Financial Outlook Our updated financial outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, ending August 2, 2025, is as follows: Q4 2025Net Revenue$298 million - $303 million(6.7)% - (5.2)% YoY0.0% - 1.7% YoY adjusted to a 13-week period (1)Adjusted EBITDA$3 million - $7 million1.0% - 2.3% margin (1) Fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 net revenue from continuing operations has been adjusted to remove the impact of the extra week for year-over-year comparative purposes. Our fiscal year is a 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to July 31. The fiscal year 2025 is a 52-week year and the fiscal year 2024 was a 53-week year, with the extra week occurring in the fourth quarter ending August 3, 2024. Our updated financial outlook for fiscal year 2025 is as follows: Fiscal Year 2025Net Revenue$1.254 billion - $1.259 billion(6.2)% - (5.9)% YoY(4.7)% - (4.3)% YoY adjusted to a 52-week period (1)Adjusted EBITDA$43 million - $47 million3.5% - 3.8% margin (1) Full fiscal year 2024 net revenue from continuing operations has been adjusted to remove the impact of the 53rd week for year-over-year comparative purposes. We expect fourth quarter gross margin to be at the lower end of a 44% to 45% range, and full fiscal year 2025 gross margin to be in the middle of that same range. We expect full fiscal year 2025 advertising expense as a percentage of revenue to be at the high end of the 8% to 9% range we provided last quarter. We expect to be free cash flow positive for the full year. Stitch Fix has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to GAAP net income (loss) or free cash flow outlook to net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations because it does not provide an outlook for GAAP net income (loss) or net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations due to the uncertainty and potential variability of restructuring and other one-time costs, net other income (expense), provision for income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, or net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations, which are reconciling items between the non-GAAP financial measure and the corresponding GAAP measure. Because Stitch Fix cannot reasonably predict such items, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure outlooks to the corresponding GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable effort. We caution, however, that such items could have a significant impact on the calculation of GAAP net income (loss) and free cash flow. For more information regarding the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this release, please see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Discontinued Operations During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we ceased operations of our UK business and met the accounting requirements for reporting the UK business as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the UK business as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

$1,236 Capitalized stock-based compensation$2,321 $3,687 Non-GAAP Financial Measures We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users of our financial information with additional useful information in evaluating our performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue for the period, are frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between continuing operations of companies. We believe free cash flow from continuing operations (“Free Cash Flow”) is an important metric because it represents a measure of how much cash from continuing operations we have available for discretionary and non-discretionary items after the deduction of capital expenditures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are several limitations related to the use of our non-GAAP financial measures as compared to the closest comparable GAAP measures. Some of these limitations include: Adjusted EBITDA excludes interest income and other (income) expense, net as these items are not components of our core business;Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our provision for income taxes, which may increase or decrease cash available to us;Adjusted EBITDA excludes the recurring, non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future;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; andFree Cash Flow does not represent the total residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes and does not reflect our future contractual commitments. Adjusted EBITDA 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, and restructuring and other one-time costs related to our continuing operations. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue for the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA, and net loss margin, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA margin, for each of the periods presented: For the Three Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended(in thousands) May 3, 2025 April 27, 2024 May 3, 2025 April 27, 2024Net loss from continuing operations $(7,381) $(22,017) $(20,267) $(83,144)Add (deduct): Interest income (2,627) (3,002) (8,222) (7,923)Other (income) expense, net 59 9 210 (980)Provision for income taxes 241 170 580 508 Depreciation and amortization (1) 6,860 8,443 21,360 27,283 Stock-based compensation expense 13,727 18,944 43,658 59,911 Restructuring and other one-time costs (2) 134 4,134 3,107 24,103 Adjusted EBITDA $11,013 $6,681 $40,426 $19,758 Revenue, net $325,016 $322,731 $955,944 $1,017,918 Net loss margin (2.3)% (6.8)% (2.1)% (8.2)%Adjusted EBITDA margin 3.4% 2.1% 4.2% 1.9% (1) For the three and nine months ended April 27, 2024, depreciation and amortization excluded $1.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, reflected as restructuring charges within restructuring and other one-time costs.(2) For the three and nine months ended May 3, 2025, restructuring charges were $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 $0.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, in one-time bonuses for certain continuing employees. For the three and nine months ended April 27, 2024, restructuring charges were $4.8 million and $21.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended April 27, 2024, other one-time costs were comprised of $2.9 million in one-time professional services fees. Free Cash Flow We define Free Cash Flow as net cash flows used in operating activities from continuing operations, reduced by purchases of property and equipment that are included in cash flows from investing activities from continuing operations.
