Revises Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
NEW YORK, Sept. 08, 2023 (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 July 31, 2023.
"For some time, we have been focused on taking decisive actions with the goal to bring Rent the Runway to profitability, and we believe now is the right time to accelerate our efforts. We made significant progress in Q2 across the bottom line, exceeding our profitability guidance, and with Adjusted EBITDA margins hitting a historic high at 10.2%,” said Jennifer Hyman, Co-Founder and CEO, Rent the Runway. “We believe that a key part of achieving our profitability milestone is prioritizing the medium and long-term health of the business over short-term revenue gains and lower margin customers. Above all, we are empowering our leaders to make the right decisions in service to this goal and in service to our customers and investors, and look forward to continuing to capture what we believe is a significant market opportunity ahead.”
“Our teams have made strong progress reducing fixed and variable costs,” said CFO Sid Thacker. “We believe these improvements--combined with expected changes in promotional strategies and increases in rental product acquired through non-wholesale channels--have accelerated our path to achieve free cash flow breakeven, before cash interest expense, in FY24.”

- Revenue was $75.7 million, a (1.0)% decrease year-over-year from $76.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.

- 184,389 ending Total Subscribers, representing an increase of 6% year-over-year from 173,321 at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
- Gross Profit was $33.2 million, representing an increase of 2.5% from $32.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Gross Margin was 43.9%, as compared to 42.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
- Net Loss was $(26.8) million, as compared to $(33.9) million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Net Loss as a percentage of revenue was (35.4)%, as compared to (44.3)% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $7.7 million, as compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.2%, as compared to 2.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.
Fiscal Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
- Implemented Inventory Depth Strategy: laid important groundwork designed to meaningfully improve in-stock rates by increasing new inventory depth at approximately 1.7X the depths of our 1H23 buys, which is expected to drive a positive customer experience in 2H23 and beyond. We have further expanded our depth plans for 2024 and expect to see continued improvement on in-stock rates in 1H24 as a result.
- Further improved operating efficiencies: In August, completed a new transportation deal with UPS to lock in competitive rates and consolidate the vast majority of our shipping needs. We believe this partnership will enable us to continue serving our customers with premium delivery and return service, and to further expand new programs like At Home Pick Up and Saturday Delivery.
- Introduced new site and discovery features: launched elevated product detail pages (PDP), improved site filtering, and more rapidly refreshed editorial curations; also rolled out AI search beta to 20% of the RTR customer base. These features, on the whole, have driven significant reductions in time to select shipments for our customers.
- Continued to enhance the onboarding experience: Launched yesterday a new subscriber onboarding experience to help lead customers to inventory they love quickly and pick their first shipment. Intended to drive engagement and retention, the new experience also includes the creation of an interactive customer styling profile and encourages sign up into our concierge program to aid with live, 1:1 assistance.

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.
Average Active Subscribers is defined as the mean of the beginning of quarter and end of quarter Active Subscribers for a quarterly period; and for other periods, represents the mean of the Average Active Subscribers of every quarter within that period.
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, Adjusted EBITDA margin, free cash flow, free cash flow margin, free cash flow before cash interest expense, and free cash flow before cash interest expense margin. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful in evaluating our performance and free cash flow and free cash flow before cash interest expense (as well as related margins) are useful in evaluating our performance and liquidity. 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. 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, non-recurring adjustments (see below footnotes to reconciliation table), income tax (benefit) expense, other income and expense, net, and other gains / losses. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA calculated as a percentage of revenue.
We define free cash flow as net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis. We define free cash flow before cash interest expense as net cash used in operating activities and net cash used in investing activities on a combined basis, before cash interest expense. Free cash flow margin and free cash flow before cash interest expense margin are defined as free cash flow and free cash flow before cash interest expense, respectively, as a percentage of revenue.
The reconciliation of presented 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, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow guidance and free cash flow before cash interest expense expectations for fiscal year 2024 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, non-recurring expenses, which can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted.
