Kidpik Corp. (NASDAQ:PIK) ("KIDPIK" or the "Company"), an online clothing subscription-based e-commerce company, today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended July 2, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights:

Revenue, net: was $3.8 million, a year over year decrease of 33.4%

Gross margin: was 61.0%, a year over year increase of 70 basis points from 60.3% in the second quarter of 2021

Shipped items: were 354,000 items, compared to 579,000 shipped items in the second quarter of 2021

Average shipment keep rate: of 69.2%, compared to 69.4% in the second quarter of 2021

Net Loss: was $1.6 million or $0.21 loss per share

Adjusted EBITDA: was a loss of $1.1 million compared to a loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 (see also "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," below)

"New customer revenue and conversion rates increased over the past two months, and we have seen our active subscriber base increase over the past month. KIDPIK's second quarter results fell below our expectations due to continued weakness in new customer acquisition, partly due to a decline in industry-wide consumer confidence," said Ezra Dabah, CEO of KIDPIK.

"As we previously mentioned, the rate of our new customer acquisition has been impacted by privacy policies changes across social media. To address this challenge, we've expanded our brand ambassador program, and are focused on our search platform strategy, leveraging our robust database and other channels. Last week we introduced KIDPIK Baby, adding sizes 12 and 18 months to our existing product offerings, which presents growth opportunities among existing and new subscribers. Additionally, we have re-launched our website, creating a streamlined shopping experience and an elevated brand image for the back-to-school season," concluded Dabah.

Revenue by Subscription (For the 13 weeks ended July 2, 2022)

Active Subscriptions (recurring boxes): decreased by 31.6% to $2.7 million

New Subscriptions (first boxes): decreased by 66.1% to $0.3 million

Total Subscriptions: decreased by 38.4% to $3.0 million or 78.8% of total revenue

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Cash at the end of the second quarter totaled $2.5 million compared to $8.4 million as of 1/01/2022.
Net cash used in operating activities for the 26 weeks ended July 2, 2022, was $4.8 million compared to $3.8 million of cash used in operating activities in the comparable period in 2021.

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 is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, and that this supplemental measure facilitates comparisons between companies. This non-GAAP financial measure may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered in isolation from, or as substitutes for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-routine items that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view this non-GAAP measure in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measure, please see the section titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)", included at the end of this release.
