Rhea-AI Filing Summary

CarParts.com, Inc. reported weaker 2025 results as it prioritized profitability over growth. Fiscal 2025 net sales were $547.5 million versus $588.8 million in 2024, while gross margin slipped to 32.8% from 33.4%. Net loss widened to $50.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss increased to $14.0 million.

In the fourth quarter, net sales fell to $120.4 million, but gross margin improved to 33.2%. Quarterly net loss narrowed to $11.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $2.2 million. Management highlighted a $35.7 million strategic investment, a cost structure reset, and an A-Premium partnership at a $35 million annual revenue run rate.

As of January 3, 2026, the company held $25.8 million in cash and had $25.2 million of convertible notes payable and no revolver balance, compared with $36.4 million in cash and no convertible notes a year earlier.

Positive

  • Improving quarterly profitability metrics: In Q4 2025, gross margin rose to 33.2%, net loss narrowed to $11.6 million from $15.4 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss improved to $2.2 million from $6.8 million.
  • Cost structure reset and efficiency gains: Total operating expenses declined to $228.2 million in 2025 from $237.4 million, with management citing headcount reductions, lower marketing spend, warehouse consolidation, and partnerships that reduce working capital needs.

Negative

  • Top-line contraction and larger annual loss: Fiscal 2025 net sales fell to $547.5 million from $588.8 million, while net loss widened to $50.4 million from $40.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss nearly doubled to $14.0 million.
  • Weaker cash position and new debt: Cash declined to $25.8 million as of January 3, 2026 from $36.4 million, and convertible notes payable increased to $25.2 million where there were none a year earlier.

Insights

Revenue declined and losses deepened in 2025, but Q4 margins and cash discipline showed improvement.

CarParts.com saw fiscal 2025 net sales fall from $588.8 million to $547.5 million as it “rationalized” marketing spend, trading top-line growth for profitability efforts. Gross margin for the year dipped to 32.8%, and net loss widened to $50.4 million, while Adjusted EBITDA loss increased to $14.0 million.

Quarterly trends were more constructive. In Q4, net sales of $120.4 million were down year over year, but gross margin improved to 33.2%, operating expenses declined, net loss narrowed from $15.4 million to $11.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA loss shrank from $6.8 million to $2.2 million. Management cited four consecutive quarters of better contribution margin, lower fixed operating expenses, and improved marketing efficiency.

On the balance sheet, cash decreased to $25.8 million with new convertible notes payable of $25.2 million as of January 3, 2026, partly offset by a $35.7 million strategic investment and an equity raise. Future disclosures may clarify how the A-Premium partnership, cited at a $35 million annual revenue run rate, and the leaner cost base translate into free cash flow.

Management Commentary

David Meniane, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "In 2025, we closed a $35.7 million strategic investment, completed a full cost structure reset, and built an operating model delivering results every quarter. Our A-Premium partnership is at a $35 million annual revenue run rate — with a clear path to $50 million near-term and eventually exceeding $100 million at attractive contribution margins — without requiring us to carry the inventory or working capital.

The evidence is in the results. Q4, historically our weakest quarter, was stronger than Q3 — marking four consecutive quarters of improvement in contribution margin, fixed operating expenses, and adjusted EBITDA. In Q4, adjusted EBITDA improved nearly $5 million year over year and gross margin expanded 70 basis points to 33.2%. Marketing efficiency improved close to 300 basis points between Q1 and Q4.


Retention channel revenue, such as email and SMS, increased from 6.7% to over 10% of ecommerce revenue, and our mobile app represented over 13%, up from 7.8% in the prior-year period.

On costs, we consolidated our Virginia warehouse operations into our four remaining facilities, leveraged our ZongTeng partnership, and transitioned our Manila operations to Lean Solutions Group. Those actions are complete, and the company today is leaner, more focused, and built for our current revenue scale.

Our path to free cash flow is not dependent on a demand rebound. It's driven by higher contribution margins, a materially lower fixed cost base, and improving capital efficiency through our partnerships. This is an execution story, not a turnaround narrative."

Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Fiscal year 2025 included 53 weeks compared to 52 weeks in fiscal year 2024.

Net sales in fiscal year 2025 were $547.5 million, down 7% from $588.8 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by the Company’s efforts to increase profitability by rationalizing marketing spend.

Gross profit was $179.3 million in fiscal year 2025 compared to $196.7 million in fiscal year 2024, with gross margin decreasing 60 basis points to 32.8%. The decrease was primarily driven by product mix and the impact of tariffs, partially offset by pricing increases.

Total operating expenses in fiscal year 2025 were $228.2 million compared to $237.4 million in fiscal year 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by favorable payroll costs due to headcount reductions and favorable marketing spend, partially offset by the impairment loss on long-lived assets.

Net loss in fiscal year 2025 was ($50.4) million compared to a net loss of ($40.6) million in fiscal year 2024, primarily driven by lower net sales and an impairment loss on long-lived assets, partially offset by lower operating expenses, including favorable payroll costs and marketing spend.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2025 was ($14.0) million compared to ($7.1) million in fiscal year 2024.

On January 3, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $25.8 million, $25.2 million convertible notes payable balance and no revolver loan balance, compared to a $36.4 million cash balance, no revolver loan balance and no convertible notes payable balances at prior fiscal year-end December 28, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, and other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. We provide “Adjusted EBITDA” in this earnings release and on today’s scheduled conference call, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA consist of net loss before (a) interest expense (income), net; (b) income tax provision; (c) depreciation and amortization expense; (d) amortization of intangible assets; (e) impairment of long-lived assets; (f) share-based compensation expense; (g) workforce transition costs; (h) distribution center costs; and (i) strategic alternatives exploration costs. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided below.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business and results of operations.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as measures of the Company’s operating performance because it assists in comparing the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of stock compensation expense as well as other items that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing operating performance. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are also used by management for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; for allocating resources to enhance financial performance; and for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use these non-GAAP measures as supplemental measures to evaluate the ongoing operations of companies in our industry.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are all unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.


Safe Harbor Statement

This press release contains statements which are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business and its industry, as well as certain assumptions made by the Company. These statements are forward looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Words such as “anticipates,” “could,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential,” “believes,” “predicts,” “projects,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will likely continue” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our future operating results and financial condition, our potential growth, our ability to innovate, our ability to gain market share, and our ability to expand and improve our product offerings. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

Important factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, competitive pressures, our dependence on search engines to attract customers, demand for the Company’s products, the online market and channel mix for aftermarket auto parts, the economy in general, increases in commodity and component pricing that would increase the Company’s product costs, the operating restrictions in its credit agreement, the weather and any other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Risk Factors contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.carparts.com/investor and the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements in this release and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Unless otherwise required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as result of new information, future events or otherwise.
