Thank you for standing by, and welcome to the Stitch Fix Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, today's program is being recorded. And now I'd like to introduce your host for today's program, Cherryl Valenzuela, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today for the Stitch Fix Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2025 Earnings Call. With me on the call are Matt Baer, Chief Executive Officer; and David Aufderhaar, Chief Financial Officer. We have posted complete fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2025 financial results in a press release on the quarterly results section of our website, investors.stitchfix.com. A link to the webcast of today's conference call can also be found on our site. We would like to remind everyone that we will be making forward-looking statements on this call, which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by our forward-looking statements. Reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. Please review our filings with the SEC for a discussion of the factors that could cause the results to differ. In particular, our press release issued and filed today as well as our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025, which we expect to file later this week. Also note that the forward-looking statements on this call are based on information available to us as of today's date. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Please note that fiscal 2024 was a 53-week year due to an extra week in the fourth quarter. As such, the adjusted revenue growth rates we referenced on this call remove the impact of that extra week to provide a comparison that we believe more accurately reflect our performance. During this call, we will discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the press release on our Investor Relations website. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to be a substitute for our GAAP results. Finally, this call in its entirety is being webcast on our Investor Relations website, and a replay of this call will be available on the website shortly. And now let me turn the call over to Matt.

Thank you, Cherryl, and good afternoon, everyone. Over the last 2 years, we've been relentlessly executing our transformation strategy to deliver the most client-centric and personalized shopping experience. I'm incredibly proud of the significant progress we've made. We've fundamentally reshaped how we operate by strengthening the foundation of our business and embedding retail best practices. We've also made significant strides in reimagining our client experience. Our transformation is driving tangible results. We closed out fiscal '25 with a strong Q4, delivering 4.4% adjusted revenue growth. Revenue of $311.2 million exceeded our guidance and marked our second consecutive quarter of revenue growth. We once again gained market share in the U.S. apparel market this quarter according to Circana data. Adjusted EBITDA was $8.7 million or 2.8% of revenue. which also came in ahead of guidance. Our strong top line performance was the direct result of the improvements we've made to our client experience and assortment. Fix average order value grew 12% year-over-year, our eighth consecutive quarter of AOV growth. AOV growth was driven by higher items per Fix due to greater penetration of our larger fixed offering. AOV growth was also driven by fixed AUR that was up 7.6% year-over-year, as we continue to benefit from the newness and trend-right styles we brought to our merchandise assortment. Both our women's and men's lines of business accelerated revenue growth in Q4. Expansion into non-apparel categories and a greater infusion of established brands were the primary drivers. I'm especially proud of the continued strength of our men's business that delivered double-digit revenue growth in Q4 and a positive full year performance. Our core Fix channel continues to perform with Q4 revenue growth that outpaced our total growth. This is due in part to the encouraging initial results we're seeing from our new feature…

Thanks, Matt, and good afternoon, everyone. Our financial results in the fourth quarter and for the full year are a direct reflection of the strategic plan Matt outlined. We made disciplined choices to operate more efficiently, and that rigor enabled us to return to revenue growth earlier than expected, while driving significant leverage in our business. AOV growth was a highlight in FY '25. This was a main factor in our return to growth, but was only one of many clear signals of a healthier business overall. We're seeing encouraging trends in many areas, including more consistently bringing in highly engaged clients, retaining those clients for longer and selling them more items. This progress confirms that our strategic focus on the fundamentals from improving our inventory to enhancing the client experience, is the right path to drive sustainable, profitable growth. At the same time, we continue to deliver strong improvements to our cost structure. Over the last 3 years, we have removed a total of almost $500 million in SG&A spend, going from 53.1% of sales to 47.5%. Rationalizing our cost structure has become ingrained in our company culture. We achieved these operational efficiencies through a combination of large strategic initiatives and everyday expense management. We optimized our warehouse network and stylist workforce. We restructured our corporate head count to eliminate redundancies and flatten our organizational hierarchies. We focused our marketing spend on the most effective channels for growth and we reduced the remainder of our Fix cost structure. In FY '26, we will continue to identify additional savings opportunities that will allow us to reinvest in growth. Now let's turn to the numbers. FY '25 net revenue was $1.27 billion. On an adjusted basis, this was down 3.7% year-over-year, with revenue for the second half of the year, growing…

Certainly. And our first question for today comes from the line of Dana Telsey from Telsey Advisory Group.

And nice to see the progress, Matt. As you think about the changes in the business, particularly on the top line and the additional brands that you've added lately, where are you seeing the most growth from? And how are tariffs impacting the AOV? And then I have another question after that for a follow-up.

Dana, I appreciate the question and the recognition for the continued growth. And I think to answer your question in 2 parts, the first in terms of what we're seeing from our assortment and then the second, the impact that we're seeing from tariffs, particularly any impact for AOV. As we noted in the prepared remarks, both our women's and our men's business accelerated their year-over-year revenue growth on an adjusted basis in the fourth quarter. And that was driven by expansion into non-apparel categories as well as the greater infusion of established brands we've added to our assortment. If you drill down into our women's business, we saw increased demand for footwear and that grew over 35%. We also saw significantly improved demand for denim especially wide leg denim. We also saw improved demand for skirts that would include miniskirts, maxi skirts and fleeted skirt styles. And we also continue to see strength in our athleisure business. If you drill down into our men's business, first, just to point out again that we had double-digit growth in Q4 within our men's business and a full year of positive revenue comp in fiscal '25 for our men's business. In the quarter, and similar to our women's business, we saw a very high demand for footwear and athleisure. And we also saw a strong performance from national brands like Travis Matthew, Adidas, Marine Layer and Tommy Bahama, just to name a few. I'll speak to the tariff piece a little bit and let David add any additional context. In the fourth quarter, none of the improvement in AUR, the 7.6% year-over-year growth or the growth in AOV of 12%, which was our eighth consecutive quarter of growth is attributable to tariffs. That's in large part due to the great work that our tariff task force did in order to mitigate any potential impacts in the fourth quarter of fiscal '25.

