advertising decisions, and may adjust our spending up or down based on performance.
AI USE IN OUR OPERATIONS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
We intend to leverage our data science and deep understanding of our clients’ needs to make targeted investments in technology and product. AI continues to gain momentum in the economy and we are responding by continuing to integrate AI into our internal business processes and operating strategy, focusing on seeking and retaining AI talent, and utilizing AI to enhance client-facing experiences.
We leverage our data science to buy and manage our inventory, including merchandise assortment and fulfillment center optimization. Because our merchandise assortment directly correlates to client success,conversion and retention, we may at times optimize our inventory strategy to prioritize long-term client successretention over short-term gross margin impact. To ensure sufficient availability of merchandise, we generally enter into purchase orders well in advance and frequently before apparel trends are confirmed by client purchases. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts, including due to tariffs, and availability of merchandise at the time of purchase. We incur inventory write-offs and changes in inventory reserves that impact our gross margins. Moreover, our inventory investments will fluctuate with the needs of our business.
To ensure sufficient merchandise availability, we generally enter into purchase commitments well in advance and frequently before apparel trends are fully established by client purchasing behavior. As a result, we are vulnerable to shifting client demand, pricing volatility, trade policy changes, and merchandise availability at the time of purchase. Moreover, our inventory investments will fluctuate to align to our business needs.
While we do not pay tariffs directly to customs authorities, tariffs imposed on certain of our suppliers have resulted in higher vendor source costs. We have partially mitigated these cost pressures through selective pricing adjustments on certain merchandise. Despite these price increases, our cost of goods sold increased in fiscal 2026 and we expect will continue to rise, primarily due to higher transportation cost from rising oil prices and continued merchandise assortment investments. As a result, we expect cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue to fluctuate based on supply chain dynamics, inventory management, and merchandise mix.

Historically, changes in our merchandise mix have not caused significant fluctuations in our gross margin; however, categories, brands, product types, and price points do have a range of margin profiles. For example, our Owned Private Label Brands have generally contributed higher margins than our third-party brands, which have generally contributed lower margins. We continue to evolve our merchandise mix in an effort to improve the client experience and attract new active clients. Shifts in merchandise mix will result in fluctuations in our gross margin from period to period.
REVENUEREVENUE, NET
We generate revenue from the sale of merchandise through our Fix and Freestyle offerings. With our Fix offering, we charge a nonrefundable upfront fee, referred to as a “styling fee,” that is credited towards any merchandise purchased. We offer Style Pass to provide select U.S. clients with an alternative to paying a styling fee per Fix. Style Pass clients pay a nonrefundable annual fee for unlimited styling that is credited towards merchandise purchases. We deduct discounts, sales tax, and estimated refunds to arrive at net revenue, which we refer to as revenue throughout this Annual Report. We also recognize revenue resulting from estimated breakage income on gift cards.
Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of merchandise, expenses for inbound freight and shipping to and from clients, inventory write-offs and changes in our inventory reserve,reserve that impact our gross margins, payment processing fees, and packaging materials costs, offset by the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned. We expect our cost of goods sold to increase in fiscal 2026 if tariffs are sustained at heightened levels. We also expect fluctuations in our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue primarily due to how we manage our inventory and merchandise mix. Our classification of cost of goods sold may vary from other companies in our industry and may not be comparable.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist primarily of compensation and benefits costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for our employees including our Stylists, fulfillment center operations, data analytics, merchandising, engineering, marketing, client experience, and corporate personnel. SG&A also includes marketing and advertising costs, third-party logistics costs, facility costs for our fulfillment centers and office, professional service fees, information technology costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. As a result of our restructuring and cost reduction actions from fiscal 2022 through fiscal 2025, we expect SG&A as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2026 to continue to decrease as compared to fiscal 2025. Our classification of certain components within SG&A may vary from other companies in our industry and may not be comparable.

