(Nasdaq: TDUP, LTSE: TDUP), one of the largest online resale platforms for apparel, shoes, and accessories, announced today its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 and updated full year 2025 financial outlook. “In Q3, we are proud to have delivered our fourth consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth, driven by exceptional new buyer acquisition and order growth,” said ThredUp CEO and co-founder James Reinhart. “This quarter, we launched a fully rebranded ThredUp experience, with new products and features that create a more personalized and engaging way to buy and sell secondhand. These advancements are enabled by years of investment in our data and technology infrastructure, positioning us to innovate faster and strengthen our competitive moat in the growing resale market.” Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights1 Revenue: Revenue totaled $82.2 million, an increase of 34% year-over-year.Gross Profit and Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled $65.2 million, an increase of 34% year-over-year. Gross margin was 79.4% as compared to 79.3% in the third quarter last year.Loss from Continuing Operations: Loss from continuing operations was $4.2 million, or a negative 5.2% of revenue, for the third quarter 2025, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $10.4 million, or a negative 16.8% of revenue, for the third quarter last year.Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations1: Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $3.8 million, or 4.6% of revenue, for the third quarter 2025, compared to $0.3 million, or 0.5% of revenue, for the third quarter last year.Active Buyers and Orders: Active Buyers of 1.57 million and Orders of 1.61 million for the third quarter 2025, representing increases of 26% and 37%, respectively, over the third quarter last year. Financial Outlook For the fourth quarter 2025, ThredUp expects: Revenue in the range of $76.0 million to $78.0 million, +14% year-over-year at the midpointGross margin in the range of 78.0% to 79.0%Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 3.0% For the full fiscal year 2025, ThredUp expects: Revenue in the range of $307.0 million to $309.0 million, +18% year-over-year at the midpointGross margin in the range of 79.0% to 79.2%Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 4.2% ThredUp is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking guidance of the Non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA margin to net loss margin, the most directly comparable financial measures under GAAP because certain items are out of ThredUp’s control or cannot be reasonably predicted. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, severance and other reorganization costs, and gain on sale of non-marketable equity investment. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by Revenue for the same period. Accordingly, a reconciliation for Adjusted EBITDA in order to calculate forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA margin is not available without unreasonable effort. However, for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full year 2025, Depreciation and amortization is expected to be $3.2 million and $12.7 million, respectively. In addition, for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full year 2025, Stock-based compensation expense is expected to be $3.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could result in projected net loss being materially greater than is indicated by the currently estimated Adjusted EBITDA margin. ThredUp is not providing a quantitative reconciliation for free cash flow estimates on a forward-looking basis because it is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to provide a meaningful or reasonably accurate calculation or estimation of net cash provided by operating activities and certain reconciling items on a forward-looking basis, which could be significant to the Company's results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics This press release and the accompanying tables contain non-GAAP financial measures, including: Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin, free cash flow and other operating and business metrics. In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics, are useful in evaluating our operating performance and enhancing an overall understanding of our financial position. We use these measures and metrics to evaluate and assess our operating performance, and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results. Our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures and other operating and business metrics used by other companies. We encourage investors to review our results determined in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations for more information. A reconciliation is provided above for Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to Loss from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations as loss from continuing operations adjusted to exclude, where applicable in a given period, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, severance and other reorganization costs, and gain on sale of non-marketable equity investment. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin represents Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations divided by Revenue for the same period. A reconciliation is provided above for Non-GAAP free cash flow from continuing operations to Net cash provided by continuing operating activities, the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. We calculate Non-GAAP free cash flow as Net cash provided by continuing operating activities reduced by Purchases of property and equipment. An Active Buyer is a ThredUp buyer who has made at least one purchase in the last twelve months. A ThredUp buyer is a customer who has created an account and purchased in our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, and is identified by a unique email address. A single person could have multiple ThredUp accounts and count as multiple Active Buyers. Orders are defined as the total number of orders placed by buyers across our marketplaces, including through our RaaS® clients, in a given period, net of cancellations. ______________________1 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin are non-GAAP measures. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a detailed reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating and Business Metrics” for a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful.
