(Nasdaq: VRA) (the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026 (“Fiscal 2026”). Second Quarter Comments “Our second quarter results were in line with our internal expectations.

We are encouraged that this trend has continued and that our brand channels are leading the way.” said Ian Bickley, Executive Chairman of Vera Bradley. Bickley continued, “We are in the early stages of making meaningful adjustments to our product design and assortment, driving innovation back into our core DNA and what made Vera Bradley successful. As part of our fall and holiday assortments, we are bringing back iconic styles such as the Vera Tote along with exciting new product designs with great details. Our assortments will be more balanced across fabrications, silhouettes and prints. And we are super excited for the hero heritage re-issue of the original 100 Bag, a Vera Bradley icon, just in time for the holiday gifting season.” “We recognize there is much work ahead of us, but through the cross functional work we have initiated partnering with our Strategy and Transformation Committee, we are implementing a comprehensive strategy to revitalize our market position by leveraging our brand's proven emotional connection with consumers. Our integrated approach spans strategic merchandising and product innovation, targeted marketing, and how we show up across shopping channels, all designed to re-engage our loyal customer base while expanding our reach to new market segments. This disciplined focus on our core brand strengths, combined with data-driven consumer insights and seamless execution, will, over time, drive sustainable growth and restore our competitive advantage,” concluded Bickley.

Vera Bradley Indirect segment revenues totaled $10.3 million, a 52.5% decrease over $21.8 million in the prior year second quarter.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Measures Non-GAAP Numbers The current year non-GAAP second quarter and six-month income statement numbers referenced below exclude the previously outlined charges for severance, consulting and professional fees associated with strategic initiatives and shareholder matters, property, plant, & equipment impairment charges, professional fees associated with the sale of Pura Vida, PO cancellation fees, transformation initiatives, inventory write-offs associated with the sale of Pura Vida, and the income tax effect related to these items. The prior year non-GAAP second quarter and six-month income statement numbers referenced below exclude the previously outlined charges for severance, one-time vendor charges, Project Restoration initiatives, consulting and professional fees, and the income tax effect related to these items. The Company's management does not, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Further, the non-GAAP measures utilized by the Company may be unique to the Company, as they may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the non-GAAP measures presented in this earnings release, including cash usage; gross profit; selling, general, and administrative expenses; operating (loss) income from continuing operations; net (loss) income from continuing operations; and diluted net (loss) income per share from continuing operations, along with the associated percentages of net revenues, are helpful to investors because they allow for a more direct comparison of the Company’s year-over-year performance and are consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in the Company’s supplemental schedules included in this earnings release. Consistent with SEC regulations, the Company has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception set forth in the applicable regulations, because there is substantial uncertainty associated with predicting any future adjustments the Company may make to its GAAP financial measures in calculating non-GAAP financial measures.