A predominant portion of the goods we sell is originally manufactured in countries other than the United States, with the majority coming from China. Tariffs and other protectionist trade measures could adversely affect our business, including disruption and cost increases in our established patterns for sourcing our merchandise and increased uncertainties in planning our sourcing strategies and forecasting our margins. Recent trade policies and uncertainty related thereto, including with respect to tariffs and other restrictions, particularly with respect to China in addition to other countries from which we source our merchandise and raw materials, have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which has and may continue to adversely impact our business and operations. For example, the U.S. government has imposed significant incremental tariffs on a broad range of goods imported from China, including the apparel we source. Certain of these tariffs have been subject to successful legal challenge, but it remains unclear whether and to whom those tariffs may be refunded, and the U.S. government has announced its intention to impose new or similar tariffs under alternative statutory mechanisms. This could further change the tariff rate, including with respect to China. Tariffs and international trade arrangements will continue to change, potentially without warning and to an extent or duration that is difficult to predict. Changing tariff rates and shifting trade policies have created significant uncertainty for vendors, consumers, and us. If tariffs from countries from which we source products are sustained at heightened levels, it will further increase our merchandise costs, may result in increased prices for our clients, and may negatively impact our margins and consumer demand for our products and services, any of which could harm our competitive position or otherwise negatively impact our operating results.

Although we continue to work with our vendors to mitigate our exposure to current or potential tariffs, there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset any increased costs. Other changes in U.S. tariffs, quotas, trade relationships, or tax provisions could also reduce the supply of goods available to us or increase our cost of goods. Although such changes would have implications across the entire industry, we may fail to effectively adapt to and manage the adjustments in strategy that would be necessary in response to those changes.

•Our business depends on a strong brand and we may not be able to maintain or improve our brand and reputation.
•We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase program will enhance long-term stockholder value. Share repurchases could also diminish our cash reserves.
We seek to attract high-quality clients who will remain clients for the long term, but our efforts may not be successful or produce the results we anticipate. For example, if we are not able to engage new clients effectively so they continue receiving Fixes after their first few tries, our number of active clients will continue to suffer. Our inability to attract and keep high-quality clients engaged, a continued year over year decrease in our number of active clients, or a decrease in client spending has in the past negatively affected and could continue to negatively affect our operating results.
In addition, we seek to attract and retain clients by offering new products, services, and ways to engage with our platform. If such new products or services are not timely or successfully launched or are not successful in attracting new clients, our sales may fall short of expectations, our brand and reputation could be adversely affected, and our results of operations may suffer. Developing new offerings requires significant investments of resources and time, and if a new offering is not successful, or is delayed or not executed well, our operating results could be negatively impacted. Expansion of our offerings may also strain our management and operational resources, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Significant price increases or fluctuations, trade policies, including tariffs and trade restrictions, geopolitical conflict, currency volatility or fluctuation, shortages, increases in shipping or freight costs, or shipping delays of petroleum, cotton, linen, or other raw materials could significantly increase our cost of goods sold or affect our operating results.

In fiscal 2024, we closed two fulfillment centers, as we believe our inventory is better optimized across a smaller network of warehouses and allows us to deliver a better client experience with access to a greater breadth inventory for a given Fix, while at the same time operating with lower, more cash efficient, inventory levels. This smaller inventory base and our focus on inventory efficiency creates increased risk related to inventory assortment. If we experience sub-optimal inventory assortment to meet demand, it may affect revenue in current and future quarters. If we do not predict client demand accurately, do not reorder or write off the right products in a timely manner, or otherwise do not effectively manage our inventory, we may experience significant inventory write-offs or insufficient inventory to meet demand, which would adversely affect our operating results.

We have experienced difficulty hiring and retaining employees in our fulfillment centers, which in the past we attributed to COVID-19 concerns and to increased competition and rising wages for eCommerce fulfillment center workers. To address this, we increased wages in our fulfillment centers and implemented other policies in order to be more competitive in hiring and retaining employees. These wage increases impacted our operating results. Hiring and retention of employees in our warehouses is a continuing challenge as demand for eCommerce fulfillment center workers remains high.

We may have to increase wages for our fulfillment center employees or spend money on additional employee recruiting or retention programs, which would impact our operating results.

Capacity constraints in our fulfillment centers could affect the amount and types of inventory we have available to offer to clients, which will affect our results of operations. Any capacity constraints due to hiring difficulties may be exacerbated due to the fact that we have fewer fulfillment centers than we once did. If we are unable to adequately staff our fulfillment centers to meet demand, or if the cost of such staffing is higher than projected due to competition, mandated wage increases, regulatory changes, or other factors, our operating results will be further harmed.
As of JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, approximately 1,800 of our employees were Stylists. In January 2024, we moved to a part-time only Stylist model, and all of our Stylists now work on a part-time basis and are paid hourly. The Stylists track and report the time they spend working for us. These employees are classified as nonexempt under federal and state law. If we fail to effectively manage our Stylists, including by ensuring accurate tracking and reporting of their hours worked and proper processing of their hourly wages, then we may face claims alleging violations of wage and hour employment laws, including, without limitation, claims of back wages, unpaid overtime pay, and missed meal and rest periods. Any such employee litigation could be attempted on a class or representative basis, or other form of multi-plaintiff litigation. For example, in August 2020, a representative action under California’s Private Attorneys General Act was filed against us alleging various violations of California’s wage and hour laws relating to our current and former non-exempt Stylist employees. While we were able to settle this matter, and we no longer employ Stylists in California, future litigation concerning our styling employees could be expensive and time-consuming

