Filing Explained

Completed cash deployment and financing left Chewy with cash and fewer Class A shares outstanding as of August 2, 2026.

The Form 8-K furnishes Chewy’s completed second-quarter results for the 13 weeks ended August 2, 2026; it also records capital deployment and financing that reduced cash and changed the common-share count.

During the first 26 weeks, Chewy paid for an acquisition, repurchased common stock, received debt proceeds, and repaid debt.

Cash and cash equivalents declined between August 2, 2026 and February 1, 2026; Class A issued and outstanding shares were 224,993,295 versus 238,647,144, while Class B shares remained 176,478,229.

The share figures are issued-and-outstanding balances rather than the authorized share ceiling: the filing lists 1.5 billion Class A shares authorized and 395 million Class B shares authorized.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $226.7 million, an increase of $43.4 million year over year"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted net income financial
"Adjusted net income(1) of $148.8 million, an increase of $7.7 million"
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
Free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Autoship customer sales financial
"Autoship customer sales as a percentage of net sales | 84.6 % | | 83.0 %"
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"these non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate operating performance"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Net sales $3.33 billion 7.3% year-over-year increase
Net income $80.5 million 29.8% year-over-year increase
Diluted EPS $0.20 up from $0.14 a year earlier
Adjusted EBITDA $226.7 million 23.7% year-over-year increase
Adjusted EBITDA margin 6.8% up from 5.9% a year earlier
Free cash flow $89.5 million 15.5% year-over-year decrease
Active customers 21.705 million 3.8% year-over-year increase
Autoship customer sales as % of net sales 84.6% up from 83.0% a year earlier
Guidance

Management stated it is raising its full-year revenue and profitability outlook based on recurring revenue strength, customer growth, and disciplined execution, without providing specific guidance figures.

To supplement our GAAP results, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate operating performance, assess liquidity, and inform capital allocation decisions. These measures include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share, and Free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and related taxes, income tax provision (benefit), interest income (expense), transaction-related costs, net legal settlement proceeds, changes in the fair value of equity warrants, severance and exit costs, and other items not considered indicative of our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.

Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring items, including share-based compensation and related taxes, releases of valuation allowances associated with deferred tax assets, transaction-related costs, net legal settlement proceeds, changes in the fair value of equity warrants, and severance and exit costs. Beginning in the first quarter of 2026, Adjusted net income excludes transaction-related costs prospectively.

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures.

We believe these measures provide additional insight into the underlying trends in our business and facilitate comparisons across reporting periods. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.

These non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP results. For example, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect capital expenditures, working capital requirements, interest income (expense), income taxes, or share-based compensation, which remains a recurring component of our compensation structure. In addition, other companies may calculate non-GAAP measures differently, which may limit their comparability. Accordingly, these measures should be considered together with our GAAP financial statements and related disclosures.

Free cash flow may also be affected by changes in working capital, including fluctuations in inventory levels, vendor payment terms, and other components of the cash conversion cycle.
