Net revenue increased 13.3% year over year to $192.4 million; Company raises FY outlook
Active Customers increased 5.6% on a trailing 12-month basis; Average Revenue per Customer increased 7.5%
Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY) (“Warby Parker” or the “Company”), a direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
“Warby Parker’s Q3 performance is a direct result of our team’s commitment to making progress on our strategic initiatives, in particular expanding our marketing efforts, investing in store expansion, and enhancing our holistic vision care offering,” shared Co-Founder and Co-CEO Neil Blumenthal.
“We’re particularly encouraged by the momentum we’re seeing in early Q4. As we close out the year, we’re focused on continuing to capture market share, bring new customers to the brand, and deliver on our commitment to accelerate growth and improve profitability year over year,” said Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dave Gilboa.
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Net revenue increased $22.6 million, or 13.3%, to $192.4 million, as compared to the prior year period.
- Active Customers increased 5.6% to 2.43 million on a trailing 12-month basis, and Average Revenue per Customer increased 7.5% to $305.
- GAAP net loss of $4.1 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) increased 2.5 points to 9.0%.
- Net cash provided by operating activities of $27.3 million.
- Free Cash Flow(1) of $13.1 million.
- Opened 13 net new stores during the quarter, ending Q3 with 269 stores.
Third Quarter 2024 Year Over Year Financial Results
- Net revenue increased $22.6 million, or 13.3%, to $192.4 million.
- Active Customers increased 5.6% to 2.43 million on a trailing 12-month basis, and Average Revenue per Customer increased 7.5% to $305.
- Gross margin was 54.5% compared to 54.6% in the prior year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by the sales growth of contact lenses and increased doctor headcount, partially offset by efficiencies in our owned optical laboratories and lower outbound customer shipping costs as a percent of revenue, which were both driven by higher glasses growth.
- Selling, general, and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $111.5 million, down $1.0 million from the prior year, and represented 57.9% of revenue, down from 66.2% in the prior year. The primary drivers of decreased SG&A were reduced stock-based compensation costs and lower corporate expenses, partially offset by higher payroll-related costs from growth in our retail team associated with store expansion, and investments in marketing. Adjusted SG&A(1) was $100.6 million, or 52.3% of revenue, compared to $93.4 million, or 55.0% of revenue in the prior year.
- GAAP net loss improved $13.3 million to $4.1 million, primarily as a result of leveraging our expense base on higher revenue.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased $6.3 million to $17.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) increased 2.5 points to 9.0%.
Balance Sheet Highlights
Warby Parker ended the third quarter of 2024 with $251.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.
2024 Outlook
For the full year 2024, Warby Parker is raising its guidance as follows:
- Net revenue of $765 to $768 million, representing growth of approximately 14% to 15% versus full year 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA(1) of approximately $73 million at the midpoint of our revenue range, based on an Adjusted EBITDA Margin(1) of 9.5%.
- On track to open 40 new stores this year.
“We’re pleased that we delivered continued revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the third quarter. Given outperformance year-to-date, we are raising our full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance, which we anticipate will set the stage for a strong 2025,” said Chief Financial Officer Steve Miller.
The guidance and forward-looking statements made in this press release and on our conference call are based on management's expectations as of the date of this press release.

Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Glossary
Active Customers is defined as unique customer accounts that have made at least one purchase in the preceding 12-month period.
Average Revenue per Customer is defined as the sum of the total net revenues in the preceding 12-month period divided by the current period Active Customers.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Cost of Goods Sold (“Adjusted COGS”), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses (“Adjusted SG&A”), and Free Cash Flow as important indicators of our operating performance. Collectively, we refer to these non-GAAP financial measures as our “Non-GAAP Measures.” The Non-GAAP Measures, when taken collectively with our GAAP results, may be helpful to investors because they provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assist in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-GAAP financial information to supplement their GAAP results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest and other income, taxes, and depreciation and amortization as further adjusted for asset impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs, major system implementation costs, and transaction costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue.
Adjusted COGS is defined as cost of goods sold adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes.
Adjusted Gross Profit is defined as net revenue minus Adjusted COGS. Adjusted Gross Margin is defined as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by net revenue.
Adjusted SG&A is defined as SG&A adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, non-cash charitable donations, charges for certain legal matters outside the ordinary course of business, and non-recurring costs such as restructuring costs, major system implementation costs, and transaction costs.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus purchases of property and equipment.
The Non-GAAP Measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only. A reconciliation of historical GAAP to Non-GAAP financial information is included under “Selected Financial Information” below.
We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net income (loss) margin, or net margin, or Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income (loss) because we do not provide guidance for GAAP net margin or GAAP net income (loss) due to the uncertainty and potential variability of stock-based compensation and taxes, which are reconciling items between GAAP net margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin and GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively. Because such items cannot be reasonably provided without unreasonable efforts, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of the Adjusted EBITDA Margin guidance to GAAP net margin and Adjusted EBITDA guidance to GAAP net income (loss). However, such items could have a significant impact on GAAP net margin and GAAP net income (loss).