In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our operations in and caused us to temporarily close our offices and require that most of our employees work from home; disrupted our operations in and caused us to close fulfillment centers; required us to implement various operational changes to ensure the health and safety of our employees; had a range of negative effects on the operations of our third-party providers and vendors, including our merchandise supply chain and shipping partners; and negatively impacted consumer spending and the economy generally due to measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as government-mandated business closures, office closures, and travel and transportation restrictions. We experienced reduced capacity in the third quarter of the fiscal year ended August 1, 2020 (“fiscal 2020”) as we temporarily closed three of our fulfillment centers and we implemented additional safety protocols. These efforts resulted in significantly less capacity in our fulfillment centers during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which resulted in delayed Fix shipments, a significant Fix backlog, delayed inventory and return processing, extended wait times for clients, and inventory management challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic disruption also led to significant volatility in the capital markets. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, most non-fulfillment center employees continue to work in a remote capacity with some in a hybrid of in-person and remote work. Remote working environments present additional risks, uncertainties and costs that could affect our performance, including increased operational risk, uncertainty regarding office space needs, heightened vulnerability to cyber attacks, potential reduced productivity, changes to our Company culture, potential strains to our business continuity plans, and increased costs to ensure our offices are safe and functional as hybrid offices that enable effective collaboration of both remote and in-person colleagues. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many risks as described above and throughout these risk factors to materialize and adversely affected our business and operating results.

During fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock, and we had $120.0$104.9 million remaining in share repurchase capacity as of JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026. Although our Board of Directors has authorized this repurchase program, the program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to acquire any specific number of shares. The actual timing and amount of repurchases remain subject to a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market conditions and other general business considerations. In addition, the terms of our first lien credit agreement with Citibank, N.A., as agent and lender (“the Credit Facility”), impose limitations on our ability to repurchase shares. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time, and we cannot guarantee that the program will be fully consummated or that it will enhance long-term stockholder value. The program could affect the trading price of our stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our stock.

Furthermore, should any such deficiencies arise we could be subject to lawsuits, sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities, including SEC enforcement actions and we could be required to restate our financial results, any of which would require additional financial and management resources.
The trading market for our Class A common stock is influenced in part by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If one or more of the analysts initiate research with an unfavorable rating or downgrade our Class A common stock, provide a more favorable recommendation about our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our Class A common stock price would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the trading price or trading volume of our Class A common stock to decline.

