NEW YORK, February 28, 2024. Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY) (“Warby Parker” or the “Company”), a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

“2023 marked our second full year as a public company and one in which we executed on our commitment to growing sustainably, delivering double-digit revenue growth each quarter while improving margins and creating exceptional customer experiences,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Neil Blumenthal.

“Looking to 2024, we’re excited to meet millions of customers where and how they want to shop as we expand our retail presence, deploy disciplined marketing spend to support growth across our omnichannel experiences, and nearly double the number of insured lives who can use their in-network vision benefits with Warby Parker to over 34 million individuals,” added Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dave Gilboa.

•Full year net revenue increased $71.7 million, or 12.0%, to $669.8 million compared to full year 2022.

•Fourth quarter net revenue increased $15.4 million, or 10.5%, to $161.9 million compared to fourth quarter 2022.

•Average Revenue per Customer increased 9.3% year over year to $287.

•Full year GAAP net loss of $63.2 million, and fourth quarter GAAP net loss of $19.0 million.

•Full year adjusted EBITDA(1) of $52.4 million and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 7.8%, and fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA(1) of $9.4 million and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 5.8%.

•Opened 40 new stores during the year, ending 2023 with 237 stores.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Year Over Year Financial Results

•Gross profit increased 8.0% to $87.1 million.

•Gross margin was 53.8% compared to 55.1% in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the sales growth of contact lenses which are sold at a lower margin than glasses, increased doctor salaries, as the number of stores offering eye exams grew, and increases in store occupancy costs as a percent of revenue as we grew our store base from 200 stores as of December 31, 2022 to 237 stores as of December 31, 2023. These impacts were partially offset by increased progressives penetration, increased efficiencies in our owned labs, and lower outbound customer shipping costs as a percent of revenue.

•Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $6.3 million to $108.6 million, or 67.1% of revenue, primarily driven by higher compensation costs from growth in our retail team associated with store expansion, increased marketing costs, and increased technology costs, partially offset by lower stock-based compensation costs, which represented 10.1% of revenue compared to 13.6% in Q4 2022. Adjusted SG&A(1) increased from 55.6% to 56.4% of revenue.

•GAAP net loss improved $1.2 million to $19.0 million, primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit, partially offset by increased SG&A as described above.

•Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $0.8 million to $9.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) was flat at 5.8%.

Full Year 2023 Year Over Year Financial Results

•Net revenue increased $71.7 million, or 12.0%, to $669.8 million.

•Average Revenue per Customer increased 9.3% to $287. Active Customers increased 2.5%, to 2.33 million.

•Gross profit increased 7.1% to $365.2 million.

•Gross margin was 54.5% compared to 57.0% in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the sales growth of contact lenses which are sold at a lower margin than our glasses, increased doctor salaries, as the number of stores offering eye exams grew, and increases in store occupancy costs as a percent of revenue as we grew our store base from 200 stores as of December 31, 2022 to 237 stores as of December 31, 2023. These impacts were partially offset by increased progressives penetration, increased efficiencies in our owned labs, and lower outbound customer shipping costs as a percent of revenue.

•SG&A decreased $15.0 million to $437.2 million, or 65.3% of revenue, primarily driven by a decrease in stock-based compensation and marketing costs, partially offset by increased technology costs and higher salaries from growth in our retail team. Adjusted SG&A(1) was $358.6 million, or 53.5% of revenue, versus $348.5 million, or 58.3% of revenue in the prior year.

•GAAP net loss improved $47.2 million to $63.2 million, primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit and the decrease in SG&A described above.

•Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $25.2 million to $52.4 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 7.8% was up 3.3 points as compared to 2022.

Balance Sheet Highlights

Warby Parker ended 2023 with $216.9 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company also entered into a new $120 million revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A., and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, which remains undrawn. This facility replaces Warby Parker’s former credit facility with Comerica Bank.

Recent Developments

In February 2024, Warby Parker expanded its relationship with Versant Health, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife, Inc., and one of the nation’s leading administrators of managed vision care. This expansion will bring an additional 15 million lives in-network with Warby Parker, nearly doubling the number of lives with in-network access to Warby Parker to over 34 million. The Company expects members under these plans to be able to access their in-network benefits later this year.

2024 Outlook

For the full year 2024, Warby Parker is providing the following guidance:

•Net revenue of $748 to $758 million, representing approximately 12% to 13% growth versus full year 2023.

•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $67 million at the midpoint of our revenue range, which equates to an adjusted EBITDA margin(1) of 8.9%.

•40 new store openings.

“As a leadership team, we remain focused on delivering strong topline and bottomline results that speak to Warby Parker’s brand strength, disciplined cost management, and strategic vision as a holistic vision care company,” said Chief Financial Officer Steve Miller.

The guidance and forward-looking statements made in this press release and on our conference call are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release.

Glossary

Active Customer is defined as a unique customer that has made at least one purchase of any product or service in the preceding 12-month period.

Average Revenue per Customer is defined as net revenue for a given period divided by the number of Active Customers as of the end of that same period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted cost of goods sold (“adjusted COGS”), adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses (“adjusted SG&A”), and free cash flow as important indicators of our operating performance. Collectively, we refer to these non-GAAP financial measures as our “Non-GAAP Measures.” The Non-GAAP 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest and other income, taxes, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted for asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, non-cash charitable donations, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs, major system implementation costs, and direct listing or other transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.

Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, non-cash charitable donations, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs, major system implementation costs, and other direct listing or other transaction costs, and as further adjusted for estimated income tax on such adjusted items.

Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by adjusted weighted average shares outstanding.

Adjusted COGS is defined as cost of goods sold adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes.

Adjusted gross profit is defined as net revenue minus adjusted COGS. Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by net revenue.

5

Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, non-cash charitable donations, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs, major system implementation costs, and direct listing or other transaction costs.

Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.

The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. A reconciliation of historical GAAP to Non-GAAP financial information is included under “Selected Financial Information” below.

We have not reconciled our adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to GAAP net income (loss) margin, or net margin, or adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income (loss) because we do not provide guidance for GAAP net margin or GAAP net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation and taxes, which are reconciling items between GAAP net margin and adjusted EBITDA margin and GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted EBITDA, respectively. Because such items cannot be reasonably provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to GAAP net margin and adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income (loss). However, such items could have a significant impact on GAAP net margin and GAAP net income (loss).
