Over the past several quarters, Lulus’ earnings reports have featured declining net revenue but steadily improving profitability metrics. Q2 and Q3 2025 introduced positive Adjusted EBITDA, while Q4 2025 delivered a $2.6M Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin of 44.3%. Full-year 2025 revenue of $282.3M still declined year over year, but net loss narrowed meaningfully. Earlier periods, including FY2024 and Q1 2025, showed heavier losses and guidance uncertainty. Today’s Q1 2026 results continue the theme of stronger gross margins and a smaller net loss despite softer top-line trends.
Historical Comparison
In the last five earnings releases, LVLU’s average move was about 2.02%, with each reaction aligning to the fundamental tone, mainly around margin and EBITDA trends.
Earnings updates have shown a progression from deep losses and impairments toward higher gross margins, improving Adjusted EBITDA, and lower net debt, even as revenue trends remain pressured.
Market Pulse Summary

Adjusted EBITDA improved to -$1.5M, and Net Debt dropped to $5.9M, continuing a multi-quarter pattern of margin gains and balance sheet repair. Investors may watch future quarters for stabilization in Active Customers, sustainability of higher margins, and continued cash generation from operations.

CHICO, Calif., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lulu’s Fashion Lounge Holdings, Inc. (“Lulus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: LVLU) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026 and reaffirmed its financial outlook for the fiscal year ending January 3, 2027.
Crystal Landsem, CEO of Lulus, said:
“Our first quarter results reflect continued progress in strengthening the foundation of the business, even as we took deliberate strategic actions to re-position our assortment as we move into our peak selling periods. During the quarter, we prioritized higher quality demand and disciplined order economics, while more aggressively resetting our casual apparel and footwear assortments to better align with customer demand and margin objectives. As expected, these actions resulted in softer top-line results on a sequential basis, however, gross margins expanded by 480 basis points and Adjusted EBITDA improved by
“With a more focused assortment, continued emphasis on higher-margin event-driven categories while the casual apparel and footwear reset are underway, and a strengthened balance sheet—including a

11% decrease compared to 2.6 million in the same period last year, and a decrease of3% from fourth quarter 2025. - Gross profit increased

Heidi Crane, CFO of Lulus, said:
“As we move through 2026, we are prioritizing profitability by advancing margin optimization efforts, a tighter and higher-margin assortment strategy, and continued execution of our sourcing, SKU rationalization and cost reduction initiatives. While our targeted assortment reset in the first quarter weighed on Adjusted EBITDA performance during the period as anticipated, we drove significant improvement in our margin profile and bottom-line results year-over-year, setting the stage for improved performance throughout the year. We expect Adjusted EBITDA to return to positive in the second quarter and remain confident in our ability to achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA for the full year, while continuing to strengthen cash generation and our balance sheet. Notably, during the first quarter, we reduced total debt and Net Debt by
2026 Financial Outlook:
We are reaffirming our outlook for the full year fiscal 2026:
- We expect Adjusted EBITDA to inflect to positive, compared to
$(1.2) million in 2025, and the net revenue growth trend to improve year-over-year, compared to a decrease of11% in 2025. - We expect capital expenditures to be between
$2.0 million and$2.5 million , inclusive of capitalized software, comparable to 2025 levels.
For the second quarter 2026, we expect positive Adjusted EBITDA that outperforms results for the same period of last year.
Forecasting future results or trends is inherently difficult for any business, and actual results or trends may differ materially from those forecasted. Lulus’ outlook is based on current indications for its business. Lulus’ outlook factors in our current best estimates for anticipated headwinds, including those related to the level of tariffs, consumer demand, spending and returns by our customers, macroeconomic uncertainties, inflation, supply chain pressures, shipping and fuel costs, and the intended impact of our business initiatives in 2026 and cost-reduction measures. Given the volatile nature of current consumer demand and potential for further impacts to consumer behavior due to macroeconomic factors, including continued inflation, higher interest rates, the federal government shutdown, student loan repayment resumption, global political changes, including as a result of tariffs or bans, existing and future laws, regulations, and directives (including executive orders), as well as other world events, wars, and domestic and international conflicts that affect overall consumer confidence and the predictability of consumer purchasing behavior, Lulus’ financial outlook is subject to change.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Operating Metrics
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we reference in this press release and the accompanying tables the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Free Cash Flow. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our ongoing core operating performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when analyzing historical performance and liquidity and when planning, forecasting, and analyzing future periods. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included at the end of this release. Definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures and other operating metrics are presented below. We also use certain key operating metrics, including Gross Margin, Active Customers, and Average Order Value.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes or benefit, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude the effects of equity-based compensation expense, goodwill impairment and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of the impact of equity-based compensation, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) as a percentage of our net revenue.
Active Customers
We define Active Customers as the number of customers who have made at least one purchase across our platform in the prior 12-month period. Active Customer count is measured as of the last day of the relevant period. We consider the number of Active Customers to be a key performance metric on the basis that it is directly related to consumer awareness of our brand, our ability to attract visitors to our digital platform, and our ability to convert visitors to paying customers. Active Customer counts are based on deduplication logic using customer account and guest checkout name, address, and email information.
Average Order Value
We define Average Order Value (“AOV”) as the sum of the total gross sales before returns across our platform in a given period, plus shipping revenue, less discounts and markdowns, divided by the Total Orders Placed (as defined below) in that period. AOV reflects the average basket size of our customers. AOV may fluctuate as we continue investing in the development and introduction of new Lulus merchandise and as a result of our promotional discount activity.
Free Cash Flow
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash used for capitalized software development costs and purchases of property and equipment. We view Free Cash Flow as an important indicator of our liquidity because it measures the amount of cash we generate.
Gross Margin
We define Gross Margin as gross profit as a percentage of our net revenue. Gross profit is equal to our net revenue less cost of revenue. Certain of our competitors and other retailers may report cost of revenue differently than we do. As a result, the reporting of our gross profit and Gross Margin may not be comparable to other companies.
Net Debt
Net Debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total debt, which currently consists of borrowings under the Company’s 2025 credit agreement with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC, as amended, less cash and cash equivalents. We consider Net Debt to be an important supplemental measure of our financial position, which allows us to analyze our leverage.
Total Orders Placed
We define Total Orders Placed as the number of customer orders placed across our platform during a particular period. An order is counted on the day the customer places the order. We do not adjust the number of Total Orders Placed for any cancellation or return that may have occurred subsequent to a customer placing an order. Total Orders Placed, together with AOV, is an indicator of the net revenue we expect to generate in a particular period.