We use a 52- or 53-week fiscal year, with our fiscal year ending on the Saturday that is closest to July 31 of that year. The fiscal year ending August 1, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”) and August 2, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”) each consist of 52 weeks. Throughout this Quarterly Report, all references to quarters and years are to our fiscal quarters and fiscal years unless otherwise noted.
For the three months and sixnine months ended JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, we reported revenue, net of $341.3$340.3 million and $683.4$1,023.7 million, respectively, representing a year-over-year increase of 9.4%4.7% and 8.3%,7.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in the prior year. As of JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, and FebruaryMay 1,3, 2025, we had approximately 2,288,0002,309,000 and 2,371,0002,353,000 active clients, respectively, representing a year-over-year decrease of 3.5%.1.9%.
During the sixnine months ended JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, we experienced an increase in net revenue year-over-year primarily due to an increase in net revenue per active client, driven by higher average order values and number of items kept per Fix, partially offset by a decline in active clients due to our challenges in acquiring and retaining active clients. Throughout the remainder of fiscal 2026, we expect broader macroeconomic uncertainty and market conditions to negatively impact consumer discretionary spending. However, we project that positive trends in average order values and the number of items kept per Fix will offset any negative impact of lower active client counts on net revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2026. We remain focused on retaining current clients, attracting new clients, improving the conversion of new visitors to our site and app, and enhancing our overall client experience for new and existing clients. Refer to the section titled “Key Financial and Operating Metrics” for information on how we define and calculate active clients.
Net loss from continuing operations for the three months and sixnine months ended JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, was $2.7$1.5 million and $9.0$10.5 million, respectively, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $6.6$7.4 million and $12.9$20.3 million for the same periodperiods in the prior year.
For more information on the components of net loss from continuing operations for three months and sixnine months ended, refer to the section titled “Results of Operations” below.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss from continuing operations excluding interest income, other (income) expense, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and other one-time costs, and non-ordinary course legal fees related to our continuing operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDAEBITDA, for each of the periods presented:
(1) For the three months and sixnine months ended FebruaryMay 1,3, 2025, restructuring charges were $0.2$0.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, primarily in severance and employee-related benefits and other restructuring costs; and other one-time costs were $0.4$0.1 million and $1.8$1.9 million, respectively, in one-time bonuses for certain continuing employees.
(2) Non-ordinary course legal fees for the sixnine months ended JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, include costs related to a specific class action lawsuit.
We believe that the number of active clients is a key indicator of the overall health of our business. We define an active client as a client who checked out a Fix or was shipped an item via Freestyle in the preceding 52 weeks, measured as of the last day of that period. Clients check out a Fix when they indicate what items they are keeping through our mobile application or on our website. We consider each Women’s, Men’s, or Kids account as a client, even if they share the same household. A single person could have multiple accounts and count as multiple active clients. We had approximately 2,288,0002,309,000 and 2,371,0002,353,000 active clients as of JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, and FebruaryMay 1,3, 2025, respectively, representing a year-over-year decrease of 3.5%.1.9%. The decrease in active clients is due to dormantinactive clients outpacing client additions during the year, which we largely attribute to client conversion and retention challenges.
We believe that net revenue per active client is an indicator of client engagement and satisfaction. We calculate net revenue per active client based on net revenue over the preceding four fiscal quarters divided by the number of active clients measured as of the last day of the period. Net revenue per active client was $577$578 and $537$542 as of JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, and FebruaryMay 1,3, 2025, respectively, or a year-over-year increase of 7.4%, respectively.6.6%.
Our business and operating results are subject to national and global economic conditions and their impact on consumer discretionary spending. As the macroeconomic environment is experiencing inflation, recessionary concerns, and general uncertainty regarding trade policies, including tariffs and other restrictions, and the overall future political and economic environment, we cannot predict whether or when such circumstances may improve or worsen. WhileWe do not believe these conditions have not materially impacted our net revenues or client behavior toduring datethe infirst nine months of fiscal 2026,2026. weWe anticipate that continued macroeconomic uncertainty maywill continue to place pressure on consumer discretionary spendingspending, which may negatively impact our business in the remainder of fiscal 2026, which may negatively impact our business.2026.
Marketing expense is recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The largest component of our marketing expense is advertising, which for the three and sixnine months ended JanuaryMay 31,2, 2026, was $28.9$34.9 million and $62.8$97.7 million, respectively, and for the three and sixnine months ended FebruaryMay 1,3, 2025, was $24.4$33.2 million and $54.4$87.7 million, respectively. We will continue to be methodical about our approach when we are making advertising decisions, and may adjust our spending up or down based on performance.
Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of merchandise, expenses for inbound freight and shipping to and from clients, inventory write-offs and changes in our inventory reserve, payment processing fees, and packaging materials costs, offset by the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned. To date, tariffs have not materially impacted our cost of goods sold. However, we expect our cost of goods sold tohas increaseincreased in fiscal 2026 and may continue to increase driven primarily by rising transportation cost and investments in our inventory assortment and rising transportation costs.assortment. We also expect fluctuations in our cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue primarily due to how we manage our inventory and merchandise mix. Our classification of cost of goods sold may vary from other companies in our industry and may not be comparable.
STITCH FIX, INC. | Q2 2026 FORM 10-Q | 24
Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist primarily of compensation and benefits costs, including stock-based compensation expense, for our employees including our Stylists, fulfillment center operations, data analytics, merchandising, engineering, marketing, client experience, and corporate personnel. SG&A also includes marketing and advertising costs, third-party logistics costs, facility costs for our fulfillment centers and office, professional service fees, information technology costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. As a result of our restructuring and cost reduction actions from fiscal year ended July 30, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”) through fiscal 2025, we expect SG&A as a percentage of revenue in fiscal 2026 to continue to decrease as compared to fiscal 2025. Our classification of certain components within SG&A may vary from other companies in our industry and may not be comparable.