Got it. And then the -- go on.

No, go ahead.

And then on the uptick in the sales, where do you see you're taking the share from? And given the volatile outlook for holiday, how do you think about planning for holiday or its timing, whether it is what you're seeing from your customers? How do you see that?

Yes. I appreciate the question again. We're very proud of the fact that we continue to gain market share. and that coincides with our growth in the fourth quarter, growing 4.4% on an adjusted basis, considerably outperformed the overall market, something that we are very proud of. And to me, that indicates the fact just that our superior service is very clearly resonating with our clients. I'm very proud of the trends we're seeing in our active client growth rates the fact that those have improved for 5 consecutive quarters. I'm also really proud of the fact that for the new clients that we brought in, we see 90-day LTVs continue to be at 3-year highs. With regards to who we are taking market share from, at Stitch Fix, we're very much focused on delivering the most client-centric and personalized shopping experience. And in doing so, we're picking up share from all of the retailers that are letting consumers down. It's our superior service that is enabling us to take share from a wide variety of retailers who don't and actually cannot deliver on the personalization consumers want and expect and that is core to our business. In terms of what we're doing for holiday, we talked about this last year, we really leaned into holiday more meaningfully than we ever had before, and we plan to build on that success in our holiday this year. I believe we're better positioned this year compared to last, given the changes we've made to our experience. A few of those of note is the continued flexibility we brought into our experience. That's what themed fixes, larger fixes, the ability to build a Fix around the freestyle item, and one that I'm particularly excited about is the introduction of family accounts. One of the critical components of family accounts is that really unlocks gifting opportunities for us. We've also, as I noted before, continue to improve our assortment across private brands, emerging brands and well-known brands. so that we can ensure that we have the right assortment to drive promotions at healthy margins as well as ensure that we have the right assortment to serve our clients for all of the occasions that they might attend over the holiday time period. And also the new features like Vision and Stylist Connect that I mentioned, those will continue to provide clients with new ways to engage with us throughout the holiday season. We've also talked at times about the investments we've made into our promotional and CRM capabilities. Those will also help us remain competitive during this time. And ultimately, it comes down to the differentiation of our business model that just continues to give us a competitive edge and we're confident that we will continue to gain market share throughout the holiday time period.

And then, Dana, just to add one additional point to Matt's point, especially around active clients and how that might be part of the underlying growth from a revenue perspective. to his point, we're really encouraged by the continued improvement that we're seeing from a year-over-year comp standpoint. And when you play that trajectory forward for the client cohorts that we talked about, the new client adds, reengaging clients that have gone dormant and retaining our existing clients, there is that natural inflection point in clients. And that's one of the reasons why I called out earlier in our remarks that we see a quarter-over-quarter inflection in active clients in Q3. One of the other things we're seeing, I tend to give color on the most recent quarter. For Q1, we expect quarter-over-quarter active clients to be roughly sort of flat quarter-over-quarter to down approximately 0.5%. And so definitely just really encouraged with those trends. And again, this is part of that methodical approach that has worked really well for us of just focusing on deepening relationships with our clients and bringing in clients where this service really resonates with. And that's -- you also see that in some of the metrics where it's the eighth quarter in a row that we saw year-over-year growth in new client LTVs. And so just really encouraged with what we're seeing there as well, and that's one of the things we'll continue to focus on.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question comes from the line of Sole Jay from UBS. Sole, you might have your phone on mute. We're still not hearing you. [Operator Instructions] And this does conclude the question-and-answer session of today's program. I'd like to hand the program back to Matt Baer, CEO, for any further remarks.

Appreciate that. To close, I'll just reiterate how proud I am of the results the team delivered this year and how confident I am in the future of Stitch Fix. The momentum that we have, it proves that we have the right strategy, it proves that we have the right team and it proves our ability to execute at the highest level. It's my fundamental belief that you gained market share by playing offense. At Stitch Fix, we continue to innovate. We continue to strive to exceed our clients' expectations, and we continue to face external headwinds head on. We know our clients intimately, and we serve them individually. We build enduring relationships, which give us a competitive advantage relative to the transactional relationship consumers have with other retailers. Our differentiated business model of expert stylist paired with our proprietary data and algorithms as well as our leading assortment and generative AI innovations position Stitch Fix to uniquely serve clients. In doing so, I believe that we'll continue to take share from those that struggle to deliver the level of personalization and convenience consumers desperately want and deserve. Everything we do at Stitch Fix is in service of the client and to deliver sustainable, profitable growth. We are judicious, methodical and unrelenting in that pursuit. We remain focused and committed to accelerating growth and becoming the retailer of choice for apparel and accessories. I believe this is an exciting time to be in retail. I also believe it's an even more exciting time to be at Stitch Fix, where we are writing the future of what retail will look like. We are operating from a position of strength and a solid financial foundation. I'm more confident than ever in our future. Appreciate your interest in our business, and I look forward to sharing our continued progress.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your participation in today's conference. This does conclude the program. You may now disconnect. Good day.
