Forward Outlook

Excluding net revenues, all guidance-related numbers are non-GAAP. The prior year income statement numbers used in the forward-looking discussion below are also non-GAAP as they exclude the previously disclosed charges for intangible asset impairment charges, amortization of definite-lived intangible assets, severance charges, and professional and consulting fees primarily associated with strategic initiatives. Current year guidance also excludes any similar charges as well as one-time vendor charges. Fiscal 2024 represented a 53-week year while Fiscal 2025 represents a 52-week year.

For Fiscal 2025, the Company's expectations are as follows:

• Consolidated net revenues of approximately $410 million. Net revenues totaled $470.8 million in Fiscal 2024, including the estimated impact of a 53rd week of $6.0 million. Revenues for the back half of the year are expected to be down in the low-teen range with sequential improvement in Q4 over Q3 driven by six new outlet store openings along with the anniversary of Pura Vida's digital marketing cost increase in Q3 last year.
• Consolidated gross profit percentage of approximately 53% compared to 54.5% in Fiscal 2024. The fiscal 2025 gross profit rate change is due to product margin improvements and lower supply chain costs, offset by increased shipping costs, increased promotional cadence in our direct segments, and increased liquidation sales.
• Consolidated SG&A expense of approximately $215 million compared to $234.7 million in Fiscal 2024. Year-over-year SG&A expense reductions are anticipated to come from decreased variable costs along with continued structural cost reductions.
• Consolidated operating income of approximately $3 million compared to $22.6 million in Fiscal 2024.
• Consolidated diluted EPS of approximately $0.10 based on diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of 29.8 million and an effective tax rate of approximately 34%. Diluted EPS totaled $0.55 last year, including the estimated impact of a 53rd week of $0.01.
• Net capital spending of approximately $13 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior year, reflecting investments associated with new and remodeled stores as well as technology and logistics enhancements.
  • End of year cash balance of approximately $50 million.
